Great location right by Mansion House and the river, in a safe and private space.
Only a couple of negatives, but dealbreakers for certain types. One - bad WiFi. It was on and off, and so slow that it was quicker for me to just use my phone as a hotspot, which is not ideal when you have to use the network for work.
Two - on arrival, there was no hand wash, shower gel, soap or anything at all. I searched everywhere, and came up only with dish soap, which was weird given that there’s no kitchen... This apartment is essentially a hotel setup, so pretty disappointing and inconvenient not even to have a way to wash hands after getting in from a long flight after local shops had closed. Shower amenities are not a must, but given how cheap it is to just bulk buy some mini bottles I would rather have that minimal cost passed on than have a cheaper place and have to find that on location.
The agency running the apartment was good - the person who “checked me in” was very nice and polite but the whole process is pretty unnecessary and just adds another layer of complexity - you have to commit to an arrival time, and I’d obviously prefer just receiving a code or a key location and being left to my own devices. You definitely don’t need to be shown around a room that is as basic as this one.
Other than that, generally a clean, safe and comfortable apartment with a nice balcony. If you’re aware of the above and can plan accordingly, I would recommend.
