John's flat is absolutely beautiful and located in a very nice neighborhood by Hyde Park. There was a local pub next door beaming with history, a great breakfast place just up the street, and easy access to the Underground and buses. I was afraid we would be limited in what we could see based on how far spread the historical sites are throughout London, but I was mistaken. We were able to see so many things by quickly hopping onto the Underground or taking a bus! John was a great host - the apartment was clean and the bed made for the most comfortable sleep during our three week trip.
