We rented this apartment for a five day stay in London with our son. The apartment had some pros and cons that I will list here.
Pros:
Centrally located.
Very near the underground/subway.
Has an elevator.
Beautiful view of the city.
Very spacious for an apartment in a large city.
Bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable.
Considering it was in the city it was fairly quiet even with the windows open.
It was cool at night so no airconditioning is required.
Living room furniture was comfortable with plenty of space for us to gather at night and in the morning.
The owners left behind some outlet converters which were very much appreciated since the ones we brought do not work in the UK.
We had plenty of nice towels for the three of us.
Large refrigerator with plenty of space for our shopping.
Cons:
The apartment is older and well lived-in.
It was a bit run down and in the case of the bathroom a bit dirty.
I believe this is an apartment that is normally occupied, and like many of us, they have too many things for the storage space available. So, the cabinets in the kitchen were very full with an assortment of odds and ends in addition to the usual kitchen items.
The kitchen has a beautiful wooden counter but it is in bad shape around the sink area.
Balcony was cluttered with old weathered/broken furniture.
