Retro apartment moments from Battersea Park

Our stay was amazing, the location is superb, a bus station is very close with frequent buses, walking distance is also great. There are cafes and a grocery store few meters away. The apartment is quite large (separate kitchen area, living room, bathroom, two bedrooms - one with sofa). The apartment is very cozy with the art and library. It is a bit louder from the outside, but it is expected given the location in the city centre. The towels were clean and new, the bed sheets were worn-out, could be time to replace. But other than that, the communication with the support was amazing and I will be coming back.

Location and facilities. It was clean and quirky , loved the layout and being central was great.

The sofa bed wasn’t pulled out we had to make it up. It wasn’t very comfortable the mattress was too thin. There was no hanging space in-this room as it was full of extra duvets which took up a lot of the wardrobe. We personally felt there was too much furniture in the sofa bed room making it cramped when the bed was out. The dryer doesn’t work, I washed and put the dryer on but it never got hot to dry anything. I tried twice before giving up trying to dry them. A laundry basket would have been good. The entrance staircase is steep, the carpet was really dirty and the walls dirty and paint chipped. it wasn’t a good first impression. We had heavy cases which was a struggle getting up the staircase which has a small landing area before it turns to go up again.

This apartment is in a great location, with quick links to public transport and only a short walk from the lovely Battersea Park and the Thames River. The surrounding area has cafes, pubs, and shopping, all within walking distance, including the Battersea Power Station, with a large range of shops. The apartment was well appointed.

I would not recommend this apartment for friends travelling together unless you are willing to sleep in the main bed together. The sofa bed is extremely uncomfortable, and despite asking for a mattress topper (and a clothes airer/rack) multiple times, my request was not fulfilled. This resulted in an uncomfortable 8 nights. Also, while I advised upon booking that a sofa bed was required, it was not ready upon our arrival. We found a linen pack in a cupboard which was used to make the bed, but when I requested the mattress topper, I was quizzed about what linen I had used to make the sofa bed, like I had done the wrong thing.
