Chris is a very easy host to deal with. And his flat is very centrally located, in fact too centrally located for us in that it is right on Oxford Street. Located on the 2d floor (3d as we count in the US), it is quiet enough but only because the windows overlooking Oxford Street do not open, which means no cross ventilation. The apartment is on two levels, and requires two long flights to reach the first level. If stairs are not your thing, this is not your flat. The kitchen and bath are modern, though the bath is quite small. The biggest drawback to us is that for the cost, which I thought high, the beds, linens, and furniture were not terribly comfortable. Perhaps if you were sharing this flat among four or more friends, you would feel differently: lower cost per person with lower expectations. However, for us (a couple and our adult son), we could have stayed in a nice hotel and slept better.
