Arune’s place was an unexpectedly great place to stay. With kids we felt that it would be more convenient than a hotel and we were absolutely right. Best thing was having a lift for the pram. Arune supplies a travel cot at £10 a night which was worth it when travelling by train and a parking permit can also be obtained for the roads nearby. There is no living room which we knew but I don’t think we had appreciated that there is a lovely balcony with a view overlooking the shard. We managed to fit 4 people on the balcony at a squash to save having to sit in a bedroom. The kitchen is rather small and wouldn’t be good for an entertainment space. A close distance to southbank and borough market although not very much in the way of nightlife or pubs and restaurants within walking distance which was a shame with the kids. Got a bit problematic. But other than this couldn’t fault the stay and would come again.
