London is a very expensive city to get somewhere to stay, so this was a really good option for the price. Nice neighborhood around the area with a ton of good restaurant choices. Locals are around the area and sometimes during the week days there were farmers markets/stalls for food here too. Great coffee shop nearby. Was a little far from train stations, 10-15 minute walk to get to the main ones like circle line or elizabeth, but again for this price you are not going to get anything better.

Great apartments these with food on the doorstep, a pub and an all round lovely city aesthetic. Minutes from Old Street, Barbican and Farringdon. Can’t recommend these enough.

The check in was a bit of a faff but otherwise the apartment is really good. The location is great, I know this area a little bit and love going back. There is a supermarket very close by and plenty of bars and restaurants. It is a little rough around the edges when you look closely (some plug sockets have seen better days and the mattress could do with an upgrade) but the apartment is well appointed. You could easily spend a few days here and be very satisfied with your choice of accomodation.

I was worried after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Clean and comfortable. Only recommendation would be the bedroom drawers need fixing but no biggie. Lovely big shower. Lots of stairs to the top floor but no problem if you’re fit. The staff are very friendly

Lovely tiny apartmen

Lovely small apartment for family of three. For cleaness could take more notice. Late checkout is available, for us it was 11 am and it cost 15 £ how ever the the cleaner came at 10:30 am so we actually got 30 min of late checkout... overall nice place to be, 30 minutes from Westminster station by underground.

We found the staff very nice and helpful. When we had any queries they were happy to help in a timely manner which made the journey from Manchester much less stressful. The apartment itself was great, kitchen fully equipped which was a bonus. Check in was easy and having a keycode rather than an actual key was more practical. Everything worked fine and it is very central so we managed to walk everywhere instead of taking public transport. Overall, I would definitely stay again and would recommend this place. Thank you for having us!

Overall the apartment was a good size for the location and super convenient, unfortunately the toilet had remains from the last user still in there and there was debris on the floor of the bedroom. Generally the bathroom was a little tired feeling, tape on the shower pole etc. The fan was appreciated as the apartment was extremely hot but I did stay during exceptionally hot weather. The curtains were too thin to allow me to sleep past sunrise so replacing those with blackout curtains would have increased my comfort considerably. Really easy to check in and the area felt safe. Just more attention to detail in cleaning would be good.

Doors between bedroom and living-room, as well as between bedroom and bathroom are made of glass with large gaps under and over. That means zero noise or (in case of bathroom) smell insulation. To top it, bathroom door has no handle from the side of bedroom, so you can only close it from the inside. Once you are out, it stays open. All smells and damp go into the bedroom. Everything in the apartment is done "quickly-fix-it-who-cares", so parts of the kitchen furniture fall onto your toes, for example. We were happy we had just one night here. Ok for a night for low price. Pretty quiet at night, close to metro.
