As a home base in London for a month, it certainly looked appealing in the photos. Maybe 350 square feet, bright blue furniture, a yellow accent wall, an efficiency kitchenette, and one bedroom with a king bed. The small living space of a fifth wheel is our usual domain, so from the photos we expected this apartment—excuse me, flat—would suit us just fine.

What Do Wetsuits, Kayaks, and Dinghys Have in Common? Wetsuits, kayaks, and dinghys all look great on Instagram. Swimming with the fish, paddling along a beautiful island coastline, buzzing among anchored boats in a quiet harbor—all things we wanted to do.
