Savio's flat was a perfect fit for me. The location was about 25 minutes from the middle of SoHo and extremely accessible by both a close underground station and a very close bus stop. It was very clean, spacious and fit my needs. Unlike a lot of downtown London flats, the bathroom and shower in particular was large and did not feel cramped at all. I would happily return any time.

The best part, above all, was that staying in this particular unit genuinely felt like living in London for a little while, not like spending a few weeks in hotel or hostel otherwise. It was only a short walk to a nice pub down on the corner, a close grocer and pharmacy - and a little further to the very populated portobello road.

The only downsides I experienced all week:

One, I will note that the space is directly off of the train line, which some may not prefer if the are looking for absolute silence. Being from city life, it was no different than I am used to back home and not an issue at all.

Two, I found that cab drivers in the city had a hard time understanding where the building was located, which usually involved me having to pull up the address on my maps application and show them directly. It also generally ran about 20-25 pounds for a cab ride from SoHo to the unit. Because of this, I would strongly suggest using Uber if you're trying to get around - it was almost half the price and much easier to deal with.
