We stayed at Rachel’s apartment in late September for 11 nights and loved it.
Living in an apartment in Soho allows you to feel like local, which is a very valuable experience.
We always felt safe there, unlike some other places in Europe.
Though Soho is synonymous to the night life, Meard Street, where Rachel’s apartment is located, is relatively quiet, and a bedroom window is looking into the courtyard. We were never bothered by the street noise.
The apartment was on the first floor – two flights upstairs. The leaving room was large. It had a kitchen “in the cupboard”. The kitchen was a genius of space utilization. It was small, but extremely well planned, convenient, and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It even had ground coffee and a coffee jar for making Turkish coffee. 36 human skulls on the display over the fireplace looked intriguing – it would be interesting to know the history of that display.
The mattress and the pillows were good quality.
The closest metro station, Leicester square, is on a direct Piccadilly line to the Heathrow airport - quite convenient. The apartment is centrally located and within walking distance to anything you would want to see in central London.
Rachel responded to our emails very quickly, and we felt that if we had any issues, or needed an advice, she would be of much help.
London trip was one of our best trips, and Rachel’s apartment was one of the contributing factors.
