This flat is in a great location, just blocks from St. Paul's, the Thames at Southwark Bridge, the Tate Modern, and two underground stops. It's also very central, and just a few tube stops to many attractions, including the West End and Westminster, Tower area, and Southbank. All in all, a good base for exploring most of London. Helen is also a great host and communicates exceptionally well.
The flat is smaller than the pictures indicate, and most furnishings are a little worn. The kitchen is also under equipped, with not nearly enough items for four people.
This is a fine place to stay in the fall, winter, or spring, but we cannot recommend it for summer months. The balcony and windows face an enclosed alley facing an office building that remains quite warm even on cool evenings, providing little real ventilation. The service staff from the office building next door also take their night breaks in the alley, so you're awakened by their loud talking and smoking below the 2nd floor flat every two hours if you have the windows open.
