The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable for our stay. Great view of the "Gherkin" building, and a partial view of the Shard. Even though it's in the middle of a bustling area, the apartment was very quiet, we weren't disturbed by outside noise at all, nor indoor from neighbors. The concierges in the building were extremely helpful on our arrival and departure, a real boon when you are moving luggage. Communications with owner Anthony were very easy.
The apartment is located a short walk from 3 underground stations and a national rail station, offering a multitude of different rail lines to get anywhere in London or beyond - so, a brilliant location. We could get to both sides of the Thames with very short walks, and enjoyed many different restaurants, pubs and attractions. Hopping on the underground and using tap-to-pay made day trips so easy.
Recommendations for things to do and see (and not):
- The Shard - The View at the Shard is a little spendy but well worth it.
- Afternoon Tea at Ting, in the Shard... honestly, very very expensive and not worth the price. Do The View at the Shard instead, and go somewhere else for afternoon tea.
- Discount Suit Company cocktail bar is in walking distance and very fun.
- The Attendant cafe - well worth the trip to get an excellent breakfast or lunch in a very different kind of place!
We look forward to returning here in the future when we go back to London again. Thanks for hosting, Anthony!
