My wife and I stayed for two nights at this apartment. Our host was a gentleman named Carlo.
I say gentleman because when I had mistakenly went to the wrong location, he ordered us an Uber - just took care of a little detail like that when he absolutely didn’t have to do it. So a great start.
Carlo met us nearby the apartment building and accompanied us to the accommodation showing us how the key fob worked with the building’s lifts and access doors.
The apartment itself was excellent, very well appointed with great furniture and all you could need in terms of bedding, towels, toiletries etc. There was complimentary bottled water, milk (dairy & non dairy) as well as a good selection of alcohol in the wine fridge.
The apartment features great views from the living room window and bedroom balcony. Vauxhall Train/Tube Station is a short walk (15 minutes) along the boardwalk on the south bank of the Thames river. There’s also a River Bus service operated by Transport for London near the train station as well as bicycles for hire across the road from the apartment on Nine Elms Road.
Beside the apartment there’s a great Irish bar called Homeboy Bar - well worth a visit particularly if they have live music on. There’s also a Waitrose right outside the entrance to the apartment.
We visited the area around the Battersea Power Plant (10 minute walk) which features some cool coffee shops, bars and restaurants and is the cleanest area of London I’ve seen. This was recommended by Carlo who left his number and said to contact him anytime if we needed anything.
Despite being so central and having excellent transport links, the apartment is well insulated in terms of sound - we couldn’t hear the passing traffic below and had two great night’s sleep.
We would definitely stay again and we are grateful to Carlo for his warm hospitality.
