Barry's place is perfect. It was my first time in London and I found the location of the apartment well-suited for visiting London sites and for catching trains to outlying areas. It is close to so many theatres - I saw four shows and all theatres were within a 5-7 minute walk from the apartment. I traveled alone and always felt very safe. The Covent Garden area is a lively place and although I could hear street noise in the living room area and bathroom, the bedroom was very quiet and I had a lovely night's sleep. I appreciated all of the amenities, specifically the soft sheets, the wardrobe and chests of drawers that provided plenty of space for storing my luggage and clothes, and the many outlets available throughout the apartment. I highly recommend the apartment and hosts. I will be forever grateful for the chance to stay here and enjoy London.
