We had a wonderful stay. There are so many pros to this property.
Pros:
- location is fantastic. You are close to multiple Metro lines and walking distance to so many things, including the West End. It is also in a very safe area.
-surprisingly, even with the proximity to so many attractions, it is generally very quiet
-personnel at the front desk 24/7. They’re very helpful and nice
-the gym is small but fantastic. A wide variety of equipment (much better than most places) and clean
-washer/dryer was great
-dishwasher worked very well
-everything you need to prepare and eat meals in the apartment
-wifi is good. Perhaps not the fastest ever, but sufficient and on par with other properties
-accurate to description and photos
-A ramp and elevator for anyone with mobility issues
-clean and updated space
I don’t think there are any true cons to this apartment, at least not in our experience. That being said, here are a few areas to consider when booking this property.
Areas to be aware of for personal preference when booking:
-the apartment truly is a studio and it’s a bit tight. Pay attention to the listing. The specs are accurate.
-the pillows are average and mattress is firm. Bed was smaller than expected (perhaps a queen, but felt more like a large full)
-everything is compact and made for a small apartment, so you probably won’t want to cook a gourmet meal here
-no food provided. However, if you’d like to purchase snacks, wine, etc. they are available for purchase in your room
-cleaning comes once a week
-We loved the location, because it felt like a little oasis of calm. But if you want to walk out the door into the city hustle and bustle, then you may want to find another location
Bonus info: we didn’t realize we’d booked our trip during the Queen’s platinum jubilee. Even with how ridiculously busy it became in London, our location still felt calm and safe. We chose not to go out in the streets for the parade or fly by, but we were right under the path for the fly by (which we loved) and could hear the crowds in the distance as we watched on tv. We felt it was the best of both worlds.
Overall, it was wonderful and we’re very glad we stayed at this location!
