Although this flat is about a 45 min train ride from Central London, it was SO much more affordable than other options downtown, and the fact that it is located right next to a train station that takes you right into London made it very convenient, so the distance wasn't a problem for us. The friendly locals in the area were very surprised to find out we were American tourists staying in the area, however, as they don't see many, apparently. This flat gives you the authentic London suburb experience.
Bobby is very friendly and helpful. When we accidentally locked ourselves out of the flat late one night, he made a special trip over just to let us in.
One of the best restaurants we ate at whilst in London was close to the flat - Zee Best Doner. it was so good, we ate there twice! Just let the workers there know that their new friends from California told you to let them know it's your first time and to get the sampler platter. Amazing food for 4 for under $40 total!
Great stay!
