Overall we liked the apartment very much and we definitely recommend it. Monika was a great host, the garden was wonderful for the kids and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was just a 7 minutes (with kids!) walk to Gloucester Road underground station where there was an excellent supermarket. However it's very important to note that since it's a basement apartment (with enough natural lighting though) there could be some noisy steps made by people going in or out the building. For us it was just a bit annoying during a particular evening.
