This is a perfectly adequate apartment in a very central location. The building is in London's West End, which can get a little rowdy on weekend nights. However, it's worth the trade off for the convenience of being able to walk fairly easily to most central London sights (Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, etc.). The apartment is clean even if the stairwell leading up to it is a little grimy. The only real criticisms (hence minus one star) are: 1. the *very* noisy plumbing system, which sounds like a low-level jackhammer whenever any water is running (shower/sink/toilet)., and 2. a repetitive mechanical noise from behind the wall, which made it hard to sleep. This last one may sound nitpicky, given that it only lasted a second or two every minute or so, but it was relentless, therefore I do not recommend this apartment for light sleepers.
