Ian’s place is marvellous. A hidden gem in the heart of London that will make you wonder if you haven’t just joined the Royal family.
You couldn’t get a better location, his flat is right in front of Charing Cross station and a very short walk to Embankment, Covent Garden are is a few minutes walk away. The check-in and check-out process is very easy as Ian has remote control of the building’s entrance. Everything in the house is brand new and high tech, by the way. Electronic blinds in the room, air conditioning system, bathroom’s lights have a sensor which makes your night trips to the loo so much easier! I mean, if you ever dare to leave the comfy bed and great pillows to go to the loo in the middle of the night, of course. The decoration is outstanding and I have to agree with one of the other guests review, it makes you feel like you’re in a movie or aspirational decoration magazine. This place is not only beautiful but spotless clean and quiet, you forget you’re in the middle of zone 1 in London.
Ian left me some lovely tea cakes in the room (try them!), so welcoming, what a nice touch! There was also a summary of the house rules (try those too! Seems to be a forgotten thing nowadays) where he mentions how good communication is valued. It is indeed, Ian replied to all my questions very quickly and efficiently. He’s a great host, talking to him is a delight, he’ll interact with you but will also respect your own space. I left Ian’s place wishing I could stay there for longer, which I’ll definitely do in the near future. Highly recommend you to book this place, you won’t regret!
