The location offers good access to the underground. NINE ELMS on the Northern line is the station to use. When you exit Nine Elms, walk directly out and cross the street and continue straight (that is, don’t turn left or right exiting the station). Walk two blocks to S. Lambeth rd. and cross the street. You will see the Estrela Restaurant. Turn left and walk until you see 38-42 Victoria Mansions above the door. The apartment is 2 floors up.
The neighborhood is improving, with a number of Portuguese restaurants. The neighborhood felt safe and very working class. There were a number of closed businesses that were no longer maintained and so the sidewalk in front of those former business was not maintained, but even at 11 p.m. a number of solo women were walking from the underground and through the street.
Next to Nine Elms underground station is a huge Sainsbury supermarket where we found anything we needed for breakfast, etc.
The apartment is fine for 1-2 people with an IKEA double bed, modern and clean refrigerator, electric range, and clothes washer/dryer.
The bathroom accommodates one person at a time as it is narrow. The bedroom has plenty of space to hangs clothes.
Ano or a friend answered all communication promptly. They were flexible with checkin and leaving luggage upon early arrival.
We are both in our 70s but found the 2 block walk to Nine Elms Station easy, giving us convenient access to the many sites we visited during our 10 days. Must sites were less than 30 minutes door to door. So the location was excellent.
