What an amazing location-- steps from Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, and the Victoria Street tube station. Literally steps; I was astonished it was so close. London was the tail end of our trip so we were ready to relax and take it slow and this was a great home-base. We accidentally stumbled upon a changing of the guards, so you'll likely check that box with little effort. We have a two-year-old and the nearby green spaces were a life-saver, plus there's an adorable playground in St. James Park. The run around Hyde Park is about a 5K, so if you like to wake-up to a run there's that option (it's so much easier to run in the parks in London than the packed sidewalks). The flat is great for the location, an upstairs masters, one bathroom (the toilet is loud so don't flush when people are sleeping), a galley kitchen, and a living area with a pull out sofa and table-- this last room has double doors you can close which was GREAT for having a little one asleep upstairs while we watched TV or ate dinner. Diana provided and had set up a pack-n-play for our son which means we didn't have to hassle with traveling with one or renting one (we did bring our own sheets per her advance advice). Some other reviewers had commented on the size being small, but as a fellow city dweller I thought the place was pretty large (and cheap) for its location. I do agree with other reviewers that the stairs are very narrow, steep, and winding, therefore people with mobility problems or generally clumsy people should beware.
