There is no elevator in this 4 story building and our bedrooms were on the 3rd floor, it is extremely difficult to carry the luggage all the way! There is also a very ancient fire alarm system and the were no way to turn it off, so we’ve had a visit of firefighters

Great, cool, artistic flat in a great part of town. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The only criticism is that the internet went out and, despite requests, it was not fixed.

This 3 level apartment provided our family with a great base for exploring London. Close enough to walk to many of our destinations it was roomy with 3 bedrooms and 2 convertible sofas. The property manager was responsive when we had questions (look behind the sofas for the linens!) and made the check-in very easy. The 2 decks made for wonder extended space for our large group.

The house was very nice and the location was great. It was very hot during our stay and the flat has no air conditioning, but we kept the windows open and used the fans provided which really helped.

We enjoyed the location of the property. It was quiet and near several restaurants and shopping, the Underground, The British Museum, and other sights are in walking or Uber distance. We had a great time in London. Be prepared to walk up a lot of steps to get to the penthouse and from level to level. There is no lift/elevator.
