Chris is exactly as he appears in the profile photo, less the kindness which you can not see in a 2D photo! This charming host, came by his own car to pick us up from the National Express station in Baker street in the middle of the night, as we arrived after 23:00!! WE could not believe our eyes! His kindness extended far beyond, since he asked us if he could greet us with some food and according to our list, he bought and carried into the apartment some evening snacks for us! The neighborhood is exactly as described and the apartment is spectacular as said! The cleanliness and pale grey/white colors are of exquisite taste, and the apartment is fully equipped as to satisfy any needs! The nice surprise never written anywhere is that Chris provides for any guest a welcome breakfast package consisting of : milk, orange juice, 6 pack bagels and butter, tea, coffee. Superb welcome as next day we were able to start fresh and happy without moving one leg from the bed! Everything is functional and neat and nice in the apartment and the fact that you have all the transportation at your feet is wonderful! You are at easy reach of Baker Street Underground, Edgeware Road Underground and in walking distance to Oxford Street at Marble Arch (7-10 min walk). Take a 1 day pass for a short stay or 3 day pass for longer period, don't waste your time on calculations, it pays off to buy an Oyster Card. Useful tip : you have the No. 1 Sushi Delivery in London, just across the street, over the Marylbone Road, at 156. Superb food, we ate Japanese every night in the apartment, pries being more than convenient. We were a family of 4 adults plus one small baby of 5 mo old, we were walking to Regents Park, superb! The Madame Tussaud Museum is near the Baker Street Underground Station, at 5 min walk. There are shops for quick grocery purchases at the corner or alternatively a very good value for money is at the Mars and Spencer Food Hall (very nearby the property, on Oxford Street or alternatively nearby the Edgeware Road Underground). Chris had umbrellas for all of us, internet connection, maps of London! Chris is a wonderful host, he will advice you on whatever you may need, he has 3 children, all grown ups and all artists! He takes pride talking about them, he charmed us on every level! Definitely, without any doubt will stay only at his place while visiting London again!
