This place is centrally located in the middle of everything. If you want to be within striking distance of theaters, shopping, so many restaurants, bars, and cafes this is your place. The flat is very spacious and worked really well for two colleagues traveling together on business. Of course, the best part about the flat itself is the rooftop patio. The weather wasn't the best during this weeklong stay, but that didn't stop us from opening up the dining room doors to the outside or enjoying coffee outdoors each morning. Rio was an excellent host and was easy to keep in touch with via (Hidden by Airbnb) .
A few favorite spots in the neighborhood if you are looking for things slightly less touristy:
Cafe Verona - located just downstairs. Simple, fast, cheap food;
Da Mario - small Italian restaurant with authentic food, 2 minute walk;
10 Cases - wine bar with small plates, good music, great owners;
Cicchetti - another Italian spot very close. Sit at the bar and get great; service/conversation. The restaurant is pretty hectic;
Gordon's Wine Bar - outside if weather allows, the "bunker" is a must try unless you are claustrophobic! Definitely unique;
Nell Gwynne - tiny, off-the-beaten path pub with a good story and mostly locals;
Lamb & Flag - same but bigger and even better story;
Terroirs - my favorite London spot, hard to find. The downstairs bar feels like you're in on a little London secret;
Wow Retro - fun vintage shop beneath the flat;
Super Superficial - cool t-shirt shop that supports local artists;
Forbidden Planet - awesome store for your inner nerd or the little nerds back home;
