My wife and I stayed in a room, one of 2 in the flat, for 4 nights. First of all, the location was outstanding for us. As Kian says, there are many restaurants, cafes, pubs, and shops nearby. We had no trouble finding the little independent places we prefer, but for those who want to stick to the “safer” places, i.e., chain restaurants and cafes, you can find those nearby as well. We like to walk, and enjoyed walking down to the Covent Garden area, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, and other locations from the flat. But we also discovered that Islington, which is nearby, is a wonderful area, well worth exploring. We walked up to the Exmouth Market neighborhood, full of restaurants, shops, etc. We walked to the Comumbia Flower Market on Sunday, which was an absolute gem. Much cooler and funkier than I had expected. I felt like I was back in London of the early 1980s.

As for the flat, we had our own toilet and shower, with the person in the other room using one out in the hall. It was very nice and in excellent condition. The bed was very comfortable, as we like it a bit on the harder side. We never used the kitchen other than to grab a glass for water, but it was quite nice as well. There was a TV in the flat, and there may have been one in the room as well, but I can’t really say, because we were not interested in watching TV.

Despite being about a 60 second walk to an underground and train station, in a fairly large building with a lot of flats, and surrounded by many places to grab a bite or a drink, it was totally quiet in the flat. The location could hardly have been better, being close enough to walk to many things, very near the transit station, and it felt quite safe coming and going whenever we felt like it.

I would not hesitate to stay there again, or recommend it to friends or relatives heading to London.
