If you're looking for a great location walking distance to all of London's best neighborhoods and attractions, yet still tucked away in a quiet building, this is a great place to be. We specifically noted how quiet the place was until construction started in the building on our second day in. Of course that was not the host's fault, but it was quite loud and bothersome for us. It would have been nice to know that this construction was going to happen during our stay so that we could have had the option of finding another place. The courtyard was nice, especially to open the doors and air out the apartment, which is small and stuffy. The apartment was functional, but overall felt run down (broken tiles, peeling paint, broken fixtures in the bathroom, and felt more like a college kid's bachelor pad.) The bed is extra, extra firm and pillows old and lumpy. This was by far the worst bed we have ever slept in. We reached out to the host to see if he had anything we could use to add extra cushioning, but his reply was simply "no," and no attempt to help rectify our poor sleep situation. Overall, the great location would not be enough for us to stay here again.
