Nicolas's apartment has a nice home like feel. It is on the second floor and conveniently located near bus lines (half a block away) and two tube stations a ten minute walk. He was kind enough to accommodate an early check in for us. When we had some difficulty using the thermostat his response was immediate (we just weren't doing it right), and he checked in with us during our stay to see that all was well. There are the basic dishes in the kitchen, with both a filter coffee maker and Nespresso machine, toilet paper, laundry soap pods, dish washing pods etc. Nicolas also suggested some area restaurants that we enjoyed. The neighborhood offers many middle eastern restaurants and the convenience of grocery stores, M&S, Sainsbury, and Tesco as well as local vendors. We had a nice stay and the ease of getting to the sites was a big plus for us.
