I never actually met Tom as he was away. However, he made arrangements for us to get in early.
The flat is as described and in fine weather the veranda must be a real boon.
The flat is clean and roomy.
We only slept there as we were only in London for two days so didn't waste a minute. The building is literally 10 minutes walk from Haggerstone Station which connects via three stops to the Victoria line and central London.
Thank you Tom
