The apartment was very clean when we arrived. The beds and bathroom were all nice and there were plenty of towels. The neighborhood was relatively quiet, but there was a good cafe a few blocks away and a few pubs/restaurants as well. We spent most of our time out in other neighborhoods exploring, but it was a good place to come home to. The tube is only a 5 minute walk away which was very convenient and we were also able to walk to the area by the south bank of the river.
