My trip to London got off to a bad start when my train was delayed, and then I encountered some public transport "issues", but Ian was extremely accommodating as my ETA grew later and later... I was going to a concert at Islington Assembly Hall, which I had known was close, but it was in fact about 20 seconds walk away from the apartment! There were also loads of restaurants within easy walking distance, and a bus stop almost directly outside (and, I believe, two tube stations both about five minutes away), so the location really couldn't have been more convenient.
The apartment was beautiful, and my room was extremely comfortable. It was great to be able to use the kitchen, and I really enjoyed my Sunday morning bath (a real luxury for me).
I thought that Ian was a superb host, very friendly, and I wish we'd had more time to chat.
