We had a wonderful stay at Paul’s apartment in London. Paul was helpful and communicative prior to arrival, with recommendations on the best way to get to his place from the airport. He met us to give us the keys and show us around, was very kind and friendly and responded quickly to our couple questions during our stay.
We loved the location so close to Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. We walked there the first day. There were several nice restaurants and a pub, The Rose, a couple minute walk away and a tiny grocery for picking up drinks and snacks. Staff at both places we tried were lovely and welcoming.
Don’t let the proximity to the train put you off. We thought it might bother us, but like other guests have said, it didn’t at all and we didn’t even use earplugs.
Really enjoyed our stay.
