We have just spent a glorious 4 weeks in London based in Alex’s flat.
The location is perfect, so handy for the Strand, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Embankment and South Bank.
The building is wonderful and stylish and the flat is on the top floor. There is a lift but generally we got healthy walking up the curvy stairs.
The flat itself is very stylish and as it is on the top floor it has sole access to the roof garden. In the summer this will be a fun asset, in the winter nice to show off the view of the London Eye to guests before rapidly retreating to the warm!
The flat is well appointed however as reported by other reviewers, there are some frustrations; the electric shower is very weak and difficult to set to the right temperature, there are no instructions for the appliances some of which are not very intuitive to operate especially the microwave, and there needs to be more items such as tin opener, frying pans for the induction hob, floor mop, vacuum cleaner etc.
Having said all that, we had a fabulous time. Alex is great, made check in and out very easy, showed us around one of the other flats (very nice), and immediately came to the rescue when the main ‘fuse’ went.
Overall a wonderful time in a wonderful city!! K&H
