The apartment is in a modern and safe new build block with an elevator. It was beautifully decorated and finished to a high standard in terms of fixtures and fittings. All appliances are very new. There was a large balcony for outdoor space. The open plan kitchen / dining / living room area was very spacious and bright, a lovely space to relax after a busy days sight seeing.
Tarsus the host was a delight to deal with. He welcomed us with some wine to start off our stay. He was quick to answer any questions and offered some recommendations for eating locally. We highly recommend both Bread Centrale and Gazette.
In terms of location, it's a five minute walk to the River Thames and we walked the Thames Path all the way to Battersea Park (recommended for families) and Battersea Pier for the river boat. There is also a closer pier for the boats at commuter times. We got the boat to Tower Bridge.
The closest train station is Clapham Junction (use the Grant Rd exit) and it was about a 10minute walk with small children. Easy and quick access by train to Kew Gardens and Waterloo for central London . Walking to the station you do walk on the edge of a council estate (Winstanley) however it felt safe enough, even when on my own with children. It also appeared to be an area of redevelopment.
The station was also joined onto a small shopping centre with a small M&S and Sainburys. There is a corner shop across the road from the apartment.
We used the bus from Clapham Junction to get to West Kensington for the museums and Kensington Park which was very convient when travelling with a baby in a pram.
Overall we would highly recommend Tarsis and his apartment for a stay in London.
