The best part about Gary's place is that it is just a short 5 to 10 minutes walk from the Thames and most of the iconic London attractions are just beyond that. Yet, it is nestled in a quiet but safe residential area. The apartment is very clean, well-kept and modern. Gary is a fantastic host. He met us when we arrived and gave us a warm welcome and a comprehensive walkthrough of the apartment and our room. He was ever helpful and gave lots of tips and advice about London's attractions and transport.
