This unique little apartment is in the most perfect location. While outside the downtown chaos, you can literally walk to EVERYTHING (and we did)! You are also steps away from several underground and coach stations, buses, etc. if walking isn’t your thing. We took the tube from the airport with one easy line change, straight there. There are nearby pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, a small grocer (try the pasties in the shop just outside - yum).
The apartment was warm, clean and bright (fresh crisp sheets and towels, fresh white paint). On a quiet, safe little private street. Some construction going on next door, but apartment is quite soundproof when windows are closed. Strong wi-fi and television are provided. This is a split-level apartment, so you will have to use steep, narrow stairs - it is not handicap accessible. Not a problem if you don’t have mobility issues.
The very small kitchen and bathroom are in need of a bit of repair. In the bath, It is a bit tricky to shower with the hand-held, with only a half shower door (there is also a tub). No storage or vanity area. There is some concerning water damage that I have recommended for repair. The kitchen needs some cabinet repair and a few additional pans and supplies, if to be used for a lot of cooking. But, you do have a roomy refrigerator and freezer, microwave, water kettle and coffee press. Plenty of dishes and glassware. Oil and good coffee were also provided. There is a nice washing machine/dryer combo available in the basement.
I would recommend the apartment for two adults, or 3 for shorter stays, until some furniture modifications are made. The bedroom is roomy and was surprisingly comfortable for the 2 of us. Great closet space, hangers and drawers. I also found a nice new hair dryer in the night stand drawer for use. My “adult-sized” son did not fare as well, as the living room is quite tight when using the small pull out, and not very comfortable for sleeping or relaxing. This was a bit tough for our weeklong stay.
Our host Sibylle was communicative and responsive. Her staff/friend Michael was warmly welcoming and they supported an early bag-drop for us, which was great after our overnight flight and early arrival.
What a week we had in London!
