This was a great stay!
The host is very accommodating. He gave us a later check-out when we changed our plans.
The apartment is within easy walking distance to stores, restaurants and public transportation.
The street-view picture that came up after I first booked does not reflect the vitality of the neighborhood. The apartment is just off of busier parts of the area, making it ideal- quiet, but less than a two minute walk to where things are happening.
Get up early, get some coffee, walk less than 20 minutes to the Tower, and watch London wake up.
Get a table of Duck and Waffle, a six minute walk away, about forty floors above the street. Enjoy a great meal while mapping out a plan.
