We are a family of 4 (2 adults, one child and one baby) who stayed in the apartment for 17 days during the summer.
The location truly is amazing. I’m not sure you can get better in London for that price. The beautiful Kensington Gardens and all it has to offer, especially for children, is just 3 min walk away. Bus routes are also easily accessible for further trips.
The apartment has beautiful character with high ceilings and large windows that let lots of light in.
But I’ve had to conclude that the apartment is not suitable for a family/4 people (as advertised) for such a long stay. When 4 people and their luggage are staying there, it leaves just a couple of meters room to move around. There are pro’s and cons in terms of amenities, beyond the obvious. Pro’s: camping cot, washing machine and drying rack, a good non-stick pan. Cons: no teaspoons, only 2 cereal bowls, no oven-proof dish, no countertop space to prepare meals. The kitchen and bathroom really need some attention in terms of renovation.
During our stay we only had hot water for about 2 days - at other times the water was lukewarm at best. I had to boil water to bath the children, and would get out of the shower cold. Thankfully it wasn’t winter.
The wifi was also very unreliable. The connection kept dropping, necessitating my husband to work from the office instead.
I’ve brought these things to Etsh’s attention, hopefully he will investigate and correct the problems.
