Hasan's place is near the airport. You can take a free bus from the airport, getting you about 1 block from his apartment. (That will be the last free thing you see in England!!). We like using public transportation and from the airport, you've got trains, underground and busses going everywhere. Hasan can book you a taxi from his family business. We used our brief time to go see Windsor Castle. 50 pounds round trip. You can go cheaper via uber or underground/bus, but we were on a very tight schedule and being able to count on a ride at a specific time was great. The apt was very clean. There was a smell of cigarettes from the trash can and bed near the kitchen. We are non smokers, so are very sensitive for that. The upstairs bed/bath were super nice. My husband, a light sleeper, was bothered by early morning planes. I can sleep through anything and did not notice a thing. But if you are a light sleeper, sleeping near an airport is probably not a good idea! Nearby fish and chips were great. Chinese restaurant looked good to. Safe neighborhood. Hasan is a great communicator, replying to texts promptly, even late at night. A 5-star host.
