David's basement flat is in a perfect location--close to the river for evening walks, the tube for getting around, the Tate Britain for all it offers, a corner shop for basic cooking needs, yet off the main roads for a much quieter experience. We also felt lucky to have the small patio, especially for the hot week we were in London! As others have noted, be aware that the bed is a small double, and there is no stand-up shower if those things are critical to you. The placement of the bathroom next to the entry-door is odd, but understandable when you imagine making the basement of this lovely old three story building into a separate flat. We would definitely stay here again.
