Location is excellent - 5 minute walk from tube stop on a major line, lots of restaurants and pubs around. Outside area provided a welcome "retreat in the city." We struggled with some amenities, though. Washer was not operational without a visit from a plumber. Heating did not work easily for us. And a couple of other minor things, all of which detracted a bit from our vacation. If you're from the UK, I imagine that this flat would be perfect for a London visit. If you're not (we're from US), I would still recommend it, but cautiously. Be prepared to have to figure some things out. Directions/instructions provided by the host were brief and not as helpful as they could be.
