My sisters and I were visiting London for the first time. Sarah’s place was about a 30-40 min bus ride from the main city which felt a little far at first. Once we got the hang of public transportation, getting around was a breeze (the bus stop was about 5-8 min walk). We got there pretty late, at first the neighborhood felt rough and kind of scary. It was easy to get into the building which also felt a bit rough and kind of sketchy. But once we were in the place it was like night and day. The apartment felt like right out of an Ikea ad. Everything felt new and you could smell the fresh coat of paint. We had no problems with neighbors or anything like that. The water pipes or boiler would make an interesting noise but we sort of blocked it out after the first day. Sarah also had great Internet and Netflix which was awesome! It was a great stay and overall would come back.
