We loved staying at Yan’s place. Everything met our expectations - comfortable bed, super homey, full kitchen (we cooked Christmas dinner) , bathroom, washing machine in the apartment and even access to a shared dryer. The place was in a very quiet spot a short walk (6 minutes) from the tube station on the Piccadilly line which took us there straight from Heathrow. Yan recommended restaurants and pubs 5-15 minutes walk) and gave directions for the supermarket (5 mins walk). The river was 30 mins walk but many parks were closer than that. We couldn’t check in at 11:30 because Yan had broken her arm 😔 and was relying on a cleaner. Yan took our bags though and made an excellent suggestion - to catch the tube (Piccadilly line) in to London (25 mins to Covent Garden) and spend the day rather than wait for check in locally. We thought we’d be too jet lagged having flown from Australia but it was a fantastic few hours in central London seeing all the sights. Thank you, Yan!!!
