We stayed here specifically for an event at Alexandra Palace. However, it was also the first time one of us has been to London so there was all the standard sightseeing involved too. The location of Sylvie's apartment is great as you are a 10 minute walk (or 2 minute bus ride) from Mile End Station on the Central Line in Zone 2. Location wise it made this a great base; not too close to the centre to be unaffordable - but close enough to keep travel time low. As mentioned in other reviews, the huge corner sofa is outstanding for winding down after walking all day. So much so we struggled get off it and make our way to bed. We were in regular contact with Sylvie who was both fast and happy to respond to our (multiple!) queries whenever we asked. All in all, we had a cracking stay and would definitely recommend.
nb. Even though we weren't there to lounge around, we were surprised there was no TV - simply because we have become so accustomed to winding down in front of a screen before bed. However, we loved having a sanctuary away from the buzz of London and soon found ourselves playing games, listening to music and relaxing much more without the drone of the box. If you really can't cope though, make sure to bring a laptop!
