The location also has the fantastic fine dining and cafe culture of Smithfield and Clerkenwell on its doorstep with traditional pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, many cafes and great options for family or late night dining. It is a perfect location for enjoying London, with all the famous landmarks very nearby.

We booked this property bc it has AC & that is not common in London, but an amenity we wanted. (Also feel price reflects for this unit as it is more expensive than units in central London w/o AC). We confirmed closer to stay & we’re told it is not traditional built in AC or unit in apt. There’s a roll around unit you stick out the window. Too late to book anything else. During our stay it was warm in London (to us) & we had to roll the ac unit in from the hallway& put it in the living room as there is no space in the bedroom. The unit is across the street from a meat market that operates from 12 AM- 7 AM. It is LOUD. There are 18 wheelers, forklifts, etc. working all night long. We had to keep the windows open for the AC in the living room and the bedroom had no airflow so windows had to be open. No one slept. The mattress for the “bed(s)” in the living room are about 3inches thick. Slimmest mattress I have ever slept on. No one had a good nights sleep the entire time. The lift was also broken when we got there (no fault of the owner) but it was fixed. On our last night there, we took the elevator after a long day and it broke in between floors. We had to call the fire department. This unit is too small for 4 adults— we had three adults and one child and were always stepping on top of one another. With the trundle bed pulled out, you cannot walk around it into the rest of the living room/kitchen. Location is close to Elizabeth line which is nice but not any big landmarks.

We had the best experience of staying in this apartment during our visit to London. The manager, Rolf, helped us way beyond what you would expect and for that we are vere grateful.

This stay was fantastic. Rolf and Mok were very easy to communicate with and the flat was perfect. Great location, east access to several train lines and restaurants. A great stay for my two teen age daughters and myself.

Excellent location and nicely appointed. Didn’t notice noise from Smithfield Market as long as the windows were shut. Definitely mind the warnings about the lift as it’s very sensitive (3 of us ended up getting stuck at one point), but in general we had a very positive experience. Great base for exploring London, and it’s easily accessible to Heathrow via the Elizabeth Line. Would stay there again!

The location is great, especially on weekends when it's quiet. I absolutely loved looking out at the city scape and the sky. With a park opposite you aren't fenced in at all. There is a wholesale night market 2am-10am which is noisy with windows open but with windows closed you can't hear it. The space is small but clean and had everything we needed. There is a foyer area which we found very handy for the clothes horse. The hosts were really helpful with all the info we needed. I'd stay there again for sure!
