What a great stay with warm hosts in a truly terrific apartment! The apartment and experience with Jean Pierre and Flavia was the best choice we could have made. The hosts made us feel welcome even before our arrival. They speedily and cheerfully answered the questions sent in advance - for example, about how to get our big family (7 people, ages 6 to 78); 10 bags) make an efficient and cost-effective trip from Heathrow to their warm, welcoming and centrally-located flat. Although we arrived almost an hour early (plane early), everything was ready. They told us all we needed to know (dishwasher, regulating the heat, recycling, doormen, laundry, nearby eateries, etc.). The flat is bright, big, great for families but also for a business person who wants to be near everything in a place that's comfortable and makes one feel at ease. The 3 rooms and big central room are cheerfully decorated. The building is quiet, historic and residential building MINUTES AWAY (maybe seconds away!) from 2 tube stations; across the road from green and lovely Hyde Park (ducks, swans, pond, Kensington Palace, Lady Diana Memorial Playground) nearby excellent Indian and Persian food, mom and pop stores or chains (whichever you prefer), and quaint coffee shops. At first I thought the lively street below would keep us up but the double-pane windows made it very quiet. After a busy day spent in London's hustle and bustle, we were grateful for the chance to return to the warm and cozy flat. Our children started asking us around 4 PM every day"When can we go back to the apartment!"
