Ruth is a really wonderful host. She’s very kind and accommodating and has everything that you would need. The apartment is SO central, located barely half a block from an Underground station and near all of the theaters (if you’re here for that) and some very trendy neighborhoods (aka great dining, shopping, and cultural activities). As many other people have said, it is located up 4 flights of stairs. There was one night where I was so exhausted from enjoying London that even thinking about walking up those stairs made me tired. But it really can’t be overstated how every other aspect of the place FAR outweighs that one. As an added bonus, if you’re flying into Heathrow and are terrible with public transportation, you can take the Piccadilly line straight there from the airport — it really doesn’t get easier than that!
