The flat is very nice and has everythig you would need to make yourself feel at home and comfortable. It is fitted with modern appliances and amenities. There is no common room except the kitchen, however the room was very big and I was able to feel at home. The flat is close to shops and restaurants, very close to tube stops and bus stops, and it feasible to walk to Central London. I walked from there to St. Paul's and back just about everyday. Gianluca was also a great host and extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding area as well as Central in general. He is also readily available to answer any questions you may have.
