The flat was just as attractive and homely as the pictures suggested-books, paintings, comfortable furniture. I by far prefer to stay in a place like this than a sterile hotel.
The area was vibrant with a lot of street life- old guys playing cards, people chatting. The tube really is a hop step and a jump and the local shops are good- amazing fruit and veg shop on the corner. Good value for money all round and a slice of London life into the bargain.
