Beautiful flat! It was recently redone and repainted. It smelled new and was perfectly clean! It is a small space, but excellently planned to make the most of the area. Small cute touches, but simple and practical—we loved it!
Everything that is needed for a short stay—French press, iron/board, hair dryer, washing machine/dryer, electric kettle, microwave, small fridge/mini freezer, plates and cutlery for 3 people. Nice touches of tea, instant coffee, and bottled water.
Shola is a great hostess and attentive to our needs. There are key boxes outside which allowed for flexible arrival times. We arrived quite late at night as did other guests. Shola checked in with us in real time to make sure we were able to get in without any issues.
As noted in the reviews, it is an apartment within a house that has 4 other units. You can hear people walking above you and coming in and out of the main door. This did not bother us as the other guests were quiet at night. Light sleepers should consider renting her penthouse.
The apartment itself has a bedroom and a separate living area with a futon that includes a door between the two. It worked out great for 2 friends traveling. If you’re traveling for longer than a few days, check with Shola about accessing the full kitchen on the 1st floor.
A quick 2 minute walk from the jubilee line with easy access to all of London. There is a convenience store and Indian/fish-n-chips restaurant between the house and underground station. If you exit the station on the opposite side from the apartment (or walk through the station tunnel) you will find a lovely strip of different types of restaurants about a block from the station (7 minute walk from the apartment).
