We loved Toby's place! I can't imagine a better location for ambiance and for being right in the middle of things: theatre, restaurants, shops, activity, tube stops, etc. We loved the activity and sounds of the streets that we could hear from the living room and then things always quietened down by 11:00 - 12:00 midnight. In any case if you wanted to go to bed early, the bedroom is at the back of the flat and with the door closed you couldn't hear a thing. The building is over 200 years old so there are the expected age related creaks and cracks but nothing that would prevent me from recommending the place or from staying there again; if anything, they add to the ambiance. Toby was very good in responding to questions or concerns. I would definitely stay here again!
