Fitzrovia - Charlotte Street by Viridian Apartments

Location is really nice. All you might need is about 5 min walk. 3 stations, bus stations, groceries, cafes. The flat itself quite cozy, clean with a great wifi. I was staying only for 2 nights so if you are looking for short-staying is defo recommended.

My flat was on the 5th floor with mansard roof during the terrible heatwave in London. I've arrived in the midnight so after the whole day with +32 and closed windows the flat was terribly hot to sleep even with a fan. I know that most of UKs flats doesn't have a/c but that's my experience and it was really hard to handle days after nights like that.

Lo que más nos gustó fue la ubicacion, el apartamento esta ubicado en una zona muy centrica, cerca de todos los servicios, supermercados, tiendas de ropa, estacion de metro, buen acceso a bus. De las instalaciones de la vivienda, lo que más nos gustó fue la confortabilidad de las camas y todos los servicios que dispone el apartamento: lavadora, microondas... La vivienda muy limpia y ropa de cama, toallas,.. todo muy bien.. Como fue una estancia de siete dias, nos limpiaron un dia el apartamento. Detalles del apartamento: nos dejaron papel higienico, envuelto en papel decorado, dos unidades en cada baño y un platito en la cocina con sobres de infusiones, cafe, azucar...

Que el edificio no tiene ascensor. El día de llegada nos hicimos un poco lío para abrir la puerta con el código, porque estamos intentando abrir un apartamento que no era. Las instrucciones fueron por wsaph y agobia un poco no tener a alguien de forma presencial. Cuando entramos en el apartamento el día de llegada estaba la calefaccion encendida y no había forma de apagarla, finalmente lo conseguimos investigando. El primer día estuvo encendida sin necesidad. El menaje de la cocina : vasos, ensaladera, muy fragiles Nos pareció excesivo los precios por hora si se quiere adelantar la hora de entrada o retrasar la hora de la salida, creo que podría ser mas flexible los horarios y/o proporcionar guardamaletas sin coste.

Liked the cleanliness and use of keypads instead of keys. Also enjoyed the fact that everything we needed was there.

Shame about the lack of double-glazed windows as this is a noisy area. Also someone showed up at the end of our stay to look at some work to be done. This could have waited for after we left.

Location.

No communication via live chat on Viridian website. Makes it difficult to troubleshoot when have data only sim. Had to get a neighbour to call them for us. Very noisy apartment- we are not light sleepers and you can hear so much street noise through closed window, echos through main hallway and so loud when walking in apartment above. Worst place for noise we had in our 6 week trip and we stayed here for 9 days. Poor ventilation in shower due to massive dust build up over vent despite having exhaust running - thus set fire alarm off. Zero instructions on how to use anything in the apartment - we were freezing as couldn’t turn the heaters on. As stated earlier - any efforts for communication with Viridian were terrible and super delayed. Avoid!
