First of all, the fact that we had the whole house around the corner from the Buckingham Palace all to ourselves was amazing. It’s a great space with a lot of room and all the amenities a family would need. And it’s either walking distance to a lot of sights or Victoria Station is 5 mins away. So, the location couldn’t be any more convenient. And super quiet as well.
However, I wish the owner of the apartment invested a little bit into its upkeep. There were a lot of small nagging issues that prevents this from being a perfect stay. For example, even though there are 2 showers, one of them was missing the hook for the shower head, so it wasn’t really usable as a shower; living room couch had stains all over it, clearly from previous guests; dryer wasn’t working at all. And in general, the space was missing some personal touches like wine glasses. When we contacted the management company, they were very responsive and did what they could (including delivering extra towels), but deferred to the owner most of the time.
All in all, great space in a great location, but could use some maintenance.
