We have narrowed down our list of flats to rent this fall from 42 to 4... each within our price range (though they vary greatly), but simply cannot decide on where we want to be.
One is in Notting Hill: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19664981?s=51
One is in South Kensington: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19600134?s=51
One is in in Marylebone/Fitzrovia (I am not sure of the exact location): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20004091?s=51
As an outlier, I fell in love with this little place, but the other half things it's too far away from the sites of the city. Any feedback on staying here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4712206?s=51
We are planning on doing much of typical touristy things, The British Museum, The Tate Modern, Tower of London, Kensington Gardens, Parliament, etc., with day trips outside of London so we will not be centered much in one specific area. We are late 30s and not night-owls or party animals... we are typically in bed by 11 or so unless we have a specific activity (theater, etc) that keeps us out later. We much prefer to get up and going in the morning rather than staying out late. We'd like to be in an area with enough to do nearby (cafes, shops, etc) for those mornings when we want a lazy start.
I appreciate any and all advice!
