Garden Apartment London

Amazing location, fabolus decor, beds comfy, plenty towels. 10min walk to Victoria Station. Fans were provided for the hot weather.

All was perfect

I am surprised at why the property is rated as 8.6. This was an exceptional property with a full 10/10 score for us. The apartment is very spacious, well equipped, and cosy.

The water heating system doesn't work at night. We tried using it at around midnight ( for clarity)

Very nice apartment, amazing location, beautiful street.

Could do with a few more mugs for tea.

The location of the property was just great. Far enough away from anywhere too busy and noisy. Yet close enough to local amenities. Shops, Restaurants, Bars, Supermarket, and Transport were all a very short walk away. Carlos sent us a whatsapp video with entry instructions and basic tutorial for how to control the lighting. (Not a standard on/off switch! Actually quite fun to work them out! The apartment's facilities were good, with a pretty decent layout. Comfortable sofa and a great TV with Netflix. (I believe other apps available, but we didn't use/try.). The WiFi was also very good. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need, including refrigerator, microwave, Toaster, Kettle, dishwasher. etc. Our beds in the main bedroom was super comfortable and we slept very well in there. A fan was made available too, due to the warm weather. There were also no complaints from our children with the comfort of their beds. The outside area was pleasant enough to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine, with the option of a TV to use.

In all honesty, there wasn't very much we could spot on the surface, that would niggle at us. But once you've settled into your new surroundings, you start to notice the little things that stand out. The biggest this that stood out, was that this is a basement apartment. I can't recall seeing this in the listing. Myself and the family were slightly disappointed by this. The next niggle, was that none of the plug sockets in the back bedroom worked. However, this didn't seem to bother anyone too much, so we left as it was and carried on regardless. Likely a blown or tripped fuse in the box. Then come the smaller details. On the surface, the apartment looks awesome. And to be fair, it is actually really good. But slightly tired in places. The cabinet doors in the lounge could do with straightening out. A very rusty planter in the garden. some rotting timber window frames, filthy tile in the garden. (Just one!). Glassware in the kitchen not quite clean. One of the two sinks in the bedroom not functioning as it should. (Water/Drainage). And for these things, I feel the amount we paid for 2 nights (£800+), was probably far more than I would agree to pay. All in all, it's a great place. Just needs a little attention to details, to be bringing in the kind of money that's being charged. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. But probably for around £600-£650 is all I would want to pay.
