Dil's place is just exactly as advertised and Dil is a terrific and responsive host. I want anyone reading this to understand that my comments are more of a warning, not a complaint. London in the summer is rarely hot--hence, virtually no one has air conditioning--it's just not needed. However, we managed to arrive in London during not just that "one week of summer" that London gets, but during a full-blown major heat wave! A fourth floor apartment means that heat rises and even with the windows open, the place does NOT cool down. We kept the windows open and ended up barely able to sleep. Since it is hardly ever necessary, Dil had no fans (she apologized for that). We went searching all over London and there were NONE to be found anywhere--the clerk at Argos actually laughed when I asked--all fans were sold out. Without the ability to make the air move, even with windows open, the apartment never got less than 30C/86F all night long. The problem was compounded by the street noise. This is London and there is street noise all the time. With the windows closed, the noise is not bad at all and pretty typical. BUT, when you have to sleep with the windows open because of the heat, a couple of other factors come in to play: there is a bus terminal around the corner, so buses come and go right below the window most of the night. In addition, St. Joseph's Hospice is just down the street which means there are ambulances with lights/sirens until late at night going back and forth. All this being said, one can't blame Dil for the situation, but since the news was full of the stories that scientists are warning that these kinds of heat waves will happen more and more often with climate change, I really felt that I should point out the potential problems. If you rent the space during Spring, Fall or Winter, no worries and Enjoy! During the summer, be mindful. It's a great flat, great host, but be prepared if the temp goes above 23C/75F for several days.
