It was a pretty nice experience staying at Costa's apartment and he was really nice that he replied messages very fast, showed us around and willing to help us with many things, and he picked us from the Oval tube station which is on the Northern line(Black line) within zone 2 and very convenient to the central London (Trafalgar Square，China town，theatres，Euston station, kingscross station etc. without changing to other lines！）The location is really nice！The apartment is not so close to the tube station (but still within 10 minutes walk), but located on a quiet street which is very good thing during night. Supermarket, take aways, restaurant, post office, laundry, bus stations (including 24hr buses, eg.185 to Victoria) and park with tennis court are all within 5~10 minutes walk. And the local mini cab charged around £55 to the Heathrow airport which is pretty reasonable. The apartment was very sweet and warm, very clean and tidy. It got a fully equipped kitchen, fast wifi and many TV channels. One thing that I think I need to mention is that both the bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed in the living room are wide around 1.2 metres, though it's not a very big problem to my parents and I.
这次住房体验还蛮不错的，Costa 是个很好的房东，回复信息相当快，还来地铁站接我们，指给我们附近5～10分钟走路路程里的超市、包括中餐之内的外卖店、饭店、洗衣房、邮局和带网球场的公园。房子的地理位置很好，在一个很安静的街上，10分钟内走到位于黑线（northern line）上的oval 地铁站，2区内，到市中心（比如特拉法尔加广场、中国城、各大剧院，Euston车站、国王十字kings cross 车站，和坐去欧洲的火车站St pancras）都相当方便，不用换其他地铁线的。十分钟之内能走到的巴士站还有包括24小时运营的巴士在内的多趟去维多利亚Victoria车站和vaxhall车站的巴士（185、436和36路，大约20分钟之内到上述两个车站）还有去牛津街的巴士。这个公寓也很舒适暖和，相当干净整洁，厨房的配备很齐全，还有些茶和调料，还有鸡汤块嗳，这回我们留下了醋和老干妈。不过得说一下的是卧室里的床和客厅里的沙发床都只有一米二宽，一床两个人倒是也能睡得下的。
