The apartment was clean and like the photos shown. As others have said, the stairs are quite steep (but Gavin who welcomed me at the door very generously carried my large suitcase all the way up - thanks! ). The area is fairly noisy, especially on the side street under the window, but you do feel quite safe inside, as the flat is several stories above ground level. And you don't hear noise from the other inhabitants of the building (except sometimes in the staircase :) ) . Centrally located and easy walkable distance from many attractions and West End theaters. Oh and for cold days, there is an efficient heater that is easy to operate.
