The neighborhood is great - we enjoyed dinner & the Banoffee pie at MK just around the corner (next to Starbucks!). The Gloucester Road tube was roughly 5-7 min walk. Right at the tube station is a Waitrose where you can get groceries for the Flat. I recommend bringing canvas bags or a backpack for the walk back. The Gloucester Road station can take you directly to/from Heathrow which saved a bundle on transportation. Its just a five minute or less walk to Hyde Park and even though there is a pub on the corner, the neighborhood was very quiet which was great. This really is a great central location.
Michael provided excellent customer service. He promptly answered questions before arrival and the flat is exactly as photographed on AirBnB. When we did have an issue arise, Michael was there in a flash and had it all sorted. Things happen and the host’s response for me is key. Michael was top-notch. If we return to London (and I am sure we will) I would rebook.
