Mark was a great host and communicated promptly. The penthouse flat is stylish, comfortable , light and airy, and surprisingly quiet. There was a party going on in another flat in the building, but once we were inside Mark’s place we couldn’t hear anything. Checking in was easy using a lock box. Mark has a comprehensive notebook with details about the flat and the local area. The internet worked on first try. The long balcony was a real delight and ideal for that first morning coffee.
There are several tube stations within easy walking distance and we felt safe walking from the tube at night follow an evening out. Plenty of pubs and restaurants in the neighborhood, although several are closed over weekends. The Museum of London is a short walk, open on Sunday and not to be missed. It took us about 30 mins to walk to Shakespeare’s Globe.
