Liz met us before our agreed move-in time so we could store our suitcases. Neighborhood is quite commercial resulting in lots of restaurant choices. Sainsbury's supermarket is just down the street.

We used taxis since there were 5 of us and we probably didn't spend much more on taxis than we would have spent on a bus. Also London is huge and getting around by public transportation can be a bit of a mystery for visitors.

The apartment is wonderfully spacious. Two bathrooms very nicely tiled. Didn't cook at all, but found the refrigerator and freezer more than adequate for yogurt, milk, ice cream, etc. Used the washer and dryer successfully (sometimes "foreign" machines can be puzzling).

Weather was very warm and with no rain so we enjoyed the breeze as we sat on the rooftop terrace. Internet connection worked fine.
