Alex' place is in a fantastic neighborhood with lots of lovely cafés and restaurants. It still gets quiet enough at night though. All in all, the place is great value for london and very comfortable. We would stay there again. People not familiar with living in London should know that the place really is very representative for flats in London - very thin walls and windows, a cold and small bathroom with little water pressure and all. Either way, we had a lovely time and felt like we had gone native in a matter of hours ;)
