Great little GEM indeed!
The apartment was quite comfortable considering the size. Perfect for 2 people. The shower was great with a roomy bathroom (way bigger than the average bathrooms in Europe in my experience). You will have absolutely everything you need. TAMASINE was very attentive, helpful, and generous ( left a bottle of wine and snacks, which was a nice surprise). Thank you TAMASINE!
She provided excellent directions from the airport and information you need to know regarding the apartment and the neighborhood. (which clearly I failed to read upon arrival and ended up messaging her with questions already answered, so sorry TAMASINE, but thanks for your patience with me-:)
The area was amazing, great location with tons of shops, restaurants, bars, grocery stores etc just steps away from the apartment. It is really busy especially on the weekend but I think with mostly locals and not tourists which was great. It was very loud but surprisingly I couldn’t hear any of “fun ”at the apartment.
Although, I didn’t partake in all the fun with the locals much ( I traveled with my 16 year old niece) it was nice to come back after a day of sightseeing to unwind at a pub or restaurant just steps away. But the garden at the apartment was perfect to unwind also.
The tube is less than 10 minutes away and will get you to all the major tourist attractions in 15-30minutes.
Battersea is truly a lovely area, and I felt completely safe.
This was my first time in London, and honestly it might be my new favorite city. The people were much friendlier compared to others In Europe.
I will go back, to London and Battersea and to this hidden gem, for sure!!
