Michael provided prompt informative feedback to texts and arranged for me to be met at the apartment, the photos of which were an honest reflection of the place. The street is quiet - no through traffic - and the room is at the back of the apartment making it very quiet for London. Great place for access to the sites of London - by tube, bus or "Boris bike". A local market and three supermarket ministores are close enough for convenience but not close enough to generate noise.
I felt very welcomed to share their space and use their kitchen and living room - Michael left a note ending "mi casa, es su casa" and that sums it up!
