Mike was great at communicating with us. We arrived at the flat earlier than the check-in time, and he was gracious enough to let us in to drop off our luggage until the place was cleaned. We came back later and he walked us through the flat. He was very welcoming.
The location is wonderful and central to everything. We could walk to any of the main attractions (London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben) or catch the tube from the multiple stops nearby. There were many cafes to choose from just right outside the door.
There is a large supermarket a couple of blocks away, which was very handy.
The pedestrian street below was great for people watching.
The building was older and didn't have an elevator. Mike's flat is on the 3rd floor and was nicely updated and well cleaned.
There were new windows in the bedrooms and living room, which helped tremendously with the city noise below.
The living room was big and the sofas were very comfortable! The DVD movie selection was perfect!
Overall, we loved the flat! It was perfect for our family of four (two teenage kids) and we will have fond memories of our 2015 London vacation. Thank you, Mike!
