Great Apartment. Great Location. Spacious. Safe.
I wanted to stay in a full service apartment rather than a small hotel room. I had an excellent time in the beautiful modern apartment the perfect location in Covent Garden. Very walkable to almost every thing. The apartment was comfortable and spacious, and clean. Check-in procedure was easy. Management company is was well organized. The beds were comfortable. Upstairs living room/kitchen balcony space was amazing. It was great having a full service apartment rather than a hotel room. It was great to have a kitchen and laundry machine. I highly recommend this apartment. The location is vey vibrant and safe.
The only drawback was a lack of cabinet/drawers to unpack your clothes. There is plenty of closet space for hanging clothes.
I would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay. Nice 2BR ensuite APARTMENT with a loft Living room. Kitchen equipped with W/M and D/W. We had a nice stay, especially in the heart London with all points of interest, restaurants etc around.
The only negative were the rounded flight of stairs, which led to some discomfort with suitcases being brought up, especially to 3rd floor.

Great location, rotten sleep
Check in was easy, we loved the location and shower was great! However, it was rather noisy, the bed was quite uncomfortable, living room furniture was limited, and the space was over-heated. We left feeling rather exhausted after two tough night's sleep.

Adequate but tired
The location is the winning factor for this property. Communications were a bit 'lecture/school teacher like' but did provide all the info I needed. The property is tired, broken sofa, broken blinds, but the bed was comfortable and the bedroom quiet and dark (as you'd want). Poor toiletries provided (barely enough for 1 night - I stayed 4) and poor/no discernible eco/recycling efforts. I suppose the summary is it was adequate but there are better properties for the money in the same area.

Great location, and a cosy apartment unit furnished properly for two people. It was great as far as easy access to so many points of interest is concerned (museums, eateries, theaters etc.)
If you are intending to conduct a little bit of work through internet connection at the property, forget it! You will find a low bandwidth, totally unreliable service. Area is full of pubs and eateries, which makes it a bit noisy during night (into the late night).

It was difficult to find and we were on the fourth floor which was difficult for my elderly mother. But once we got into the room it was absolutely perfect!!! The house was clean and had everything we needed for the night. We ate dinner at the dining room table and opened the large panel sliding glass door to let the night air in - amazing!! The property is very walkable which was most important to us. Also, there was a washer/dryer so we were able to do laundry. It took FOREVER to dry but other than that, it was great. The location made this property perfect!!!

Good location, warm and noisy
Apartment has a good location, just by Trafalgar square. Placement between chinese restaurant and pubs gives chinese food smell through windows and on terrace all afternoons and a lot of noise from the pub until 11PM. Apartment is not ventilated and gets warm, outside temperature was around 20 during our stay and inside 25-28 degrees. Summers must be very warm.
Check in was delayed as cleaning was not done on time, so we had to stay outside building in the rain 30-40 minutes which was not nice. Very hard to understand the person managing the phone as english was not great, emails are good though. A bit cumbersome check-in process with passport submissions and credit card verification before getting access could be better.
Some left over clothes including used underwear was still placed in some of the drawers in a bedrom, this was not nice!!
The apartment was okay enough, sufficient space and two bed rooms. Some maintenance needed though, tiles almost loose in bathroom floor and wear and tear on ealls, floor, doors etc. windows were double with very old outer windows which need replacement. Good kitchen space but we did not use it other than refrigerator.
If you are not picky and can sleep in warm and noisy bedroom then OK pick, but would avoid during summer as it will be way too hot.

So the good, the bad, and the ugly of this choice.
First, the good. The location cannot be beat. The flats are within walking distance of four or five tube stations, hundreds of restaurants and pubs, as well as a dozen or so landmarks. For the price, this is an excellent choice for people that don’t need hotel amenities during their stay.
I really cannot stress enough just how much I loved the location. First night, we walked one block and were able to stop the fridge from one of the local groceries. Were able to take a break in the middle of each day because of its vicinity to several tube stations as well. we were there seven nights, saw five shows, and the flat was within a 15 minute walk of six of those shows.
The bad. The stairs getting to the flat are exceptionally narrow. We were lucky in that we had the flat on the second floor, so we only had two flights of stairs each time. So if you have an issue with stairs, this would definitely be a challenging place for you. Also, the flat is hot and there is no way to cool it off. The windows open, but they don’t provide much of ventilation and absolutely no Crossbreeze. There is a fan provided, but it might be one of the most useless fans I’ve ever seen.
Finally, the ugly. The toilet is smaller than most American closets. It is extremely hot and narrow. Very uncomfortable.
Still a 5 star review largely due to the location and price!! Would definitely stay there on a return trip.

This was an absolutely awful experience. No working wifi, stuffy and extremely loud with the police station across the street. In addition the management never fixed the wifi during my stay and proceeded to argue and accuse us of lying. I’ve never experienced such a hostile host.

Late check in. The host instructed us to not to get there before 3pm. We got there at 320 and the cleaning lady was just starting the cleanup. It took her 2 hours to clean so we had to sit on the side to wait for her to finish so that we could get get ready and leave for our event that evening. Wifi did not work the 3 days we were there. The sofa in teh living area had stains and all the window blinds were broken.

Opp police station
The apartment is nice on the surface and clean enough. But it was SO hot and SO loud. It's opposite a police station and at minimum every hour through the night a police car came past with the sirens on and it felt like they were in the room. Which sadly meant no sleep at all.
