Sam's place is an excellent home base for exploring London. It's a fully functional independent apartment you can cook and do laundry in, and there's a grocery store across the street that's open until 11pm, which is super convenient. It's right on the Regent's Canal, which has a lovely walking trail in both directions. You can follow it to Camden, to the zoo, to King's Cross and thus the rest of London, or just wander until you find a cool looking place to eat. The key pickup was very easy, and Sam is super easy to get a hold of for any questions or concerns you have. The apartment is on the 6th floor so the street-level noise is muffled which made it very easy to sleep. There are also plenty of thoughtful touches like a couple umbrellas, lots of tea, and Netflix, which make the space feel a little more like home. Excellent value, you can't go wrong. Well worth every penny.
