Mike was an excellent host to our family. Communication could not be better. Mike met us at the flat with no problems and answered all our questions about activities in the area. Could not pick a better place to stay while in London. It was right in the middle of everything, a bit touristy but that was exactly what we were looking for. Restaurants of all sorts, theaters, Chinatown around the corner, bars & clubs for those who enjoy the nightlife, tube and taxi access close by. Noise was not a problem due to the soundproofing of the living room and bedroom windows. We were there for Christmas and enjoyed the small touches such as lights in the living area to help us feel at home. Be forewarned that it is on the 3rd floor with no lift and may be challenging for some. However we did not mind, it helped us burn off the extra food we were constantly binging on. The flat is big, simply decorated and was more than comfortable for our family of four. In all, I would definitely stay here again. P.S. We've had a bad experience with airbnb where our host never met us and was left in the cold rain in Paris with no where to stay. Rest assured that Mike is not one of those people.
