We stayed at Mike's place for 4 days during the second week of April. Mike was nice enough to meet us earlier then the original time we told him we would be in. The flat is very large and bright. Mike was very welcoming and showed us around the flat.

The best part about staying off Leicester Square is that it was a 5 minute walk to the National Gallery and and a 2 minute walk to the Portrait Gallery. We were able to walk to a Spamalot (a West End Musical) in about 15 minutes and to the London Eye in about 25 minutes. Being central was great.

There are plenty of restaurants to choice from right below the apartment and a Jamie Oliver restaurant only 5-7 minutes away.

There is double pane windows in the 2 bedrooms which will keep out the noise at night. I would not recommend sleeping in the living room, no double pane glass in that area. There is not a lift in the apartment so you have to be prepared for the stairs.

Overall, we had a great time at Mike's place. We truly felt like we experienced the West End in London.
