So we booked this property in April when there were no negative reviews. I checked reviews again a few weeks before our visit in early Oct and got a little nervous with the negative reviews. In the end no worries. The space was very clean. Yes there are a few cosmetic issues but location to the tube/Westminster/Buckingham Palace more than makes up for that. Our biggest issue was St James station was closed Oct 12-13 because the Circle and District lines happened to be closed for maintenance. Bummer but what can you do. Yes you have to climb stairs to get from the 3rd floor lift to the unit but that is a minor inconvenience. Eateries within a block or 2 include Feathers(excellent), Pickles(a working persons breakfast @ 6 pounds) and a handful of others. We had a great time and would return to this property.
