If you’re just coming in from the airport, tired and cranky, the walk from the subway to the apartment seems a lot longer than it actually is. As Americans used to straight lines and grids, it could get quite frustrating navigating English streets, and remembering to look the “wrong” way when crossing.
But to be fair, the flat is actually about equidistant to three subway lines, all of which we ended up using, depending on where we were going or coming from.
Once you’re familiar with the neighborhood, map your own routes, even Google gives walking instructions that are over-complicated and take you the long way around obstructions.
The apartment is cozy and fine for a family of four, one of the queen sized beds takes up most of the space in that bedroom, so one of the guests has to climb over the other if a late night trip to the loo is needed.
The kitchen amenities were good, and we used the dishwasher all the time, so quiet and convenient! WiFi and TV were both good, and there was access to the garden, but we never ended up using that.
Lara was a great host and accommodated our early check in, and was very responsive to any questions we had. Overall, I’d recommend this place without reservation.
