The house was exactly what we expected (nice, warm, cozy and quiet) and Francesco has been a nice host. The last day we left for the airport at 17.00 and we could also leave our baggages at home till that time. St. James is a wonderful area very central and close to main shopping streets (from Piccadilly to Regent, Oxford and Bond Street but also Soho and Covent Garden). We have been walking all the time.. it was just like being in the heart of the city... Victoria Line is just 7 minutes walk but we did not need it ! Excellent location.
