The apartment is very much as described, very spacious, secure and the little balcony a nice plus in summer. James is an attentive host, communication was perfect. Noise from the High Street is really not an issue, but for the very "noise-conscious" being in the flight path of Gatwick could be a little worrysome in the early hours, but being close to this airport is a plus when you consider getting to Clapham which is a fantastic place for getting around London! The public transport possibilities are perfect and you have everything you need on your very doorstep. Having a lift was a heaven sent as my elderly mom has difficulties with stairs at the moment.
