What can I say? This rental is pretty perfect. We stayed during the extreme July heatwave and were so very lucky to have a portable AC available during our stay. It’s in a prime location- basically across the street from Victoria tube station and two blocks from Victoria Coach. Bus tours picked us up around the block. Fabrine was a very responsive host and really went above and beyond to supply the air conditioner; when we arrived, it was missing and when I contacted Fabrine on our arrival day (Thursday), she said we would have one by Sunday. When we came back from sight-seeing on Saturday, a brand new AC unit was installed and cooling away. The apartment itself was really quite a value given its location (it’s on the edge of Belgravia) and didn’t really feel like a studio apartment. The kitchenette was very handy and there is a Sainsbury Express in Victoria Place for groceries. Many restaurants are in the area and it is a short walk to Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
My only teensy tiny comment would be the quality of the pillows could be better; they seemed kind of cheap and were quite flat. Like other reviewers, you can hear the noise of passing trains on the Tube, but you get used to it very quickly and don’t really notice it. Earplugs would be helpful if you’re a light sleeper. Would recommend this place to anyone and would stay again in a heartbeat!
