This apartment is in a perfect location. It is within easy walking distance to countless historical sites, 2 minutes to the underground, and close to many different kinds of restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We were not disturbed at night, even with the windows open. You can go to Heathrow airport or the Eurostar train on the underground with no transfers - could not be easier.
The building architecture has old world charm with an ornate exterior, with tall ceilings, plaster crown moldings and wide casings. The interior of the apartment has been very well refurbished and well maintained, but the stairwell could use some work. There is no elevator, but not a real problem as there are only 2 flights of stairs to get to the apartment.
The kitchen is small, but very functional and well stocked. Plenty of seating in the living room and dining room. It has a washer and dryer. Only one bathroom, so got a bit hectic in the morning with 5 adults.
The host is very responsive and went out of his way to adjust to changes in our schedule. Very enjoyable stay.
