This was a lovely clean spot, easily accessible for downtown london. my mum and i stayed 5 days - she has mobility issues but the stairs to the flat were fine. the closest bus/tube were a tad far so we used uber a lot. i would recommend the flat - antonia was very accessible and helpful.

Perfect Place to Stay
This unit was the perfect accommodation for our visit to London! The location was excellent, a short walk away to attractions and the train. The flat was spacious and had tons of natural light. The hostess was very helpful, answering our questions and letting us arrive early. We will return!

A well equipped flat in an interesting neighbourhood
This flat is fairly spacious for London and is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine and plenty of kitchen stuff. However, we never did find the hot tub/spa or BBQ and there was no mention of where they might be in the welcome manual.
There are lots of interesting places to explore nearby. Damien Hirst's galley, The Garden Museum, a great pub The Jolly Gardeners and a Super Tesco about a 12 minute walk. Tube transportation is a bit of a walk away ( Lambeth North or Vauxall ) but if you can figure out the buses walk across the Lambeth Bridge ( 5 mins) and you can go everywhere. You can walk that way to the Tate Britain and you are a close walk to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. I would suggest an update of the welcome book for more options :)
However, I am astonished that no one mentioned the constant noise of the overground trains very close by, day and night. This is a cool neighbourhood to explore and a comfortable place to stay. Good communication by Antonia the host.

Fab!!
It was wonderful. All instructions were very clear, location perfect, very clean, and it was quite comfortable.
The only concern I would add is the shower access was a bit slippery and could be challenging for someone with limited mobility. Otherwise, we greatly enjoyed ourselves!!

Everything as expected / convenient enough transport options
Everything matched the listing. Transportation was simple enough especially considering several buses were not servicing during our stay due to the King’s birthday procession review and the champion’s league happening over the weekend.
The host was flexible with us accommodating our check-in and overall we had a great stay

Comfortable residential neighborhood
We spent 8 days here in April. We attended concerts and theater every night. This flat is so close to West End and the National Theatre we were able to walk back along the Themes after 6 of the 8 performances. The kitchen is so well equipped and we were able to wash clothes there as well. Plus, they have loads of really interesting books! We would stay here again.
