The location is ideal. Very central to transportation, yet also slightly east so that there were lovely weekend food markets specializing in artisan cheeses etc. shopped at by locals, not tourists. Great coffee shops abound. Note: although 5 flight up (LIFT>>>YAY!) the sirens of London to pierce through as do the early morning bottle crunching sounds of the recycle trucks. Not a concern for me, but more so for a light sleeper. That said, these are the sounds of city life to be found in NY, Rome etc. The flat is roomy and for the week we were there perfect with all our needs. The hosts were responsive and easy to get along with before, during and at exit. Easy self access. I would absolutely stay there again!
