This apartment is in a corporate owned building that has all short term rentals. Our apartment was up just one flight of stairs. As described, it's very bright, open and spacious. It's a very lively corner with pubs and restaurants, but the windows were great and very soundproof. The bars all calm down after 11PM. In warm weather, noise could be a problem with windows open, for early to bed people. The location is the most convenient possible--we could walk to everything we did in London. The bed is small--probably an American double--but was very comfortable. We had heat issues while we were there. Management was responsive to our issues but had trouble resolving them while we were there. Before arrival, the apartment owner asked for a credit card directly from us for a damage deposit. When I pointed out that this is contrary to Airbnb policy, they backed down. We would gladly stay here again, in cool weather.
