Charlotte’s place was in an excellent location. Extremely close to a tube station (50m) that was on the direct line to Trafalgar Square, we could also walk to Baker St station and it is a short cab ride from Paddington station. There is a small supermarket for essentials, a wonderful pizza place (eat in or takeaway), a fish and chippery and a pub that serves Peruvian cuisine - all within 50m. The the station has a Starbucks, M&S food and a pub. The street was quiet. Cannot fault the location of this apartment.
We were there in winter, the heating was great! There was underfloor heating in the bathroom with radiators throughout.
The apartment itself was small. We were 3, less than averaged size women, and I would recommend no more. The bedrooms were ok in size, but the living area/dining and kitchen were one and were on the small side. The kitchen was only big enough for one person in there at a time. If you are only going to be out a lot, then it’s ok for max 4 average size persons.
Whilst entry is on the ground floor, the apartment is on level one. The stairs are narrow and dragging large suitcases up for some could be an issue. Caution for those that have mobility issues.
Communication was through a host team. Initially quite slow and follow up emails regarding a response was required. During our stay I reported a leak with the hot water system, the team promptly organised it to be fixed but they were coming between 8am and 6pm which they said I could leave a key for them but I was uncomfortable leaving all of our luggage and valuables there with an unsecured apartment. In addition my daughter was sick that day and I didn’t want her home with a stranger in the apartment.
This apartment met our needs. It was clean and the amenities were good. Check out was simple.
