The flat looks exactly as it does in the photos, and the descriptions are accurate. Yes, you do have to climb three flights of stairs — but you should know that if you've read the listing and the reviews. Some reviewers complain about noise; our only complaint was about the noisy birds early in the morning. Other than that, it was relatively quiet for an urban setting. The neighborhood felt totally safe, even when we came back late in the evening. The shopkeepers in the immediate area were friendly and helpful. Larger shops (M&S, Aldi, etc.) are within a reasonable walk or a short bus ride. It's a bit of a walk to nearest Tube stations, but there are several bus lines that stop nearby, and you can get virtually anywhere in London easily. The flat itself is quite spacious, and the roof deck is a nice plus. We felt that we were actually living in London, not just visiting. In terms of value, you can't do better. A flat with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in central London at an affordable price is remarkable.
