1st Impressions:
- Security: complex/apartment if fully fenced/gated, so very secure. Two keys provided and they look identical but one for gate and one for door to unit.
Lam's flat is on fourth floor and elevator was out of service during our stay, fortunately upon our arrival Lam was there to help us bring our luggage to his flat! Hopefully they got that elevator working!
Lam's Apt/Flat is in a borough of Elephant & Castle that is undergoing a nice upgrade. South of his unit is still the original older neighborhood but has allot of amenities (small restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, laundromats, banks etc.) many of which we visited frequently for supplies.
Lam's Apartment/flat has a very spacious living area on the 2nd floor with two bedrooms and 1 - 3/4 bath on the 1st - this worked out very well for our family!
Adjacent to the dining area there is a access door to a rooftop patio area with table and chairs which made for a nice crisp morning breakfast eating area.
Bedrooms:
Beds, lines and pillows were clean and comfortable.
Bathrooms:
Bath towels provided were very large and quite soft! No wash cloths.
Both bath basin faucets have individual spigots for hot & cold water, so if you want warm need to plug basin and fill with both.
Hot water was very hot and consistent.
3/4 bath has a nice lighting ring around the vanity mirror but it cannot be turned off, so need to close bath door otherwise you will have a nice bright night light!
Also, Lam uses IKEA color adjusting and dimmable lighting in living room and in one bedroom which makes for a nice accent and mood adjusting lighting.
Overall, Lam's place was a very nice find, he is a great host and very responsive to our inquiries.
