We chose this area because our eldest son is spending a semester at nearby Queen Mary University. We were a party of 4 for half of the week, when our middle son had to return to university back in the states, so Phoebe's place was so much more comfortable than a hotel room! It was nice not to have to squeeze into one room. Phoebe had left some breakfast basics for us in the kitchen, which we really appreciated, especially on our first day before we got our bearings. The place was a manageable walk to the Underground, and Phoebe gave us tips on what to do the first day in the neighborhood where we went to pick up our London Passes; after that our son was our tour guide. The apartment was clean, Phoebe left detailed notes and instructions, and replied promptly. We had a great time in London.
