This location is literally perfect for anyone looking to stay close to central London with great access to lots of stores, cafes, restaurants, and a station within 5 minutes of walking.
Keep in mind you have to go quite far (about 10 minute walk) to get your keys, so grabbing a taxi can be a bit weird and you need to cart your luggage back and forth before you get in. If I could give some advice, a combination lock on-site could be a better solution than being kept in a newsagent.
The stay itself is good — but there were some issues. The bed was big, and there’s a nice little outside area, but the bed itself didn’t have fitted sheets or mattress cover, so we had the problem of lying directly on the mattress occasionally which had little hard bumps all over it. The quilt itself didn’t have a cover either, which was pretty unwelcoming since it had a few browning sweat stains on it.
Our shower also wouldn’t get hot. Id say lukewarm at best. Despite this the whole apartment could get a little stuffy after a shower, although this could be alleviated with fans and open windows. This can also lead to mould so I’d advise some better ventilation if possible though this might be hard for a basement.
Aside from this, the stay was really good. You get nice lighting in the morning and afternoon from the bedroom, and the fact you’re right in the middle of South Kensington is a great location for the price. This place is an incredibly expensive area to live in. That alone means that I would stay here again. I just wish some more care was taken on some aspects of the stay itself.
