Simon's flat was private, comfortable, and in good working condition. Most importantly, it was very convenient. The underground entrance was a half block away, a true godsend in a city where Tube stops are few and far between. It made the entire city easily accessible. The flat is also slightly below street level, which turned out to be most fortuitous since London was suffering a heat wave. Everyone was sweltering while we were cool. We made the right decision with this rental.
