We sincerely appreciated being able to drop off our luggage before check-in.
Located a few blocks off the Thames near Tower Bridge, this modest apartment is very well located! We recommend walking to the river, turning toward Tower Bridge, and stopping for brunch before 11:30 at All Bar One (two brunch entrees for $15 with a great patio view of London).
There's a Tesco grocery store conveniently located near the base of the apartment. Across the street is a Santander bike stand. We used the bikes frequently to get anywhere we needed in London. In fact, we never had to use public transportation and found the bikes much more usable than those in Paris. The bike paths in London are amazing and make it super easy to get around safely.
The views from this high apartment are decent. We had hoped they overlooked the Thames but found them primarily on the opposite side. It's possible to catch a glimpse of the river but it takes effort.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, slept well on the comfortable beds, and appreciated the exceptional location that allowed us to walk, run, and bike through London.
