This is a terrific apartment, which in itself, is exactly as cited in the airbnb pictures. However, the building it is in is rather odd and a little disconcerting - a big 'Stalinist style' building with multiple entry points. During my stay London had a heat wave, and Ric was terrific in suggesting I buy a fan which he reimbursed immediately. This made the stay much more comfortable. Unfortunately the only windows and doors for the apartment open to a common balcony that is shared across all units that side of the large building, so there is not the element of safety I would ideally have hoped for (travelling as a single woman) - as once the windows and doors to the apartment were opened (which was desperately necessary given the heatwave), then your apartment is literally open to everyone on that side of the building. The apartment opens to an internal courtyard which was quite grim - but hardly used so the apartment is relatively quite, bright and a good working space (all as advertised). In addition the apartment is very clean, well maintained, nice quality towels & bedding, and kitchen is very well equipped. Ric was excellent in all his communication. He was accomodating in allowing me to check in early and I also appreciated checking out at noon.
