This cozy flat is a home away from home; carefully designed and appointed, beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and secure. The amenities I most appreciated were the underfloor heating in kitchen and bath, the heated towel rail, comfy bed, miniaturized (only to those who haven’t lived in NY) but fully equipped and functional kitchen, and the building security (double locked entry, for women traveling alone). The flat is convenient to transport (tube and buses), a short walk to many landmarks and attractions, central to shopping, an excellent array of restaurants, handy local groceries (Sainsbury and M&S) and entertainment. It’s location is ideal. John, the resident caretaker, will look after you, offering help with suitcases, directions, the best local pubs, as well as stories of famous residents past! The Ivy Team were friendly, professional and responsive. Queries were answered promptly, instructions were always clear. They obviously took very good care of the property, and of me during my stay there.
I’m renowned for my unfortunate timing, and this was no different. Building works were brought forward, the entire building was plastic wrapped, builders were on-site from 7am every day except Sunday. I’ve never met a quiet builder, and I still haven’t. However, when they are done the property will be even more appealing than it is already.
