This is a comfortable apartment close to shops and public transport. It takes about 30 minutes by bus or tube to reach central London. It has a good washing machine and the kitchen is well equipped however the plumbing is idiosyncratic and the shower fitting was broken so that you could only use it as a hand shower. Also, the owner’s belongings are everywhere, ie shoes in the kitchen,so that you feel you are staying with someone who has just stepped out for a moment. On the other hand I felt comfortable borrowing an umbrella! It is reasonably quiet if you close the windows though we found it quite hot and stuffy, and the lounge fronts a busy road and it’s double glazing is compromised by a doggy door. Blanka responded quickly to queries.
