This was a small, but lovely apartment in a very good location for visiting London, just off the tourist area but still in the center of the action and easy to get to everywhere. It was easy to pop out to the Tesco (I ran there in the rain one morning without an umbrella--it was just a few steps away from the building door) and the ATM. There were restaurants and takeout just a few steps in the other direction as well as more eating and drinking places in the neighborhood. The apartment was very quiet and efficient and seemed quite safe. The hallway was well-lit, the very sturdy apartment and building doors had good, modern locks. We left every day for our adventures with no worries. We were there for a month and didn't hear any noise from outside or other residents or even the nearby elevator. It was a bit larger than the photos make it look. The bathroom was quite spacious for an apartment, and the shower was very nice, with an adjustable nozzle and separate hot/cold and on/off controls, so we weren't blasted by hot or cold water while just trying to turn the shower on or off. We were there in March but didn't need to use the heater at all. There was a nice TV for those rainy nights that we didn't feel like venturing out, and the internet connection (wifi) was very fast and quite reliable. No one was there when we checked in our out, but Louise was able to answer any of our questions promptly. We had a wonderful visit.
