This place is a true gem!! I’m almost hesitant to write such a glowing review because I’d love to stay here again, and I’m sure once the word gets out, it’ll get snapped up constantly.
It’s located 3-5 mins from Harrods, Hyde Park, the V&A and many other museums, but at the end of a picture perfect quiet London square. Gorgeous view of a private park in the front, incredible view of the rear of a cathedral in the back, it could not be more picturesque or peaceful.
The amenities were amazing to have for a longer stay, including kitchen with all necessary equipment/items (including tea kettle, microwave, toaster, oven….), dishwasher, laundry machine, plenty of drawer and hanging space with hangers provided, ironing board, drying rack…. You name it, it’s probably there!
It was also very clean! I am a neat freak and very COVID-conscious, and wiped down almost all surfaces when I entered, and I could tell everything had been thoroughly cleaned.
The hosts were very professional, friendly, and though I didn’t see them at all (which I actually personally prefer), the communication through WhatsApp was very easy, and they were extremely responsive, answering my few questions within 10 minutes tops).
The only thing to note for anyone concerned about safety is that the elevator opens directly into the apartment living room. The building is very small however, and obviously you would need the code to be able to enter through there, but it did take a second to get used to. I really did not ever feel unsafe there though.
I will definitely be staying there again should I pass through London, and will be recommending it to friends too!
