Great Central London stay

The overall stay was good; the television reception needs improving - channels were scrambling all the time. The location was greet; near 3 major tubes that connected to all major lines; bus transportation was right out the door and the area was hospitable and inviting. Close to a variety of eating establishment, and the neighborhood was walkable.
