The apartment, unfortunately, did not work for us due to lack of soundproof, while located in ca. 100m from the train station, lack of care from the hosts and unexpected construction works in the front yard, which is very frustrating, when you travel to London for vacations and are not aware of it prior to arrival (Andrea called it an “emergency” work, they did not expect, but did not agree on any discount due to this unsatisfying fact).
The apartment itself does look like in the ad. We liked the interior decor, big windows (it could be nice views, if any of the front or back yards were in order. Unfortunately, they were not) and ceramic dishes. However, it is completely not soundproofed. The detergent tray of the washing machine was never cleaned up.
The house is located in 100 m from the train station (you’d better check it up on the map). The windows were not changed into PVC, and you cannot protect yourself from the sounds. From the bedroom you will hear scratching of the trains braking ( like metal on the glass), while approaching the station, until ca. 2 am and than at 5 am. There are also airplanes throughout the day, but this is a minor issue.
The apartment is located on the ground floor right under the stairs. And in the morning and evening you will hear all the neighbors going up and down the stairs.
On a separate note, we traveled with two teens, who meant to sleep on the mezzanine. For the one, sleeping next to the stairs, leading up to the mezzanine, we had to invent some protection border, because the open “hole” is wide enough not to protect from falling down at night.
We had to cancel after two nights there and moved to the lovely and extremely quiet 3-star hotel next to London Bridge metro station, with breakfast and bathtub, at the lower price than this apartment.
In net, you can enjoy it, if you do not care about sounds and do not plan for London sightseeing. But I would recommend to negotiate the price down by at least 50% from current 153 pounds per night for three people plus 38 pounds for cleaning.
