Andrea and Mark's flatlet is a very comfy and homey base in a really cool neighborhood. The neighborhood reminded me of San Francisco when I lived there in the 1990s before it got all yuppified, a vibrant and colorful place full of people of various cultures and walks of life. The little kitchen is fine for making simple meals, but as another reviewer commented it does get a little steamy in there! But the steam can escape through the side door and does pretty quickly. All pots and pans and dishes are supplied and there is a convection oven (instead of just a microwave.) There is also a washing machine and my clothes dried very quickly even though the flatlet is in the basement.

There is a flat screen TV as well as a large assortment of DVDs to watch - a nice touch.

There is a bit of street noise - normal for an urban neighborhood - so earplugs would be handy for light sleepers or those unaccustomed to street noise.

I really enjoyed my stay and the neighborhood and wish I'd had more than six days! London is awesome beyond belief and having a real flat to come home to was so wonderful after a long day.
