If you’re visiting Rufus’s place for a tourist vacation, this is the perfect location. Approximately 10 minutes walk to both Buckingham Palace and Big Ben in opposite directions. The area feels very safe during the day, and not too worrisome at night. We did have a bit of a trouble with our check in. We requested the 3pm check in time, and when we arrived to the lockbox, the keys were not inside. After calling Rufus’s office, there seemed to be a bit of miscommunication between his employees and the airhosted employees, as multiple people called me asking for the same information. After about an hour and a half, the cleaning person came downstairs and apologized for being late.
Additionally, the first night, the bed in one of the bedrooms broke from just myself sitting down on it. After requesting a person to come and fix the bed, it took about 9 hours for someone to arrive. Once again, communication between the two companies seemed a bit off, as the repairman suggested that we buy a new bed (even though we were just the guests, not the owner.
Lastly, if you plan on working on your laptop or tablet during your stay, prepare for not very strong WiFi. We ended up using cellular most days, as well as the WiFi from the office building next store.
Other than this minor inconveniences, we had a lovely stay at the flat. Rufus and his support team were very quick to answer my messages and calls, and I will happily stay here again in the future!
