Glyn's wife Lucy welcomed us to the apartment at check-in. She was a very gracious host. The flat itself is very large and was more than enough space for two of us. We used the flat as a home base while exploring London and other parts of the UK. The kitchen is very basic and limited, but the bathroom is large and nicely furnished. The area is very quiet - it's a 10 minute walk to the Victoria or Pimlico underground stations, and about as far to get to the nearest restaurants and pubs. It's not the most comfortable apartment, but it's clean and perfectly functional if your goal is to get out and see the city. Also, the terrace would be great during the summertime.
