The apartment was big and comfy with updated furnitures. Pictures are pretty accurate. Bathrooms were dated, the ensuite was tiny, but it was functional and everything was in working condition.

Still situated within central London, the apartment was accessible via two Tube lines that are 7-9 mins walking distance away, and a bus stop with service 55 that brings you directly into Oxford. There's also a 24/7 convenient store across the street that carries almost everything you need, avoid Tesco. There are a few nice bars down the street if you fancy a drink.

We did not get to meet Rachel. Her friend Peter, was instead an excellent & helpful host who went the extra mile for us when we left our belongings behind. He helped us shipped the items to our following destination. The lift was also broke on the day we arrived, Peter graciously helped lug one of the luggages up.

In short, it is a wonderful place to stay if you're a group of 3-4, who wish stay away from the crowd, but still not too far away from the action.
