My mum and I stayed in Amanda's apartment when we went for a weekend trip to London and I have to say we had a fantastic time. Amanda was a brilliant host, she was so accommodating when our flight was delayed and didn't mind that we arrived two hours later than expected!!! Our room was really nice, there was lots of wardrobe space and the bed was so comfy. We spent alot of time outside the apartment but it is perfect if you want to spend time relaxing there also as there is a lovely sitting room and rooftop terrace. There were lots of restaurants in the local area and we went to one around the corner from the apartment which had amazing food at a really reasonable rate. I can't remember the name of it but I'm sure Amanda will be able to tell you. She provided us with lots of information prior to travelling which was great including all the markets occurring in the area, restaurants to go to and good shopping areas. Regarding transport the bus stop for buses going directly into the city centre such as Oxford and Regent street were around the corner from the apartment which was very convenient!! We had a great weekend staying with Amanda and we look forward to staying there again in the future:)
