Lesley’s flat was in a lovely, new-to-me location. I travel to London a few times a year to visit my son, and try to stay near where he is living at the time. This particular neighborhood, De Beauvoir, was quiet, clean, and felt very safe. There’s a wonderful market just a block away, and some of the best oat milk lattes I’ve experienced at the De Beauvoir Deli.
It’s about a mile to the nearest tube station and was the first time I didn’t utilize the tube except for airport transfers. Ubers can take a little extra time to appear.
It’s a renovated Victorian home, which comes with noises that travel easily, so if you’re a light sleeper earplugs may be helpful. One side of the queen bed is against a wall, which was fine for my solo stay.
The flat is light and bright as advertised. It is clean and functional. Would recommend especially for solo female travelers who want a clean, safe space to stay while visiting greater London.
