My friend and I absolutely loved the apartment. It is very stylish and consisted of an open plan kitchen/living room, one bedroom, one bathroom and a balcony. The apartment in general was very clean and tidy which impressed us both.
One of our favourites was the bathroom which was spacious and bright. Rodrigo had also left us amenities such as soap and shower caps, like the ones found in hotels which was a very nice touch.
The kitchen was modestly furnished, including a microwave, cooker + oven. Although we did not actually use the kitchen to cook anything, it seemed like a nice area for cooking. Rodrigo had also kindly left us some breakfast ingredients in the fridge and there was coffee & tea available.
We were staying during one of the hotter weekends in London (around 30 degrees) so we were very grateful to Rodrigo for providing two fans (as one of us slept on the sofa bed). Both my friend and I were able to sleep thankfully even with the heat. In terms of sleeping space, the apartment should be able to house 3 adults comfortably as the double bed is pretty big.
Our favourite however was the balcony, the view is amazing even if overlooking the inside of the apartment complex. This is especially great during summer evenings as it is very peaceful and quiet.
The only complaint I have is the placement of the chest of drawers in the bedroom which caused me to smack my foot on the bed leg many times when going towards the window.
Otherwise the apartment is fantastic. Rodrigo was a very communicative and welcoming host, ensuring that we had everything we needed and checking up via messages to ensure we were comfortable. He also provided an information sheet with directions, phone numbers of taxi companies, trash & recycling instructions & contact information. The location of the apartment is around 5 minutes walk away from the nearest underground station and there are plenty of shops nearby for groceries (Tesco, Iceland) and food (Costa, Greggs, KFC, McDonalds and many local cafes). There is also a pharmacy relatively close (Boots) and clothing stores (Primark) along the main street.
Check in and out was smooth and painless with good flexibility as there was a 24 hour Concierge available down the street. This was quite important since we arrived at the apartment very late at night (10pm) and our flight home was also late evening so this allowed us to check out later.
Both of us loved it so much that the apartment would be our first choice of accommodation should we visit London again in future. Thank you to Rodrigo for allowing us to stay there and for being such a fantastic host, would 100% definitely recommend to friends!
