This is a real gem of a place. I loved the fact that it was homely and lived in but comfortable and quirky. Only problem I had is Doreen has such a vast library of books that I didn't want to leave the apartment.
The area is quiet yet central enough that you get the London experience. When you leave the apartment and turn right you are about 30 paces from the Thames. It is a lovely stroll from there to the London eye and Westminster. I was worried that it may not be safe for woman and 2 teenagers to walk late at night after a show. I had no need to worry as it is a really quiet but safe area.
Without doubt I will return here in late autumn, Doreen is a wonderful host. She was very accommodating to my requests and questions. I would recommend Doreen's apartment without question
