Perfect location: about 50 meters from Charing Cross Tube Exit 2, 80 meters to the entrance to the railway station, and 100 meters to Embankment Tube station. A variety of restaurants, pubs, supermarket and retail outlets in the vicinity.

Ian's flat is one flight of stairs above street level. The bedroom faces the back side, so the busy foot traffic on Villiers Street is not an issue.

Ian was at his flat when we arrived more than an hour late. He showed us to our room, presented us with various London guide books and brochures, and gave us a quick orientation on the amenities, including the washing machine. He was flexible and accommodating. On our last day, we parked our luggage at the kitchen area (although check-out was at 10 am), went around Covent Garden and gathered our luggage in the afternoon to catch our flight out.

Clean room and bath. Nice scent. Free wifi internet.

Over all, a good value.
