Location is ideal if using tube daily, which we did. Leicester Station is literally two blocks from the flat. The three flights of stairs were a bit of a chore, but the view looking down into Chinatown below was a nice treat and made us feel part of the local scene immediately which was our goal for this trip.
Host was super and had lots of great recommendations. At his suggestion, we picked up last minute tickets for shows during Theatre Week. Paid a fraction of the face value for center stage seats using the Rush ticket option on Today Tix both nights. Again, walked to the theaters and lots of great dining establishments all week.
The flat is just as pictured. Simple, modern studio with all the basics and location that is easy to access from public transportation. Bed was comfortable. The pull out sofa suited us well for a second place to sleep, too. Washer/dryer and iron was a great help for us as well. Fridge kept our groceries for the entire week and we had everything we needed to live like a local during our stay.
Communication was excellent. Definitely not a quiet part of town, but if you are looking to be part of the hustle and bustle of London’s most lively areas, this place was a hit!
