We had a wonderful 7 day vacation in Alfredo's comfortable apartment. The apartment was clean, and well equipped with everything needed. It did take awhile to figure out how to work the storage heaters and the power shower. I guess these are unique to the UK and are not something we had seen before.

For us it was like being in our NYC apt: a place to have our normal breakfast, check our devices, then set out on a journey. And it was a place for us old folk to retreat back to at mid afternoon to relax before leaving for an evening outing. The view out over the neighboring rooftops with the Shard in the distance being lit up by sunrise and sunset was picturesque. The neighborhood is quiet residential. We heard no noise in the apartment from the street or from inside the building.

The apartment is in a neighborhood of apartment blocks, a short walk to a bus stop with 3 bus lines going through central London. One to London Bridge, one to Trafalgar Square, the other to the major tube hub of our Kings Cross area. So with our iPhone and CityMapper, we could navigate the buses and tubes like natives.

Another short walk took us to the new Granary Square area with great places to eat, and the University of the Arts London where we saw a student opera equal to NYC off-Broadway.

Alfredo was very helpful in allowing us to drop off our bags early, and we had an option to leave them for a later pickup in the afternoon of our leaving. Overall a great experience. Thanks Alfredo.
