Paul was a great host! He even helped us with our luggage, coming out of the subway station. The apartment looked just like it did in the pictures, and he had all the amenities you can need, as an iron, hairdryer, and even an extra outlet converter. The neighborhood was great with many different pubs, and restaurants just a short walk away, and very close to the river. As advertised we had a clear view of Big Ben; we could even hear the bells ring at the top of the hour.
