This delightful flat is located one block from Trafalgar Square, within easy walking distance to Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden’s Market, The National Gallery, Hyde Park (including the Diana memorials), St. Paul’s Cathedral, St. James Park, and Westminster Abbey. Not to mention the cornucopia of excellent neighboring restaurants and historic pubs – the Sherlock Holmes Pub is just a few meters away! There are also many theatres and studios in the area, including the Royal Opera House; plus, you might get lucky and enjoy a free concert at St. Martin’s in the Fields (which also has an impressive café that makes the BEST fruited scones in London!). Other great London attractions (e.g., Tower of London, London Bridge, Big Ben, British Museums, Greenwich Observatory, etc.) are an easy subway (“Underground”), bus ride, or river cruise away – thanks to those economical ticket fares and the Oyster card suggested by our host.
Our 1-room apartment with adjacent private bathroom was sunny, airy, and just perfect for us – it had lots of closet space for all our luggage and clothes. Every morning, our friendly and considerate host Phyllis provided healthy breakfasts of cereal, fruits, slices of bread, even purchasing special foods to meet our dietary needs. We enjoyed open access to the kitchen, living room, patio and were able to do a bit of laundry due to our extended stay. Awe, the air-dried clothes brought back lovely memories of our childhoods. Phyllis was always responsive to our questions about places to see, things to do, and directions for getting around.
We enjoyed an amazing and wonderful experience in London, thanks in large part to this AirBNB and Phyllis’ splendid hospitality. If you are reading this...please take our word for it, we could not have chosen a better location for experiencing London!
