Raoul's lovely apartment has been my home for the last 7 weeks , and it has been ideal. A very well equipped kitchen and Raoul left fruit and many other items in the freezer if I needed them. He even told me to finish off a bottle of malt whisky which was there ( and I did, I am afraid ). He is a great host and very thoughtful. The local area is also great with a good selection of quality restaurants and pubs within a short walking distance, together with a full size Waitrose ! Old Street and Barbican tube stations are walkable in under 10 minutes. The West End is a 20 minute bus ride away. In short this is a perfect location for a visit to the capital, either for work or pleasure. Thanks Raoul
