Although other reviews say as much, this truly is a perfect place to stay for a visit with London. The apartment itself is perfectly set up for two people, and everything from the kitchen, bathroom, bed and garden were perfect. John and Mario were always available over text/email to answer questions, but with all our coming and going along the common entrance hall, we never saw them after the first day when Mario met us for check-in. He was so warm and inviting it felt immediately like home. The edible goodies they provided in the kitchen were great and so thoughtful! (especially after the long travel hours).
The neighborhood is very quiet and easily walked at any reasonable hour. The nearby Co-op food store (at most a 5 minute walk away) was an excellent place for things we needed for the kitchen. Along the way we'd pass over the canal, which made for a really nice walk on times we decided to take a detour stroll. Even closer than the Co-op were two bus stops with lines that allowed us to get anywhere in London. With Travelcard added to our Oysters, it was so easy to get around that we really miss the convenience, and it made John & Mario's place a perfectly located getaway from the busy rush of central London. This apartment truly is a great place to stay and made itself as much a part of our good memories of our trip to London as the city itself.
