I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Gail and her black and white cat. The room was cosy and clean. The bed soft and comfy. There was good coffee, muesli and fruit for breakfast. The location is very easy for getting around London, especially if you are walking and using public transportation. Not all cab drivers are familiar with the area and the apartment is on a narrow street. Once you are familiar with the area, its easy to direct them. Don't miss a visit to trendy Caravan or Grain Store just 5 minute walk from Gail's apartment in a newly renovated area on the way to the King's Cross and St Pancras station. It is an easy trip from Gatwick airport taking the train to St Pancras (not Gatwick express) where you arrive 10 minutes from Gail's house. Gail was very hospitable and willing to assist with anything. She even met me at the corner upon my arrival.
