Mike was a very gracious host. He waited a couple of hours to greet us and made us feel welcome. He responded promptly to our communication. The location is without doubt excellent. The apartment presents well. I can't comment on value as I'm not familiar with central London prices. During our stay Mike had quite a lot of gear packed into most of the cupboards and the passageway. Not a big problem if you're only staying for a couple of nights. We had a very nice stay here and loved the area.
