David's apartment was in an excellent location: VERY close to the center of town, but on a quiet street without a lot of noise. We were able to walk pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. We did take a cab to and from the airport, which was super reasonable (less than 20 pounds), although there is a public bus.
The apartment itself had everything we needed, and David left thoughtful snacks as well as some games and coloring books for our toddler. It was a family-friendly apartment (but it was a few flights up, which David warned us about before we booked! Easy for us to manage but we used the carrier and not the stroller.)
