My stay in this beautiful art gallery flat helped make my first trip to London absolutely perfect. The neighborhood offers so much to explore on foot- street art, restaurants, bars, markets, shops. The views of the city from the flat are incredible, even on a cloudy or rainy day. The flat was very clean, which made me feel comfortable in the space. Claire provided coffee and tea, basic bathroom toiletries, hairdryers and straighteners (very important to me because I discovered my hairdryer and straightener from the U.S. were too high voltage to be used in Europe), extra towels, extra pillows, and extra blankets. Claire's stunning paintings are displayed all over the flat, and really gave me the feeling that I was staying in the most beautiful art gallery. As Claire is often working in New York, I was so lucky that she happened to be in London at the time of my stay. She showed me around the neighborhood, gave me tips, and made me feel even more comfortable in the flat.
I struggled a bit with the instructions on how to get into the flat, and did not receive the lock box code before arriving. I should have been more proactive in making sure I had a clear understanding of the check in process prior to my arrival. I called Rita, who takes care of the flat, and she was very helpful. Rita rushed to the flat as quickly as she could and let me in and helped me settle in comfortably.
I would highly recommend staying in this flat for a most lovely London experience.
