This was in a great location....about 10 minute walk from Victoria station. We felt safe in the area. Those were my biggest requirements. The photos make this look a lot bigger than it is. The garden was difficult to access because you'd need to move furniture in order to open the door to it. So we just never used it. The stairs ARE a little treacherous. Be careful. The pillows were AWFUL and horribly flat. They really need to be replaced.
There weren't any outlets in the bathroom in order to do my hair in morning.
My biggest problem with the flat is that there was no ventilation at all. There is no fan in teh bathroom, so after a few days, mold started to grow in the bathroom. And overall the bathroom is a mess. - peeling paint and caulking etc. - all because there is no ventilation. Nothing dried in the apartment either. Our towels were never dry. We washed clothes and they never really dried. It made for REALLY hot and humid nights too. There should be a fan in the apartment since there isn't any ventilation or AC.
This would have been a lot better for just a few nights, but we stayed for 8. If we stayed for less time, the apartment wouldn't have started to grow mold and we would have had fresh bedding. We were told at check in that we didn't have any room cleaning service - which I understood before booking the flat. We were told that we could wash our linens in the washing machine if needed. Again - the problem was that nothing dried, so we couldn't wash our linens in the morning and have them dried by night time. We should have been given an extra set of linens.
This flat is in an old building. I know some of this is because its in an old building. But there are things the owners could do to make it better - fans, extra linens, more amenities (shampoo and conditioner), better pillows, extra trash bags, etc.
