The apartment is accurately represented by the photos, no unpleasant surprises. The bedroom is very quiet. It is on a calm street halfway between 2 major roads, which means while the apartment itself is quiet, there are many many restaurants and shops very close by, including 2 small groceries if you want to cook at ‘home’. It’s about 10 minutes by foot from 2 different underground stations and a couple minutes from buses. It’s also a great and safe neighborhood to walk around.

Nicole was a great host. When I let slip it was my first visit to London, she sent tons of suggestions for things to see and do, places to eat, and tips for getting around. She was also very proactive and communicative with email.
