I left Donella’s incredible flat this morning, against my will because I WANTED TO STAY FOREVER! Honestly, I felt like the luckiest person in the world to spend wonderful nights.
So many good things - to start, Donella is a fantastic host. She replies almost instantly and helpfully answers every question.
The location of this flat is AMAZING! It’s just a few blocks from fabulous shopping, hundreds of restaurants and cafes, and an easy bus or Tube ride to anyplace in London because of its location equidistant from several different Tube lines and buses. We traveled easily from the theatre district, Waterloo Station, Paddington to RegentSteet/Piccadilly/Trafalgar Sq. and even up to the new Spurs Stadium. Super easy location.
I also loved that it was a ground flor flat. No steps to climb at all.
The flat is ELEGANT. It’s beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with calming/classy colors and furniture.
The kitchen is small but perfect. Donella generously provided welcoming drinks/tea/coffee as well as cooking essentials like olive oil and condiments which as a pain to buy for a short visit. Very nice dishes, etc with a dishwasher and electric kettle. Roomy fridge/freezer.
The bed is so comfy with really lovely linens and bath towels. Amazing shower. Lovely bathroom with natural light. Heated towel rack. Washer/dryer. For a smallish flat - great storage - both drawers and hanging space. Nice iron and board and excellent blow dryer with a diffuser!!!
Oh, I guess I have to mention how nice it was to have an Alexa speaker. I missed TV at first because I LOVE British television, but I got used to listening to Radio 2. Nice to get weather and traffic details, too.
Great pub across the street. A tiny bit noisy, but the flat cleverly has a pocket door to the bedroom that cuts noise.
Anyway, I hope to stay there on every visit. It’s a marvelous choice!
