John's place is awesome. Super convenient to public transport. Close to Hyde Park. Good choices for food and markets around there as well. Perfect for a family of four.
He had lots of blankets and towels at the ready for us. Everything works including the washer, though it doesn't work well for drying. John has an apparatus for drying that worked for us. The bathrooms were small but worked out well for us. I highly recommend him and his flat.
