We stayed seven weeks in this flat and our experience was excellent. The flat is very centrally located in London, in Soho near Charing Cross Road. Soho is very lively, but the flat is on the fourth floor facing away from the street and is quiet. The flat is newly renovated with very tasteful decor and all modern appliances. Though small (as you'd expect in central London), the flat is very comfortable and well designed. There is a rooftop deck which adds more space as well as a light, open feel. There is a weekly cleaning service and Robert, the owner, was readily available when we had any questions. The WiFi worked very well, as did all the appliances. The flat is up four flights of stairs, without an elevator, which we quickly got used to, but might be an issue for some. The location in Soho is as central as you could want. We walked everywhere in central London (tube zones 1 and 2), for instance: 10 minutes to Trafalgar Square, five minutes to Oxford Street, 20 minutes to the South Bank, 20 minutes to Hyde Park, 30 minutes to Regent's Park. Soho itself is packed with restaurants, pubs and clubs. One issue, the flat is above restaurants and on the deck you can often smell cooking odors; small price to pay for a private rooftop deck in the middle of London. The view is to the north and you see the BT Tower. We had a really great stay in this flat and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to book it again if we get back to London.
