I can't say enough wonderful things about the flat and about Marcus. The location was completely amazing... just around the corner from the Covent Garden Tube station and a couple of blocks from Leicester Square. There was a lift (thank goodness!... we had a lot of luggage!) that accommodated all 3 of us (unlike the one in our building in Paris!). The flat had plenty of room for the 3 in our party, with a roomy kitchen and a bright and sunny living area and a balcony overlooking the interior courtyard of the building. It is very homey, with a comfortable sofa, comfortable beds and plenty of plants. The area is very active but feels very secure, even late into the evening. The windows in the flat bedrooms are perfect sound buffers... even with lots of people on the street after the shows in the area, nothing could be heard once those windows were shut! There is plenty of shopping and eating all around the flat and there are 2 supermarkets within a couple of minutes walk (both are very nice, but you should definitely try M&S across from the Covent Garden Tube station... it seemed to have more unique items and it's slightly closer than the Tesco). Marcus was traveling out of town during our visit, but he arranged to have Pedro meet us at the flat upon our arrival and he couldn't have been more helpful and kind. Pedro very graciously went well above and beyond the call to help with any request we had and was readily available by phone at any time. Marcus was very kind and helpful during the booking process and throughout all the follow up. I've never used airbnb before, so I had tons of questions. Marcus very kindly and patiently answered all my questions in great detail, even from half a world away! He was a marvelous host (with a wonderful agent, Pedro) with whom I would not hesitate to stay again. In summary... great, homey, sunny flat with plenty of room in an ideally central location and an exceptional host. Stay here! You will love it!
