We loved the location of Fariba's apartment, about a six minute walk through beautiful, leafy St. John's Wood to the Underground's Jubilee line. A very short walk to Regent's park in one direction and the high street in another, which was filled with wonderful cafes, a gelato shop, a Tesco Express, and great coffee everywhere.
The ground floor apartment was very clean. It was well furnished, including the kitchen with real knives, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. The inside of the apartment seems to have been recently remodeled. Nice cabinets in the kitchen, the bathroom was very modern. Good water pressure in the shower. Wi-Fi was extremely fast and reliable.
The windows of the apartment were very old and single paned, allowing considerable street noise from passing cars and folks leaving the pubs up the street at midnight on Friday and Saturday night. Noise from the upstairs apartment was also pronounced. We were out and about to see London, though, so we didn't mind the morning noise from other other apartments.
A wonderful location and a very kind host. Really good value for money for the location and compared with a hotel.
