Jan's place was great for us. It was in a fairly centrally located area, with a tube station right by. We really liked the neighborhood, although it might not be what everyone is looking for when they come to London. We always felt safe, and had no safety issues at all. The flat is great, and suited our needs perfectly. Our favorite neighborhood spots were the Old George (pub), A Corner of the world (coffe/lunch spot), and E Pelicci (breakfast). A great flat if you want to stay just outside of the main area.
