Loved being so close to everything, but being in a real neighborhood--not touristy. Elephant and Castle shopping centre had a Tesco for groceries, bus stops we're just steps away, and tube was so convenient. Despite record high temperatures for all but our arrival and departure days, the flat stayed comfortable. Closed up windows during the day, and opened at night. The front bedroom was a bit warmer than the others as we did not open those windows. Hosts left us bananas and biscuits to snack on, which the children loved!
