Michael’s apartment has a great location, and it’s a good starting point to get pretty much anywhere in and around London. The apartment is also comfortable. There is also a nice outdoor space.
The main downside is ambient noise from other apartments in the building as well as some noise from the pub across the street (the pub closes at 10:30 most nights, and midnight on Friday-Saturday, so it isn’t noisy all that late into the night). However, there is a lot of noise at all hours of the day and night from other apartments, including the upstairs neighbor that does laundry and exercises/paces between 3:30 and 6:00 AM.
