Great central location with Tube & buses very near. Neighborhood felt safe. Noisy but not unexpected as it's on a main road. Access to the outside terrace is by stepping up and climbing through the bedroom window. There was a coffee table bolted to the floor to accomplish this. You are above the restaurant so hear voices but all went quiet by 11 pm. The bedroom window faces the back and is double glazed so it's quieter. The flat was clean. The entry hall and stairs are not clean. The hall had 2 or 3 bicycles in it to edge past. There is a flight of narrow stairs to climb to the flat. The shower has a rain shower head so you can't get your head out of the way. The hand held shower attachment is missing. One side of the shower door is difficult to close but can be lifted into place. Sheets, duvet, pillows, towels were good quality and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen minimally equipped but was adequate for the minimal cooking we did. The washing machine worked fine for me. Big fridge freezer. We went to the Saturday market across the street in the churchyard and recommend it for great baked goods, fresh pasta, fruit & veg, and prepared foods. There are 2 or 3 small grocery stores nearby and a big Tesco a short walk away.
Our stay was fine and although we didn't need to contact anyone, they did check in with us when we arrived.
