Overall, we had a decently good stay at Sarah’s but there were some definite pros and cons as listed below:
Cons:
- We were not given the correct gate codes to enter the building; this was stressful as we arrived at night and luckily the security desk person was still around to let us in. We didn't receive the correct codes until a few days into our trip and so we were always stressed when going out because we weren't sure if we could get back into the building
- It was too hot in the apartment during sunny days due to the entire street-facing wall in the living room being a large glass window (the glass was heating up due to the sun, creating a sauna)
- The bedroom lacked privacy due to the wall also being a large glass window (you could hear everything in the corridors / people passing by). And because this was a mixed-use building (with lots of commercial space / company offices there), there was a lot of noise
- The bathroom had no shelves / space to put anything
Pros:
- The kitchen was well equipped
- The apartment was, in general, in decent+clean shape and has everything you would need for at least a short stay
- The location is very good; around 10 minutes on foot to London Bridge station
