Great location!. I would thoroughly recommend this flat to anyone who visits London and wants to be close to the main attractions that the city can offer.
Amazing view of the Shard from the back terrace which is beautiful at night, you can sit and enjoy a drink if the weather is the right condition. London Bridge tube station is literally 2 minutes away and you also have a great train station 10 minutes away. Nice pubs in the area , I recommend " Bunch of grapes" next to Barclays bank. I wanted to try "the George Inn pub" which is nearer but it was always packed. The fantastic Borough market is just opposite, you cross the road and walk ahead, there you can find fantastic products.
If I had to mention some personal minor drawbacks, life in the area is quite hectic so if you are the kind of person that can´t take the pressure of people constantly walking from one way to the other and even pushing you aside, it could not be your cup of tea. Another thing is that a lot of light comes in and being in the summer, you could be receiving sunlight in your room at 5 in the morning. The door is a bit weak, perhaps it should have a double lock for security, but once again this is just a personal opinion. The fact that the flat is on a third floor has its pros and cons: first the obvious fact of carrying the cases up when you arrive, is quite tiring. On the other hand, I personally believe that it is safer being at the top floor and it´s also better for the noise coming from parties during the weekend. I mention these minor facts despite the fact that the positive side definitely beats any minor negative points.
As for the hosts, very helpful any time we needed anything, we even had the opportunity of meeting Vanessa the last day who asked us if we needed anything until the last moment. When we could not find something in the flat, they replied immediately and helped us all the way during our marvellous stay.
I can only mention mostly positive things about this amazing flat.
