We had a wondeful two week stay in Costa’s flat. This was our first trip to the UK, Costa was very responsive to all of our pretrip questions and he made sure that someone was available to greet us when we arrived. The location was ideal for travel throughout the London area, right on the edge of zone 1 and zone 2 (2 blocks from Oval station) so travel was easy and less expensive. The neigborhood felt safe and clean and pleasant to come home to after long days sight seeing. This is a family type neigborhood so there were no loud and roudy bars or clubs – but they are easy to get to if you chose to. Shops and markets are within a few blocks and the kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. This flat is on a corner across from St John’s church so you will have church bells especially on Sunday and road traffic noise during the daytime when the windows are open. Everythng settles down nicely at night. Oh...and both the bedroom and the lounge each had it's own door and the bath is off the entry with it's own door - so there was pleanty of privacy if you are traveling with friends.
I would stay here again without a doubt…It was an excellent London experience. Thanks Costa!!!
