We stayed as a family of 5 (kids 7,6 & 4)for a three day trip to London. The apartment is only a short journey from Liverpool Street station if arriving by train (coming from Stansted airport like we were). Tower Hill tube is only a short walk (approx 4 min) from the apartment, as are Aldgate & Tower Gateway. The area is safe for kids & families with plenty to do within easy walking distance. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The living/kitchen area is spacious and the pool table was a great distraction for my son! Netflix on tv was great bonus. Would recommend this place as an excellent choice for central London, a tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean apartment.
