We stayed 2 weeks at Emily’s and we felt very comfortable and at home there. The rooms are spacious enough to not feel cramped and the large glass window with balcony is a real bonus as you can let the fresh air in, sit outside for a wine and watch the sun go down. Having a porter based downstairs in the lobby 24/7 ensures security and a good chat each time we came or went. The lift is handy and a decent size. My husband is in a wheelchair and part time uses a walking frame and the flat worked well for this. The only thing is there’s a bath without walk in shower but we hired a bath step with a rail so we could help him in and then shower him standing with the hand held shower head. There’s also a rail on the wall above the bath. Emily kindly allowed the delivered hire equipment needed for my husband to be stored downstairs with the porter just prior to our arrival and when we left. Emily’s communication was excellent and she kept in touch with little messages now and then...always helping, giving suggestions and making certain we were settling in ok.
The washing machine was a real bonus and the bar/restaurant down by the front of Parkgate Road has wonderful pizza and 2 for 1 cocktails from 5-7pm. Bailey and Stone is also a lovely small supermarket on Parkgate although quite pricey, it has beautiful fresh produce so worth spoiling yourself while holidaying!
In general the flat and whole apartment block is very quiet and in a nice, safe, tucked away position, yet close to the beautiful Albert Bridge, Battersea Park, Chelsea, The Kings Road and 2 bus stops nearer to the Battersea Bridge end of Parkgate.
A wonderful holiday in a very lovely part of London.
