The place was immaculate and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The location is a great one for walking to Pimlico, Chelsea, Battersea, Sloane Square, the Tate Britain and even Buckingham Palace. The windows do face onto an active rail yard and you can hear trains passing through the switches. We were aware of this when we rented the place and found that we were not bothered by the sounds at all. We had no trouble sleeping through the night and even enjoyed watching the activity from the balcony.
