The host was extremely friendly, responsive and accommodating. The location was absolutely ideal for shopping, restaurants and transportation. Unfortunately there were some issues with the appliances which made it hard to use the fridge etc. The hallways and lobby of the building did have a certain odor, but this did not at all reflect the apartment itself. We had some issues with the hot water as well. Overall, this location was the selling point and the flat itself was quite spacious and peaceful even on a busy street. I would recommend anyone stay there for their London journey.
