For those considering this listing, realize that you will be stumbling upon a true gem. The apartment is modern, clean, and well kept; it has all the amenities: tidy kitchen, two bedrooms, two baths, wood floors, wi-fi and excellent internet access, with cable television. The apartment also has a very nice little outdoor deck where one can view the local foot traffic passing by. It is a quiet neighborhood. The area of Balham has a wonderful feel to it; the foot traffic is steady, the population young and extremely diverse, with a broad range of restaurant cuisines, a farmer's market, a convenient grocery store less than two minutes walk from the front door. And a tube station (and National Railway) is little more than 2 - 3 minutes easy walk; it makes for supremely easy access to anywhere in London in short order. The owner of the apartment is easily accessible, friendly, and extremely accommodating. One could not hope for a better partner in a business transaction.
