At first it was a little overwhelming coming into a big city such as London for the first time. But Atau provided some notes and maps with guidance on how to get around using the local transportation. It was extremely helpful and we managed to get around on day 1 without any hassles.
The apartment was quiet, quaint, warm, cosy and very neat. We felt at home right away and it did not take much to feel comfortable and settled in. We didn't spend much time in the apartment apart from the evenings when we got back to wash up and sleep, as we were travelling around London sightseeing.
We felt safe in the area, using the Red bus mostly and the Pritchard road stop was our key marker and the 55 bus stops right in front of Temple Street, 1-2 minute walk from the building front gate. The 26, 48 and 55 buses literally take you into the main areas. Coming back to the apartment late at night was no problem at all.
Atau's apartment was an excellent choice and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
David at the foyer reception also happened to be from our country South Africa and is the friendliest man.
