As advertised, this flat is a bit shabby but charming and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Charlie is friendly and responsive when questions come up. We were in the flat with our family, a total of 4 people - the very maximum the flat can accommodate. We thought the flat would be most comfortable for 2 but doable for us.

Buses and trains are easy. We went into Central London without trouble everyday for sightseeing and to enjoy restaurants. Battersea Park is nearby and is a lovely walk when the weather permits. There's even a zoo. The neighbors are quiet and although on a main street, the street noise didn't seem to keep us from sleeping well. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable; the other room has a futon for 2 people which is not too bad. The entertainment system is top notch - a welcome way to relax after a busy day seeing the sights. And we enjoyed piling onto the leather L-shaped sofa in a heap to relax together.

All in all, a comfortable, convenient, affordable stay.
