Ayden's home is exactly as pictured. It was perfect for our family of 3. It can be difficult to figure out a decent place for our teenager to sleep at night. While Ayden's home is a single bedroom apartment, the living area functions like a bedroom with a door that closes for complete privacy. The sofa bed was comfortable for a sofa bed. For a single sleeper, it was most comfortable to simply remove the back cushions and not pull out the couch.
The bed in the bedroom was comfortable enough. It's hard to sleep on any spring mattress when you are used to memory foam at home!
Ayden's place is extremely well located. We flew into Gatwick, took the Gatwick Express to London Victoria. Ayden's place is along a direct tube route from London Victoria. It couldn't have been any easier.
There is SO MUCH within walking distance. Several grocery stores. A great number of restaurants, including many that have take away, pubs, cocktail bars, coffee shops...just everything you could possibly want is there. In every direction, there are choices.
The apartment itself is well appointed. Handy touches like converter plugs for USA plugs to make charging our devices easy. The tub does have high sides, so if you have issues getting in and out of a taller sided tub, be aware. We had no issues though.
It is a typical city location with standard city noise. Some that are used to sleeping in typical USA suburban communities may have issues. We live in a downtown and had no issues. I'm of the opinion that such noise would exist in ANY residence in this general area though and offer the caution as a general insight to prepare for staying in London.
We were very happy for the elevator! We walked everywhere. Used the tube. Rode the bus. Our lifestyle is not so walking intensive so we were especially happy to stay in a building with an elevator.
I would highly recommend Ayden's home and would stay again.
