We appreciated the manager’s speedy response to our last minute request to book, the visitors’ parking permits allowing us to park on the street, and the peace and quiet of the property and surrounding area. We know Greenwich reasonably well and this is a pleasant and relatively safe neighbourhood with close proximity to buses, parks, shops and mainline rail services into the city.
The access to the flat is tricky in the dark and we found a torch useful. The flat was attractive, clean and comfortable enough for a couple to spend a few days in but during our visit there were ongoing issues with the unreliable hot water supply, a noisy toilet cistern leak and the irritation of light entering the bedroom all night due to the absence of blackout blinds or curtains at the bedroom windows. When the very helpful owners living in the house were informed of the problem a gas engineer promptly arrived and did his best to fix the gas boiler, with limited success.
The kitchen / living area has a dining table but no worktop for food preparation, no dishwasher, no vegetable knife, no washing up bowl or drying up cloths, and no work surface or other space on which to stack dirty dishes, but it does have a fridge freezer, a microwave oven, a kettle, one hob pan with lid, a frying pan and a medium size pyrex oven dish (no lid). We found it challenging to prep and cook in, this could easily be resolved if it were better equipped. We felt the flat would benefit from more active hands on supervision and management to really provide the service the owners would like to believe they offer.
