We rented this apartment from Lakshmi for a week in May 2016. I had to book on a very short notice because having trouble with another apartment. This was no problem for Lakshmi, our whole contact was swift with all the information needed. Many thanks for the help and support :-)

The apartment is situated in the neighbourhood of Holborn between Clerkweel and Fitzrovia. It was very important for us to stay in the vicinity of the British Museum which is just a 10 min walk away.

The underground station Holborn is the closest hub just a few minutes to walk from the apartment. From here you can discover the city using the Central and the Piccadilly line. You have direct access to Heathrow airport, connection to Stansted Airport through Liverpool Street Station and to London City Airport through Banks. You can reach each major attraction with one change. Holborn is also a hub for buses and has two urban-size supermarkets (little Waitrose, local Sainsbury).

The apartment is located in the 4th floor of a properly maintained building. The stairs are a little bit steep and tight; persons who are physically impeded or handicapped should think about another option. But otherwise: the apartment is totally worth it; everything was clean and neat. There is a fully-fledged kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, fridge etc. The beds in the two bedrooms are proper sized for two adults (not just twin size). There is ample wardrobe space. The apartment is outfitted with a large comfy couch and a folding dining table. And yes, the photo you see are real!

I want to give the receptionist a shout-out, many thanks to them, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the apartment. We felt very welcome and our stay there was like feeling at home.

Around Holborn are lot’s of options for dining or hanging out. I recommend Cooper’s Restaurant (British cuisine), Prince of Wales Pub (at Drury Lan), Princess Louise Pub and most of all Bea’s Cake Boutique which is in the same building as the apartments. Their croissants for breakfast are well worth the climb and they offer a top-notch afternoon tea for which they are listed in the Top10!!

I would rent this apartment anytime again
