Rishi's place is a classy, spacious, bright apartment with an absolutely stunning view of London (IMO). He met me there to hand over the keys & fob, showed me around & answered all of my questions. Rishi's place is beautifully designed with high-quality furniture and decor. It has everything you need for a short stay in London, I felt right at home.
The living room has massive windows, it looks over the canal on one side and the other side looks over a shared space on the complex, there is a lovely balcony with a classic style picnic bench looking out over both sides. The sofa is super comfy and there is a dining table to eat at, the TV has apps logged in for guest use and the wifi connection is strong.The kitchen has the essentials but if you need anything more, there's a Tesco Express on the corner and a Lidl opposite that (literally 2 min walk), which is super convenient. There is a washing machine/dryer, hoover, iron and ironing board available. The bedroom is spacious, with a comfy bed and electric blackout blinds, Rishi leaves an empty chest of drawers and towels for you to use during your stay. The bathroom is so nice, it's a big modern room, in line with the rest of the apartment, and the shower is lovely- good pressure, quick hot water and easy to use. I didn't use the workspace during my stay but I'd be happy to work there if I needed to, same with the gym. I didn't hear any neighbours while I was there, it was very peaceful. The place is clean, tidy and well-kept throughout, I'm quite fussy about cleanliness but nothing caught my eye.
The location of this apartment is ideal for City Airport and it's really easy to get into central London in under 30 minutes (depending on where you're headed!). There are plenty of restaurants and things to do within walking distance, or a short tube ride/Uber journey. The road outside is free parking on the weekends too.
Rishi is a really nice, down to earth guy who was happy to help with any questions I had and I will definitely be staying here again when I'm next visiting London overnight. Note to solo female travellers: I felt safe staying here & I felt comfortable with Rishi.
Make sure you get to see the view of London at night, the twinkly lights of London look so beautiful!
