Gavin was a great host - very friendly, helpful and easy to get in contact with. He gave some suggestions of places to visit and how to get there.
The apartment itself was small but in a central location in Soho, a short walk from Leicester Square tube station. There are also many fantastic cafes and restaurants within a 10 walk.
Soho is a very busy area with lots of pubs and bars open till late into the night. At times it got very loud but if we kept the windows shut this wasn't an issue.
The only issue we experienced was with the installation of a broadband internet connection which was to replace the existing 3G internet dongle. This happened to be set for the day that we arrived however Gavin had pre-warned us about this and it wasn't a problem for us. Gavin was apologetic and tried to accommodate us as much as possible for the inconvenience, which was a nice gesture.
Overall a pleasant stay at Gavin's place and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others or stay here again.
