After staying at Vic’s for almost 3 months, with between 1 and 4 adults at any given time, we can safely say that this flat is a great, bright and clean home away from home for 1 to 2 adults with young children. It is excellently located, a short walk to a Victoria line station, and has extremely easy access to buses headed North and South of the river, so getting around is easy. The size of the flat is good, with double beds in both rooms, 2 spare beds in case of additional guests, and even a wide couch that could double as another bed. The kitchen is well fitted out with everything you need to cook with, and the giant Sainsbury’s downstairs with a small chemists and cafe makes shopping and other essentials simple. The underfloor heating for the apartment is amazing in winter. Vic as a host is super friendly and helpful and extremely responsive. You would have no serious complaints when staying here, long-term or short.
There are some minor downsides to the flat. Showers have faulty heads that send water everywhere but straight down. Food delivery people and Uber drivers can never find the address or postcode. There are some incomplete items of furniture in the flat. The wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom is just a temporary fabric thing that doesn’t offer much storage, especially if adults are also staying in the bedroom . Mattresses and pillows were too soft for us. Thin curtains and too-small curtains in the bedrooms means lots of light leaks in from the public terrace outside (which is lit all night). People entering and leaving the building during the day can look straight into the living room, as there is only privacy provided then by the bushes.
In summary, a number of small issues aside, staying at Vic’s is a comfortable, clean, relaxing experience that leaves you perfectly placed to enjoy exploring London. I would happily stay again, especially if Vic is able to address to address the small issues. Taking a London bus from outside the apartment development to Parliament Square and Big Ben in 15 minutes is incredible
