John's flat/apartment has moved to the top of our Airbnb request list for London! The location is to die for in Westminster, minutes walk from St. Jame's Park and Buckingham Palace, Tate Britain, Pimlico Tube stop, theatre district, fantastic restaurants and more. John's hospitality was unmatched, including prompt responses to all our queries. For example, at our request, he emailed a list of recommended restaurants in advance so that we could make dinner reservations. The flat/apartment itself is in an extremely safe, upscale neighborhood in a gated, quiet courtyard. John lives in the courtyard as well, and met us at check-in and was available during our stay. The flat is a perfect size, and given we were visiting from Southern California during London's January winter, provided a very warm and cozy home base. As for restaurants within walking distance, we recommend 2 Amici for Italian as well as Cypress Mangal for Turkish/vegetarian.
