Marie was friendly and welcoming. Her flat was cosy and really quiet which is mostly appreciated in a city like London. The location is quiet but about 15 minutes walk from the busy Earl's court and there are frequent buses 3 minutes away that take you to Knightsbridge and one works 24hours. The tube station was open but functions when there are exhibitions. But Marie gave us the address to an adorable pub where we had lunch when we arrived. The food was great.
