This apartment is truly in the ideal spot! We were able to take the train from Gatwick airport, and then just a 10 minute walk to get to the apartment from the train station. There is also a subway line that we could have transferred to the would have dropped us off literally just 150 feet from the apartment, but we wanted to get to know the neighborhood so we walked. The area has lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from, and we always felt safe. On our first full day we walked to Buckingham Palace in under 30 minutes. Because of the location we were always able to get everywhere fast by bus, subway, or walking....everything from Tower Bridge, London Eye, Picadilly, Hyde Park. If we ever come back, we would love to stay here again. The apartment has a small well-appointed kitchen with laundry, and we were able to do laundry before we left. The only thing that didn't fully meet our expectation was the sound that finds it's way into the apartment. It is a below street level apartment, and while it has great light, it somehow captures the sound of people talking, cars passing, and the chime of the church bells across the street every 15 minutes. If you are a light sleeper, it may be best to bring ear plugs for sleeping. We arrived on a Saturday and party goers and drinkers passing by talking loudly into the wee hours made it hard to stay asleep. By the time we left 4 days later, we were sleeping a little more soundly, but we still woke up a few times from loud cars. Just come prepared if you sleep light, but you will love the location of feeling like you are part of a charming neighborhood.
