Olga's place is very nice. The linens are nice, the apartment was quite bright, and the area is lovely. Also, the washer is very nice and easy to use. One thing to note - there are no clothes closets or dressers so you do have to live out of your suitcase - a minor inconvenience. A few great places to eat just around the corner. There is easy access to both the underground and the bus. You should know, however, that it is a good 30 minute tube ride to downtown London and the sights. So no popping back in to rest for 1/2 hour or so and then heading back out - takes too long. But you can get downtown with minimal to no need for transfers. Again, the area of the flat is absolutely lovely and you can walk to stores, restaurants, banks, etc. with ease. Olga is a very nice host. I recommend staying there.
