The apartment was a quiet oasis in an otherwise busy city! It is located in a neighborhood which is principally local residents. The building itself was quiet. The apartment is extremely well appointed and we loved the professional style gas stove which we took advantage of! Note that the Holborn tube station has construction that blocks street access weekdays 7 - 10 am so use Russell Square. Lee was excellent in helping with our arrangements including tips on travel to Oxford for the day.
