Simon's place is perfectly situated (the bus on Clerkenwell Road got me to the National Theatre in 20 minutes) and wonderfully-well appointed. Clerkenwell is a fascinating area , although sadly I didn't have enough time to explore. The flat itself is 'cool' (my teenage daughter's review from a Skype call) and has everything you'll need for great stay. There are a bunch of good eateries in the square outside. Simon was a considerate host, always quick to respond to requests and flexible about arrival and departure procedures. I definitely recommend his place and have promised to bring my wife next time ( I was at a conference)--maybe even our daughter.
