Paul was a very considerate host, meeting us at the metro station to guide us back to his place which was several confusing blocks away. His apartment is everything as it's described. Very clean and roomy enough for a short stay with pretty much all conveniences. The best part about it was it's convenience! Literally a short 10 minute walk to the Thames and maybe 20 to Big Ben and even shorter to the bus and Underground. And yes, you can see Big Ben from the apartment window! The Black Prince Pub is about 20 steps from the apartment and a grocery store almost as close. There are other pubs and restaurants just around the block from there. All in all a very lovely stay and highly recommended!
