The flat was fantastic! Ideal for our family of four; our two kids, aged 6 and 3 shared a room.

The location was unique and a very short walk to three tube lines, many buses and multiple "express" grocery stores. Regent's Park the British Museum, and The London Zoo were also in walking distance. I loved running the canals in the morning. Oh, and there were some lovely pubs and restaurants around the corner.

The flat itself was marvelous: so many books, such fine art and lovely antiques; The photos are accurate, but undersell the total package. And somehow, it felt comfortable and cozy.

Ophelia herself was great -- and very accommodating. She was waiting for us in the flat when we arrived (a little late, with no phone to let her know) and during our long stay it was easy to contact her a few times. She even connected us with a fantastic babysitter when we inquired. That should show that we found her easy to trust, and appreciated her recommendations.

The things we would have changed are few: The shower set-up worked, but was a little awkward, and we were warned there wasn't an abundance of hot water, so we managed that carefully. (I've found that decent showers aren't common in English homes.)

I would highly recommend both Ophelia and her lovely flat. We made it our home for a month and we now miss it quite a bit.
