A beautiful, spotless, and well-appointed flat in a central location with a friendly and gracious host — our family of three couldn’t ask for more! Edwin was very accommodating, meeting us for a late hour check-in, as well as an early departure, and making sure we had plenty of information about the flat and the neighborhood itself. We had our five-year-old son with us and Edwin made sure that he felt welcomed, pointing out a small chair for him to sit, mentioning the Netflix options that might be best for him, as well as having a box of biscuits for him to snack on. As other reviews have stated, the building next door is being renovated so there was some banging and construction clatter, though not until we were already up for the day. Southampton Row is busy, but street noise was never an issue — the flat was very peaceful at night. The location was superb — in between two Tube stops with a bus stop right outside. The Russell Square station is the closer of the two, but Holborn has access to two lines. London is so walkable though, and Edwin’s flat is so close to so much. The British Museum is around the corner and Covent Garden and Soho are a mere 15 minute walk. Even Buckingham Palace and the London Eye are only 30 minutes apiece if you have the time — and there will be so much to see along the way. If you are traveling with kids, the excellent Coram’s Fields Playground is a great place for them to get some energy out. It’s just down the street from the Russell Square station — less than a 10 minute walk from the flat. We loved our stay in London and would highly recommend Edwin’s lovely flat to anyone looking for a comfortable abode in the heart of the city.
