My wife and I came to London with our 1 year-old daughter for an 11 day stay and wanted a place where we could feel at home, get settled in, make meals, do laundry, and most of all be close to family friendly things to do.
This was a great find and Mirko was a great host. Very helpful and responsive, and went out of his way to provide baby friendly items we didn’t bring with us.
What we loved:
Location - Steps away from Hyde Park at the Diana Playground corner and also steps away from Bayswater tube for easy getting around town.
Clean place - Very nice clean and simple flat with all of the amenities. Does not feel like you are crashing in somebody’s house it feels like a fresh slate for you.
Amenities - Nice kitchen and updated appliances like laundry, dishwasher, fridge/freezer made it easy to settle in.
What to know:
These are just a few things to know most of which we were aware of already.
Second bedroom quite small - basically it’s a bit larger than the size of the bed and no closet space. We had hoped the baby crib would go in this room but there was not space.
Loud floors - Again this doesn’t matter if you are not trying to let a baby sleep, but we definitely had to tread lightly after the baby fell asleep with some very nice and modern but still creaky floorboards.
Elevator to stairs - The lift stops 1 floor below the unit so it’s a small windy staircase up to the unit. Easy for adults but not convenient with a stroller. But we did know about this from the description and that’s also something that comes with being on the top floor with a balcony and park view.
Overall we really loved this flat and would likely stay again.
