You’ll love being at Catherine’s place. A warm, cozy place with the best bed and pillows, ever! Navigating from the airport will take some time but once you’re settled, it will quickly become a home away from home. Catherine has thought of everything—from USB ports in the walls to a notebook full of restaurant suggestions to a kitchenette with fresh fruit, homemade baked goods, and assorted teas. So lovely.
Things to note:
1) rooms are on third floor at the top of a winding staircase. Catherine is superwoman and helped carry my enormous suitcase up and down. If/when possible, it’s easier to navigate public transport and the stairs with smaller suitcases
2) if you have opportunity to see the Changing of the Guard, I recommend it. I enjoyed it. If there are several in your party, consider strategic placement so you can share pics/videos afterwards. I suggest one facing into the palace courtyard bc 25 minutes of the ceremony takes place in the courtyard; another on the fountain side, facing the palace directly in front of the gate; and another on the palace side facing the fountain, right in front of the red ropes.
