When you check in - it is a self check in automatic system which works perfectly and user friendly. The surtoundings are great; 15 mins walk to Portabello market and five minutes to subway and bus which is on central line. So impossible to get lost. The apartment is in a residential area, well protected and really quiet. If you are a runner, it is just ten minutes run to THE Hyde Park. So i totally find it good for the price. Thank you Beatrix.
