The flat is very well designed and has everything one needs. Lin has an excellent eye for design and she clearly cares about things looking good. So much so that the sofa and chair have protective coverings -- not as nice looking as the upholstery they cover. The view out of the windows on to the garden and buildings beyond is appealing. One quickly adjusts to the sound of the underground trains. The flat is very well located in relation to transport and good pubs and cafes. We loved The Elgin and the Quince Tree cafe.
