Views, location and amenities that don't disappoint in this modern apartment.
I almost didn't want to leave the apartment to go sight seeing every day, as it was enough to just sit and watch it from the balcony or the sofa. Photos of the view don't do it justice, with its sweeping vista to the London Eye, and there is always new activity on the water and the Thames walk to watch.
The connections couldn't be better. The tube station is right at the corner of the building, with only two stops to Victoria, and the Thames Clipper is right outside-we took it all the way to Canary wharf in only about 30 minutes. If you want to walk, it was 20/25 minutes to the Eye. This the most convenient location in London that I have ever stayed in.
The Tesco is also right on the doorstep and they had a good selection of wines and food. The neighborhood felt safe and lively, but not too noisy.
The apartment itself was clean and modern, showers had excellent pressure and the bath tub was huge. The kitchen was well stocked with herbs and spices and all sorts of handy things for making meals. Every appliance and utensil possible was there! I especially loved the fresh herbs growing on the balcony, and sitting out there, having dinner and a glass of wine enjoying the sunset, was like being at the best restaurant in town. Having a washing machine is great, and I found a large hanging rack in the cupboard to dry clothes on, and then finished them off in the dryer (otherwise it didn't cope with a large load to dry).
I can't say enough good things, or thank Carolin enough for letting us stay in her wonderful place, it felt like our home for four nights, and I didn't want to leave.
