First Class experience from start to finish!

Chris is extremely hospitable and his prompt and clear communication ensured a smooth stay.

Upon arrival at 2300, Chris was there to greet us personally and help us carry our bags upstairs despite the late hour. Chris had thoughtfully stocked the refrigerator with milk, orange juice, and croissants for the next morning since everything was closed at that time of night. In addition, Chris' provided homemade marmalade and strawberry jam. Chris preloaded Oyster cards (London transportation cards) for us so we could begin visiting the sight straight away the next morning.

The flat itself is brand new and immaculate. The pictures and description is 100% accurate. The furniture is all brand new and the appliances are all top brands. In particular the beds are very high quality and comfortable. Chris has gone the extra mile for his guests and installed a pump/pressurizer in the flat to ensure the water pressure in the showers is high which most flats in London can't offer. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, and pans. There is also two kinds of coffee and tea. We cooked on two night and every morning for breakfast and were never in need for anything. We were extremely comfortable in the flat and it's a perfect place to relax in after long days exploring London. One final work about the cleanliness of the flat, it's very clear that Chris employs a top notch cleaner who cleans everything thoroughly before each guest. The linens and towels are fresh, the carpet is clean and freshly vacuumed and there is a great deal of attention paid to the details.

The flat's location is ideal for exploring the city due to it's close proximity to two Underground (Tube) Stations, Baker Street and Marylebone, from these stations you can directly access 5 of the 11 lines of the Underground and all of London, and link to Paddington Station where the Heathrow Express arrives. It's a 10 min walk down to Oxford Street for brand name shopping. For grocery stores there are 4 within 10 mins walk, a large Tesco and a Waitrose. Marylebone is a great neighborhood with many restaurants, bars and pubs within walking distance. It's an ideal base to explore London from without some of the crowds of other parts of London.

When we were ready to leave, Chris made arrangements to store our luggage because we were flying out later. It was final touch to an excellent experience with a great host! Hope we can stay again on our next visit to London!
