Clean, Quiet, Comfy, and Safe
This property is nestled in a tranquil and well-to-do area that lends itself to privacy and quiet. The door to the building is a keyed entry for added security. It is a walk away from Harrods, The V&A, Hyde Park, Brompton Oratory, and two Underground Stations, not to mention multiple bus stops. Inside, the bright apartment is serene, small and cozy (but not cramped)- plenty of room for 2 people to relax after a busy day in London. It is clean and well maintained, and stocked with all that is needed to prepare a meal or snack in the petite kitchen. The loft bed and pull out bed are comfortable and linens are plentiful. The bathroom is spacious and has plenty of hot water for a shower or bath. The apartment guide suggested a small store in the near-by college campus, but there is also a better stocked Sainsbury's Local toward Harrod's (Americans- look for eggs on the shelf, haha). There is a washer/dryer unit that washed great but took a little long to dry. Customer service was fantastic and friendly. Booking the flat was painless and any questions we had about it or London were answered quickly via email (Thanks Alyce!). Our flight came in earlier than check-in time, but we were told we could drop our bags off at the flat and come back when it was ready. When we got there, the housekeeper was there with keys in hand and told us we didn't have to leave. That was a nice gesture after traveling for 12 hours overnight! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone not adverse to a loft bed. If you are looking for something different to do in London besides the usual sites, we really enjoyed afternoon tea at Sketch in Mayfair, and The Borough (food) Market, including Monmouth Coffeehouse. You could also grab some bubble tea at Bubbleology in nearby South Kensington, or other locations around London.
