It was our first visit to London. Our stay at Lisa’s apartment was very pleasant and comfortable. It was easy to communicate with Lisa before arrival and during our stay. She provided all necessary instructions before we came and later in the apartment was a folder with all necessary information: household questions, food store locations, etc..
When I started looking for an accommodation in London I wanted to find a place located conveniently close to an underground station and London’s main tourist attractions; place where our family of four (son 15 and daughter 13) can comfortably sleep, can have breakfast; an accommodation for the price that fits our budget.
Lisa’s apartment satisfied all these conditions and had much more!
Three separate rooms, rather spacious, two rooms facing backyard were very quiet and one facing city street had city sounds, but not bad considering traffic passing by, all beds were comfortable, nice shower and a toilet, fully equipped kitchen, laundry machine and laundry drier, WiFi and TV. The apartment had been renovated, very clean with tasteful design. Its location is excellent: fifteen steps to Borough underground statin, 5 min to a grocery store, 10 min to London Bridge. Waking distance to the Tower, the Shakespeare Globe, Shard skyscraper. It felt safe on the streets outside the apartment. We usually returned around 10 and 11pm and it felt safe, although later at night there were loud people. Well it is a city…
Our vocation to London was a success. We managed to experience a lot of London’s culture, architecture, history and we interacted with many polite and nice people. We could do it with full capacity because we had a very comfortable accommodation to rest, eat and make plans.
