A hidden gem!
This was our first AirBnB experience and it was an excellent one. I can only echo previous reviews here. Zheng was a fantastic host who kept us informed and up to date throughout, even offering to collect us from the station/airport if we needed. I think someone else said ‘attentive but not intrusive’ and that’s a perfect description of our experience. I felt very confident in being able to contact Zheng and receiving a quick and helpful response.
The location of the apartment is perfect, on a quiet little street in a quiet little building in the heart of Westminster. The flat itself is up a few flights of stairs at the top of the building. It’s just wonderful, a duplex with a single and double bedroom together with bathroom/wc on the ‘first’ floor, and an open plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the ‘second’. It’s bright and airy, and as fresh and clean as a whistle, something that’s very important to me for health reasons. Everything is provided for you including cooking utensils, cups, plates, dishes, cutlery, linen, towels, soaps, shower gels, shampoo, cleaning products, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, vaccuum etc. The shower products were thankfully received as we’d forgotten a couple of things!
There are plenty of shops nearby and all the main Westminster sights are 5-10 minutes walk away, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Cathedral. There are some quiet local pubs in the area where you can get a nice meal at a reasonable price, and lots of architectural delights for those, like me, who appreciate them.
All in all a wonderful and very comfortable stay and one which we hope to repeat sooner rather than later. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Zheng and this wonderful apartment for a great London break.
