Upon arrival, Russell greeted us with open arms and was very accommodating. He was able to work with our schedule to meet earlier than check in time so we did not have to carry out luggage around the town.
The pictures described the town and apartment perfectly. It was a cozy area where we felt right at home. We met some of the neighbors and restaurant owners who were welcoming and even provided us with tidbits about the town. They guided us towards hidden gems that made our experience that much greater.
The tube station was located two blocks always which made it ideal to travel. Across the street from the flat is a small store to pick up last minute food or beverages. The supermarket is one building down from the flat and is open until 11. All the shops, pubs, and restaurants were only a few minutes away. Around the corner is a great farm to table restaurant called Niche that has a little bit for everyone. Across the way is a vegetarian place which was surprisingly delicious! Just up the road are more pubs and restaurants.
