We had a great stay at Ana’s place. Ana is an excellent host, extremely responsive and the check in and out procedures were clear and easy. The apartment building is nothing to look at, but the apartment is as pictured — very clean, nicely decorated, modern, and functional. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer in the apartment.
The apartment is located near the Barbican, in more of a business and commercial area than a residential area, and it was quiet at night. There is a supermarket right next door to the apartment building and a café, pharmacy, and other shops within a block. On weekdays at lunchtime, food trucks serving everything from curry to falafel to salads fill the adjacent street and we joined local office workers in getting a good and inexpensive lunch.
The apartment is well situated for exploring London, especially for first time visitors — it is walking distance to 2-3 convenient Underground stops and bus lines (the double decker buses are a great and fun alternate way to get around), and a 30-35 minute walk from several other destinations, such as the British Museum and the Tower of London.
We were very happy with our stay at Ana’s place!
