Durrel very kindly accepted our baggage at 1p.m & then we checked in later on, which was so helpful as we planned to walk to an exhibition at the British Museum. The flat is so well located; 10 mins walk from King’s Cross & easy to walk to Bloomsbury, Trafalgar Square etc if you have comfy footwear. In the evening, I was in heels, so we used the tube from nearby Mornington Crescent (5mins walk) to Oxford Circus for a restaurant in Soho & it’s only 3 stops away.
The flat has everything you could need & Durrel took the time to explain how to use everything thoroughly. He provided coffee, tea, milk & cereal & there was a fully equiped kitchen for our use if required. The flat was really quiet & peaceful. I really appreciated the tiny garden accessed from the bedroom - a lovely green space. The bedroom is at the rear, so you don’t hear the road at all but the windows look like new doubled glazed sashes, so the whole flat is quiet anyway. The bed was extremely comfortable with good blackout shutters & we slept like logs. The decor is really interesting & we loved looking at all the art. A fantastic flat & generous, helpful host. Would definitely book again.
