Best way to do this is to go with pros and cons:
Pros:
- location, location, location
- you have everything, EVERYTHING you could possibly need downstairs. Supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, train station... and you are bang in the middle of central London.
- apartment has everything thing you need to be a home away from home. Bedding, towels, kitchen utensils and the 2 things that put a smile on my face: hand held bidets in both bathrooms and 3-4 different French press systems. 2 things I usually really miss when I’m away from my house.
- 1 of the beds is super firm (the way I like it) and the other softer
- super quiet apartment too
Cons:
- apartment is tired and doesn’t look as shiny and new as the photos but don’t let that put you off. It does what it says on the tin
- if the apartment hasn’t been used in a while and London is going through a very cold spell, get the owner to switch on the central heating a day or 2 before. The apartment needs a whole day and then some to warm up. But once it’s reaches the right temperature, it’s easy to regulate. Just takes ages to get there.
Otherwise really loved it. Good communication from owner and easy access to everything. Would definitely recommend and would use again if we are in the area. Thanks Mark!
