The Earls Court 2 br Flat that Thanos rents is awesome! I can’t say enough about how pleased we were staying there. Being people who rent hotels, we decided to go out of our comfort zone and try something new. Thanos’ flat was the perfect mix of comfort and function. There are so many great things about the flat, but to us the best was it’s proximity to the Earls Court Tube station. Just a 5min walk and you are at a great hub for the Piccadilly, and District lines. These two lines pretty much got us where we wanted to be in 30 min or less. Getting from Heathrow, was a straight shot (no transfers) and to King’s Cross for our train to France was a straight shot as well. This saved us a ton on uber and cab rides. We deposited £35 on our OYSTER cards at the beginnings the trip and had less the £1 left when we departed! We used it multiple times daily.
The flat it’s self was perfect for us (2 adults and 1 child). There is a master with a bath, spare bedroom in the back, with a larger bath in the hall. We enjoyed sitting in the living room and talking about what we were going to do the next day. Thanos provides us with 2 new fans that kept the bedrooms cool enough for even us air conditioning loving Americans! WiFi worked great, and we were able to FaceTime with our families, our son to watch Netflix before bed, and even though we didn’t watch a ton of TV, the cable worked fine when we did.
There are tons of great things to do around the flat and it is on a really awesome, quiet, street. We even joked over the week that as soon as you walked onto Kempsfield Gardens, and off the main road, it was like you were in another world. There is a TESCO (grocery store) a few blocks away, as well as a Starbucks, and some of the other familiar American chains nearby. We have a pickey eater in the family, so this helped out a lot and allowed us to eat some more adult food!
I would have no hesitations recommending this flat to anyone. If you are nervous about renting off Airbnb, don’t be afraid to take a chance on this apartment! We are glad we did!
