This is my second time staying in Carl’s loft apartment, I would have stayed a few more times when coming down to London, but he always seems to be booked up by the time I know my dates of travel.
The apartment is great, it feels like a home away from home. It’s private, so you can come and go as you like without disturbing anyone. There’s also a couple of locks on the door, so I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about leaving any valuables laying around. It’s clean and tidy and stocked with some basics so that rushing out for breakfast isn’t an issue. That said, there are a lot of places near by to get a bite if you’re hungry and Westfield Stratford is only a few minutes drive or tube ride away, so there’s some great shopping to be had.
If you’re heading into central London, which is only 30 minutes by tube, then before you go, ask Carl’s advice as he knows plenty about where to go and what to see.
If you’re an American car enthusiast then you’re in for a great surprise.
All in all, I’d rate Carl’s loft as 5 stars +, he and his family really went the extra mile to ensure that my stay was a good one.
