Hi,
My husband and I will be taking the RS London tour (December 26th - January 1st and staying in the Mayfair neighborhood). We are going early and spending Christmas there too. We are having a hard time deciding on where to stay for the first part of our trip. Due to the holiday, we are trying to find a place with an oven and hopefully a washer and dryer. We are currently looking at a few AirBnB's in Chelsea, Bloomsbury, and Pimlico. We are also looking at the Go Native Monument hotel based on a recommendation I found here. We don't mind being a bit outside of the "touristy" areas, as long as there's public transportation near by. We do like to be in an area that has a restaurant, bakery/grocery, or a pub near by. With the neighborhoods I listed above, do you have a recommendation? Or is there another area in London we are missing? I know I did not list a lot of our likes/things we want to see, but that is due to us taking the tour. Thank you for your help!
Mollie
