Location, location, location ! Excellently located apartment, close (walking distance) to the centre of London, The City, but also to the exciting, trendy neighbourhoods which have developed over the last years (Hoxton, Shoreditch, Sothwark). And dead centre in one of those neighbourhoods itself, Clerckenwell, with loads of neat restaurants and Pubs (very, even on the square below the apartment) and Smithfield Market nearby. 3 minutes leisurely walk to Farringdon under- and over ground railway station, Boris bikes within a minute. The apartment not too big and is nicely decorated and well equipped, great espresso machine, nice kitchen for cooking. Very comfy double bed in a nog too big bedroom, with plenty storage facilities (wardrobe and chest of drawers) for the guest(s). Nice bathroom for exclusive use of the guest(s). The host, Simon, has his own bed- and bathroom. You share the living room and open kitchen with him. Simon is very friendly, helpful and (as) respectful of your privacy (as the limited space of the apartment allows). Two caveats: if you are sensitive to city- and street noise, bring your ear plugs; the apartment is on Clerckenwell street, which is fairly busy and noisy even at early/late hours. And is oriented to the south, which allows you to catch some rays on the small balcony (with nice flowers and plants), but which makes the apartment fairly warm in summer. There are big fans on all ceilings and good Luxaflex shutters on all windows which do help against the sun/heat.
