10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2019
This property was in an awesome location for its price. We were just over a mile away from Buckingham Palace and within walking distance to Oxford St where there are a lot of shops and an underground entrance. The only thing that kinda sucked was the sleeping area. We knew the loft area was shallow, but we underestimated it. My wife is 5' and she could almost hit her head while sitting straight up in the bed. Even with that though, I would recommend this property to any younger couple with out any movement restrictions. We definitely enjoyed our stay and the property was very clean. The check in process was very easy and the property manager was very friendly to us.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2019
Flat was great for a quick stay in London, excellent owners/manager. Only complaint was an old flat door lock that was tricky to get to work without some effort
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2019
My partner and I had a lovely stay here. The location is perfect and the area is quite privately located.
This is a tiny loft and I would compare it to one of those tiny homes you see on HGTV ,if you needed a better idea of the size. I was hoping to do more cooking but there is only a small stove top so you can only cook 1 thing at a time. Also, the coffee brewer should be replaced, I spotted some mold in the water tank. Luckily there was a French Press, however it's not the most convenient way to make coffee.
The bathroom is a good size and the overall home is cozy. It worked fine for us.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2019
The good stuff about this flat:
- it is in a nice area, lots of restaurants and pubs
- food mart less than a block away
- modern, clean with lots of upgrades
- on the first floor
- instructions for everything in binder
The bad stuff about this flat:
- the pictures are VERY deceiving, all taken with a wide angle lens
- the loft bedroom is less than a meter high
- super skinny stairs up to the loft bedroom - NO way a heavy set person could navigate
- 60 Pound late check-in is excessive
