Emily's place was in a great location with pubs and restaurants close by and a 10-15 minute walk to the Victoria Station. It was very clean and was perfect for the two of us to explore London. I am not sure if check in is always this way, but we had to pick up and drop off the keys at a hotel about a 10 minute walk away. We don't mind walking at all but it was kind of pain lugging suitcases.
