The location was excellent. Five star * * * * *
5 - 10 minute walk
~tube/subway -- access to all of London
~cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs, grocery stores
~walking distance to all of central London
Amenities
~stove, expresso machine, water pitcher w/ filter, hot water kettle
~kitchen stuff -- pots, pans, plates, etc.
Challenges
~four flights of stairs up (five?)
~shower is small
Problem -- in fact a big problem
~shower water would shut off automatically, varies from 3 to 10 minutes after you start, would shut off for a 1 to 3 minutes then start again either super hot or ice cold. Once it starts again it takes a couple of minutes to get it back to useable temperature. For eight days!
~I found through trial and error that using "Econ" mode makes it more reliable
~when the water stops, point the shower head away as when it restarts it is hot or cold.
~By the end of my visit, I got it worked out. But the first couple of days were frustrating.
The shower situation is 1 star.
