Vanessa was a great host, she made us feel very welcome and even after waiting up for us close to midnight due to our flight delay. The apartment was perfect- everything you need and a fantastic location! Close to the central line (tube) and only a short walk to covent garden or a little longer walk to the Thames or St. Paul's. Great little pubs (white swan just around the corner our fave) and restaurants (kimchee on holborn our fave) and supermarket options up on the Main Street too.
Would definitely recommend for first timers in London, perfect hub for London adventures of all kinds (umbrellas came in handy) and Vanessa was very quick to reply to our texts and questions throughout the week.
