Mike's apartment couldn't be in a better location. We walked to the best roast duck in Chinatown, to Covent Garden, to the theaters at West End, Hamely's Toy Store, Selfridges, the British Museum, Grosvenor Square to eat at Gordon Ramsay's "Maze".... The cab fares and train fares you'll save! The peace of mind from not having to sort out transport!
The apartment itself is clean, comfortable & well equipped. Mike himself v kind and helpful and most responsive to any questions we had.
Having said this, travelers should note that the apt is only accessible by several flights of stairs, and there is no lift. Not an issue for us (Mike was extremely kind & helped with the luggage) but this may be an issue for some. Also, because the apt is so central & quite high up, light sleepers may be bothered by the festive sounds from the walking street & restaurants below, & some rattling from the windows when the wind blows hard. There's double glazing on the windows and this helps keep some of the noise out. Again, not an issue for us as you can't really expect such an ideal, central location without accepting some level of street noise.
All in, this is a fantastic place & we had such a great time staying here.
