The flat was cute but there are some things that I wish I had known before I booked.
1. The bed is an IKEA Slat bed that is 6in off the floor (when you lay on the bed and your arm hangs down your elbow can touch the floor) this is ok for some but when you get out of bed you are rising from basically a crouch position. Some of the slates apparently are broken as they were duct taped and popped out so we had to pop them back in.
2. She provides chairs in the room but they are barstool style that are tiny and not very comfortable.
3. There is no place else to sit in the apartment.
4. The bathroom tub is a huge step to climb in and out of and the bathroom is quite small.
5. There is a lift to the apartment
6. It is right next to the Tate museum, the Millennium Bridge and the Shakespeare theatre
7. The hostess will not give you any recommendations for the area she responds with “everything here really is good so any where you go will be good” so seek your own inside scoops.
8. The flat owner is a night owl- and makes a cup of tea at 2am and eats sunflower seeds so if you are a light sleeper consider this- I’m a night owl
9. You must cross a bridge to get to any of the main attractions. Or hope on hope off locations
10. Round trip cab rides arranged in advance run you about 100p total
11. The southwark tube station is a Little closer and don’t have to cross a bridge to get to.
Over all we had booked this for two days before we headed to Scotland and then again for the two days after Scotland and we found it so uncomfortable and awkward to stay there that we booked a travelodge for a bit cheaper right on Drury Lane in the middle of everything we wanted to do. Isabella is a sweet woman but it was difficult to stay in a place where you worry you are disturbing someone’s rest, worry about the bed and have no place to sit and just relax.
