Cindy’s place is in a good location (8 min walk to underground and 10-12 min ride to most of the major tourist attractions; £20 taxi/Uber to Piccadilly Circus). The decor at Cindy’s place is lovely and we’ll considered, and we really enjoyed th outdoor deck area. However, I would NOT recommend this listing if stairs are not your thing, OR if you are a larger person or aged person. It’s on the third level of a walk up and plus another STEEP spiral staircase to the master bedroom that was so narrow we didn’t risk taking our bags up to the bedroom. My husband, who is 76 years old 6’4” and VERY fit, had heart palpitations bringing our suitcases up to the flat and nearly fell down the stairs to the bedroom (easy to do because the steps are slippery and perhaps 6-7” at their widest , without a handrail at the top two stairs). The front entryway and stairwell to the building are dirty and the banister rail is broken toward the top of the stairs case. Again, the flat itself was gorgeous and if you’re young, travel light and/or don’t mind stairs, you’ll be happy you booked this place!
The neighborhood pub, Hero of Maide Vale, serves a great Sunday Roast and the staff are SUPER friendly. We became regulars quickly and they knew are preferences by second visit.
Communication with Cindy was good and she was helpful with questions we had about travel times to city. She met us for checkin but checkin could have been a bit less stressful had there been a self checkin option.
PS the key to the flat sticks big time and you’ll need to jiggle it quite a bit.
