We had a really lovely time in the apartment. Very cosy and everything you need. Ian is really nice and easy to contact, he made us feel welcome from the start. I was glad to have the opportunity to leave my bag earlier the first day and longer on the last. By foot it takes some time to get to the center but it is 5 minutes from elephant&castle station and a 15-20 minutes walk from the beautiful Tate modern or London eye.
