this flight is in an amazing location just a couple blocks from St. John’s Wood High Street.
Things we liked:
– top floor
– Location is truly the best feature of this apartment. Loved easily walking to the Saint johns wood high street and grabbing groceries and picnic items at panzers deli. Regents Park is so close and a great place to picnic and walk around. If the weather had cooperated, we would have enjoyed going to a musical at the outdoor theater in Regents Park. And it is also very easy to get to Hampstead Heath ( ~30 minute walk)
– washing machine
– pretty clean
– Scarlet the property manager was very sweet.
Things we wish were different:
– This might be a thing only Americans care about, but we would love to have a top sheet in addition to a fitted sheet on beds that we can have between us and the comforter. This would’ve especially been great since it was very hot and the comforter was too warm.
– there is a window above the front door of the flat that lets in light from the stairs/hallway of the building. This is very bright in the middle of the night. If you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night, as you leave the bedroom you will have the bright lights of the hallway shining into the dining room.
– We like that there was warm water for the shower, but there was no cold water. This isn’t a big deal for those that don’t like to take cold showers.
– When we checked in, there were no necessary amenities like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, etc. Scarlet was very nice to send us some of these amenities when she saw that these were missing. She also was nice enough to get us a bottle of wine.
– They seem to be all the rage in Europe, but not crazy about the square toilets
The lack of “necessary amenities” Like toilet paper, soaps etc. (Given the cost of the flat) is the biggest flaw of this flat. Though, it did hopefully seem like this was a one time issue. And credit to Scarlet for doing her best to remedy the issue.
Overall it was a positive experience with some areas to improve.
