Our family of five really enjoyed our week in London, and found this flat to be a good home base for our activities. It was comfortable and clean, spacious enough for the five of us, very near the Thames (which was really cool) and close to various shops where we could get needed items.
Paul was our main host and was a big help while we were there. He was incredibly responsive and kind, especially when we had a few small issues like the WiFi not working when we arrived and the hot water and heat going out on the last morning. He got back to me ASAP and knew the details of the apartment well enough to be able to solve the issue via Air BnB messages. Thank you Paul!
A few things to note:
- This apartment is directly in the path of the train tracks and there are trains going by at all hours of the day and night. Bring ear plugs if you're not used to sleeping in the city.
- We used the tube, bus and train lines a lot on our trip, and the nearest stations (Vauxhall, Lambeth, etc) are mostly a 15 minute walk away. This wasn't a big deal, but it did require a bit of extra time/planning to get where we wanted to go.
- The apartment is starting to show some signs of wear and could benefit from a bit of investment in fixing/replacing a few items.
Overall it was a lovely and bright flat that served us well during our vacation. We can't wait to return to the London!
