Convenient location, easy to find

Jeremi 8.0

This was my first experience coming to the UK from the United States. I did not know what to expect. We loved the location and walked to almost every iconic sight in just one day. It is close to the tube and easy to get around. The location is very charming. The rooms were small but they met our needs.
