This apartment is perfect for anyone traveling to London for the first time, wanting to be close to all the stops and stations. The kitchen is small, but you would be able to prepare a meal or two there if that's your preference. We did not have any problem with the shared bathroom, though it can be a bit of a gamble depending on who your housemate(s) is for the night(s) you stay. Bed and pillows not the best, but at least you have somewhere to rest after a long London day!
