Host Paul was very helpful with answering questions prior to our arrival. The flat is as described and we found it to be clean and well-appointed. The bedroom that overlooks the street is a bit noisy with multiple sirens going off throughout the night as well as a club right opposite, outside of which there were many young people hanging out on Friday/Saturday nights and into the wee hours of the following morning. With the windows closed the sound wasn't too bad but still audible. The fluctuating heat in the water supply in the shower took some getting used to but I gather that may be typical for boiler heaters. The flat's location is excellent for getting around as there is a tube stop right opposite as well as numerous bus stops for going in all directions. Many of the city's sites (Big Ben, Westminster, The Eye) are within a 10 minute bus ride - or 30 minute walk.
