The experience started as soon as my booking was confirmed. The host Salim contacted me and we immediately hooked up. Thereon as the date of our stay came closer he would send a reminder and inquired what do I require in terms of transportation and provisions for the house. Unfortunately he was not around when he arrived but his sister in law met us, showed the apartment and its facilities. The apartment itself is not as described but cozier. I like the rustic living cum dining room, full of pictures and books. Facilities are in great working condition. Location is central to the Holborn area with the Russell Square and Holborn underground stations at either end of Southampton Row. Alternatively buses are aplenty and stops nearby the apartment. What I love about the area is the relaxed atmosphere, plenty of dinning options and most of all two of my favorite coffee hangouts - Café Nero and Costa are just across the road. Great host, better apartment and excellent location - ideal for short or longer stops
