We had a perfect stay at Gordon's place. It was close to our daughter but also just a short walk to De Beauvoir Arms, a friendly pub with good food and patio, De Beauvoir Deli for coffee and pastries, and Sweet Thursday for pizza. The walk is short to Essex Road and major bus connections. The apartment is beautifully furnished and bigger than it looks in the photos. There's a real touch of luxury staying here, stylish furnishings, well equipped kitchen, tons of closet space and a gorgeous bathroom. And it was great having a private entrance to come and go directly. The location at the back entrance of the small apartment building might seem a bit unusual at first, but it's steps from the street and is safe, convenient, and very quiet. The flowers in the window box are a lovely touch. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.
