Being passionate about historic buildings as I am, I can always tell immediately when a place has a good feel about it and Nicholas's apartment had it in spades! We travelled from the depths of Cornwall and are unfamiliar with the bright lights of London, so it provided us with immediate sanctuary from the bustle beyond. However, as many others have said (and I'll leave the details to them, as our stay was sadly very brief), it is in such a fabulous location, that we soon bravely ventured back out for a walk across the bridge, marvelled at all the twinkling lights and enjoyed some excellent street food at the Winter Market on the other side. Our first chance to feel festive this year and it felt magical:-)!
Nicholas was the perfect host and his prompt communication and flexibility made all the difference to us, as we had no idea how long it would take us to reach him from Gatwick. Sadly, I didn't win the HE Angel Award I had been shortlisted for (the reason for our visit), but I was well prepared for a fabulous night out, thanks to the amazing shower and all those mirrors (I hadn't decided what to wear so, typically, brought all the options with me)! We were so close to the Palace Theatre and Groucho Club, that we were easily able to walk there and back - which was incredible! What a location!!!!
We wouldn't change a thing about Nicholas's place! We were warm, extremely comfortable, very much at home and so reluctant to leave! We would absolutely love to return for a longer stay and the opportunity to explore more one day .....
