This is possibly the best place you can stay while you are in London!

The apartment is in a very central location. The bus stop is literally at the door step of the apartment complex and there are direct buses which will take you to all the major locations - Westminster, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Trafalgar Square, Waterloo Station, etc. - with service every 2-5 minutes. From London Eye nearby, you have easy access to the Thames ferry service. The Tube station is a 5-8 minutes walk from the apartment but we just wound up using the bus most of the time as it was so convenient and cheap. There is a Tesco Express right at the corner of the apartment block so groceries and food is within arm's reach. Cafes and pubs are also a short walk away so you never need worry about food.

I found the apartment to be clean and well-decorated. The room was comfortable for two and a great bargain compared to staying at a hotel (London hotel rooms are tiny and expensive!). Furniture was fairly new and well maintained, we had no problems during our stay. The bed, while basic, was comfortable. Simon provided ample toiletries in the ensuite bathroom, and also clean towels and sheets and spares in case we needed them. Water pressure in the shower was good which is always a plus point for me!

There is a large-screen TV with lots of channels and good wifi service at the apartment. Simon has a ton of travel books and even left a London tourist guidebook for us in case we needed it.

Simon was a great host. He met me at the apartment to show me around. He was also very accommodating and got us a floor standing fan when we requested for one, and even allowed us to extend our stay for an extra night when we had a last minute change of plans.

I would highly recommend staying at Simon's place and will definitely stay there again during my next visit! Five stars!
