Fabrine’s apartment is in an ideal location - walking distance to shops, restaurants, post office, Buckingham Palace and a 3 minute walk to Victoria Underground station which is literally across the street. Place is safe and clean and decently furnished. Fabrine and her team were helpful and responded to messages quickly. Check in and check out process was easy.
Things to consider:
1. There’s no lift/elevator in the building. Consider this especially if you have luggage - the stairway is narrow and you’re on your own lugging up/down your bags. This will be a real issue if you have mobility issues or can’t carry much weight.
2. Walls and floors are super thin. You’ll hear everyone and everything creeping, talking, moving from below and above. Rumblings from the trains are constant but more of vibrations vs. loud sounds. Bring earplugs or noise-canceling headphones especially if you are a light sleeper.
3. Mattress in apartment 4 is rather thin and can get uncomfortable after a few hours of sleeping. Consider this if you are a heavy-set person or one with back problems.
Overall, I would stay here again only because I was able to bring my own luggage pieces and bags up and down the steps and managed to sleep an average of 6 hours despite the thin mattress and noises from other guests.
