When it comes to location, this property is unbeatable. If you are looking to explore Soho and Covent Garden, this is the place to be. There is also a tube station 2 minutes walking distance so access to the airport and remainder of the city is easy. There are lots of bars and clubs on the same street as the apartment, and a Nando’s just around the corner!
Keep in mind that because this apartment is in the heart of Soho, it gets LOUD! David left us earplugs, but it wasn’t enough to block out the sounds of people throwing glassware into the garbage at 5am after all the bars and clubs closed. None of us were able to get restful sleep during our stay. I would definitely recommend bringing an eye mask if you are bothered by light as the apartment gets a lot of that too even with the blinds being drawn.
Also bear in mind that this apartment is on the 3rd floor of an older building, so there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow and uneven! My friends and I were traveling Europe for 3 weeks and had large suitcases with us, and we had a lot of trouble bringing our bags up and down.
The host David was very responsive, thoughtful and helpful. The hot water in the bath wasn’t working properly and he immediately sent someone over to check on it for us. He is clearly a professional and knows how to make his guests feel welcome.
