Check in- easy, Chris met us at the apartment. One flight of stairs to bring your luggage up
Location- right in the heart of SOHO. You’re about a 3 minute walk from the Elizabeth line. Lots of busses you can hop on in the area. A few blocks from the major shopping street. Easy to walk to many sights and attractions.
Noise- every morning at 10 am either a person or business starts playing high energy music that you can hear nonstop until about 10pm in both the bedroom and living room. The extra noise reducing windows Chris has put in definitely helps, I couldn’t imagine how loud it would be if they weren’t in place. You can hear some street noise in living room throughout the day but it isn’t bad at night. I’m a light sleeper and was able to sleep well here.
Kitchen- functional, has the dishes and utensils you’d need. We found the oven not to be working while here. Communicated with Chris and tried all the switches that may have been turned off by the cleaner but it wouldn’t work for us. The stovetop did work so we were able to use that to make breakfast. Fridge is small but totally functional.
Bathroom- pretty tight as disclosed and looks different than the pictures in the listing but worked well for our needs. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner are provided which is very nice.
Bedroom -tiny but functional, bed is comfortable and linens are nice. There is a small hanging pipe that has a handful of hangers on it but no closet or room to put your luggage or clothing. There is a dresser in the living room under the TV you can use to put your clothes in. The bedroom has no door, just a curtain that you can use to close off the doorway.
Additional info - not sure if there are multiple listings but some of the pictures didn’t seem to match the apartment we were staying in. Wi-Fi was good and was nice to have a large TV to enjoy. Not sure 4 adults could comfortably use this space as it’s pretty tight and the 2nd bed is the couch that turns into a bed but takes up a lot of room in the living area and it was stained a bit with blankets thrown over it. Chris was super helpful with telling us to catch a train from the airport instead of taking a cab, he gave very useful directions on how to do so so that it didn’t cost us a lot more money as well as time.
