It was a pleasure to stay with Peter and Melanie. They are lovely hosts. The apartment is in a central location. We got in from Gatwick airport, and it was very easy to get to the apartment with the train and only a few minutes walking. We were able to walk to Oxford street in around 25 minutes, and there were many buses that would take you anywhere around London that departed near the apartment constantly. There is no living room, but the room is very large so that was not a problem at all. Restaurants, grocery store, and everything you need is within seconds walking from the apartment. Recommended!
