"Enjoy!"
This is really a jewel of an experience. The flat is comfortable and has everything required. The small courtyard is perfect for coffee and some morning/evening air. The big surprise is this centrally located but lovely residential vibe. You get to stroll to get your morning coffe and croissant and if yoiu need a late night run to the convenience store or another bottle of wine or a quick haircut or manicure, it's all within a couple of blocks. The complete opposite of the impersonal hotel experience. Enjoy!

"Lovely and warm apartment"
The apartment is exactly as in the photos. It is a lovely and warm apartment supplied with all the things you need to spend some days in London. It is close to the bus stop and Pimlico tube station. There is a nice pub (The Grosvenor) very close to the apartment and not so far there is a Tesco express. A staff member greeted us in the apartment very late at night due to our flight delay. He was very communicative and helpful, thank you very much! I would stay there again, definitely.
