From the moment we secured the flat, Sukhy was a wonderful host. The day before our arrival Sukhy said it would be fine for us to check in immediately upon arrival, about 2 hours before the permissible check in. Very courteous, especially considering that we had a 15 hour travel day with wee ones.

Although the measurements of the room are given in tiny writing in one of the photos, it's important to note that this property is (typical for London) VERY small. There is a tiny sette and lounge, so only three people can sit comfortably to socialize in the living room. The dining room chairs can be used for additional (albeit uncomfortable) seating. The photos show a rug (which is no longer there) and different artwork on the living room wall, but otherwise the photos are quite accurate.

There was mention by our host of a guestbook for the flat, but all that was available was a flipbook with musings about the city. While enjoyable, it wasn't descriptive beyond the post it with the wifi password. The dishwasher doesn't properly wash dishes, and we resorted to doing them by hand. The combination washer/dryer didn't have instructions, so after an attempt we ended up saving the washing for the second leg of our journey. Our host did offer to send the washing to the laundry across the street at his cost, but at that point of our visit (we were leaving the next morning) it wasn't convenient to do so. The Apple television was finicky and didn't work for most of our stay.

Our stay was enjoyable except on one occasion. Our host indicated that he would need to stop by briefly during our stay (just 15 minutes or so) for a non-descript reason. It just so happened that en route to the British Museum we stopped by to change clothes and discovered that our host was touring the property to another couple. It was uncomfortable to have strangers touring the property during our stay and would have preferred that our host be upfront about the reason for the visit. A sound policy we would recommend would be to respect renters privacy and only tour the property when it is unoccupied.

The location felt safe but as other reviewers have noted there is a LOT of street and bird noise. We managed quite well with earplugs and sleep masks, but for light sleepers do note it is bright and loud in the flat. Otherwise, it is nearly impossible to describe how completely ideal this location is: to the north, green space and a row of local pubs of which The Swan was our favourite. To the west, a 5-7 minute walk, is the British Museum, restaurants, shops and souvenirs. To the south 5 minutes walk is Holborn Underground, Sainsbury grocery, and myriad restaurants, pubs, and shops.

Despite some bumps along the way, we would definitely stay again and truly enjoyed our time in London thanks to Sukhy’s hospitality.
