Apartment was 10 mins walk from Victoria station, where the Gatwick express travels to -30 mins from Gatwick airport.

Handy being able to self-check in to the apartment at a time convenient to us. We spent one night in a different apartment in the building, and Alessandro was kind enough to move our luggage for us.

Apartment is clean but small, but not a problem as we were only there to sleep. We spent one night in apartment 13, and this apartment 15 was smaller (but cheaper).

We walked to Buckingham Palace easily, and also walked to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, London Eye.

The bathroom and toilet was always clean. However, we had to wait (past 1am) for the other guests on our floor to finish using them. Not Alessandro's fault, but annoying. We could also hear every time they opened, shut and locked their door.

Breakfast and drinks, maps and a power adaptor were left in the apartment for us to use, which was really handy.

We took a £30 taxi from the apartment to Heathrow airport with justairports. Even cheaper than catching the train!
