Would really recommend staying at Jan's place! The apartment is even better than what it actually looks like in the pictures. We visited London for business and stayed for 3 nights in Jan's apartment. The apartment is just behind High Holborn street. It is part of a block of flats and it is on the first floor. Just before you enter the block there is a big courtyard surrounded by a few more ground level houses. There is a pub right next to the main entrance of the yard which makes the whole atmosphere more friendly. It seems to be quite a safe neighbourhood as there is always someone walking around and cars passing by. The main gate operates with the use of a code. You need to walk 7-10 meters to cross the yard, to enter the block of flats. There is also another door to enter the block of flats, which opens with a key. Although the apartment is located close to the centre of London it is very quiet. We communicated with Jan very often and he was more than pleased to answer all our questions in a couple of hours. Once we arrived at the airport we texted him so he arrived at the apartment before us. As soon as we entered the apartment we were amazed for it was even better than the pictures we had seen. The entrance has a corridor which leads you to the living room. The living room is huge. Two families can easily sit, chat and have dinner on a big table. The big windows allow the light to get into the house even on cloudy days. What a great way to start your day! There is also one bedroom with a king size bed and a big wardrobe. There is also a bathroom with a shower next to it. The kitchen is fully equipped and it is next to the living room. There is even an espresso machine with capsules provided by Jan. In order to get to the second floor you need to climb about 8 stairs which aren't very steep. Once you are there, there is a big window with a view to the living room. On your right there is a second bedroom with a double bed. On the left there is a third bedroom with a queen size bed, an ensuite toilet and a bath tub in it. Each bedroom can accommodate two people. All bedrooms have a spacious wardrobe. The heating system was sufficient and there was plenty of hot water all the time. Next to it there is also one small bathroom with shower. The kitchen is right next to the living room. It is well equipped with all the stuff a family needs to use in a daily basis, like a big fridge and a brand new oven. a toaster, a filter coffee machine, an espresso machine with capsules provided by Jan. In order to access the upper floor you should climb...
