We are a family of 5. So 2 adults and 3 kids ages 9, 6, and 2. Our kids are more of the loud type and so understand that this review is very specific to our family.
I think this apartment would be great for either a couple, a couple with 1 small child, children who are good at being quiet, or 3 adults.
We stayed in apartment #4. You have to go up 4 flights of steps to get to the apartment. Which was fine, they were probably around 10-15 steps each time (estimate since I didn’t count) but with a 2 year old who wanted to walk the steps each time, it took a while.
The apartment is small, but to be fair that is in comparison to what we are used to, so for families who are from other places this might be typical. There is not a table to eat at (that is info for people who have kids that need to eat at a table)
We stayed in late July, so it got hot in the apartment. They did provide fans which helped. Plus there were blinds to help block out the sun.
The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. Check in and check out were very easy, we got a ride from the airport by Rofiqul, who was very nice and helped us get checked in.
There are a lot of things provided such as washer/dryer (it’s one machine), iron with ironing board, shampoo, soap, tea, coffee, sugar, and cooking oil. The TV has Ruko connected to it. There is also wifi provided, although it kept going out on us. At one point it went out completely and we had to get in touch with them to get onto another wifi.
The location is wonderful! You can easily walk to many restaurants, the supermarket, the bus stop, and one of the subways. There is also a water taxi pier that is walking distance away. We were also able to walk to Buckingham Palace and from there, the clock tower with Big Ben. Getting a taxi was not as easy as we thought it would be. The app just doesn’t work. Either it says all the taxis are too busy or it will assign you a taxi and right as you can see it reaching you, it cancels. I talked to someone local who said the best way to get a taxi is by going to a crowded touristy spot or one of the larger transport stations and find one that is parked. If they are drying by, when their light is in it means they are open for pick up and you can wave them down.
Hue was very responsive through Airbnb and very helpful. There were many times I needed his help with things and he was great at helping each time.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. I would probably wait until my kids our older though to stay again or when it’s just me and my husband!
