The Perfect Place in Central London
Review Submitted: September 14, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
I stayed in this flat for three weeks last August and I really enjoyed it, hope to stay there again soon. The location is perfect, there are two underground stations very close (great Portland street and regent's park) but you can also get a lot of buses from a bus stop that is 50 meters away. You can also walk to the very city centre, oxford circus is 10 minutes away. The area around the apartment is really nice and
elegant, great Portland street, that is next to Hallam street, is full of shops and if you walk 10 minutes you can get to high Marylebone street that is really beautiful and with many beautiful shops,restaurant, bar and a really nice supermarket (Waitrose) where I usually did the shopping and where you can find fresh meat, fish, lots of different cheeses and international delicatessens.
If you need the internet there's a newsagent next to warren street, 5 minutes far, with very convenient prices. If instead you like jogging or just a relaxing reading under a tree you can go to Regent's park, which is very beautiful. Another important thing to say is that the area is very safe, also late in the evening.
Speaking about the flat it is at the third floor (with an elevator) of a nice well-keep building whose porter was kind and helpful with me. About the flat I have to say that it looked bigger than I though, the kitchen and the bathroom are well separated from the main room and I liked it. The kitchen is small but there is everything you need in it to make a good meal, the bathroom is new.
The main room is bright with a big window, the bed is comfortable and if you want you can tip up it into the cupboard making the room even bigger, a great thing is that there no carpet that I don't like very much but there's wood floor that's easy to clean. The owner, was really nice and friendly to me, and she left me in the flat a little book with many useful tips in it.
To conclude I really recommend this flat to anyone, for its position, its condition and everything. At the end of my three weeks there I got very fond of it and of the area, I was quite sad to leave but I hope to come back as soon as I can.
Owner's Response: The location of the flat is indeed a great bonus, and being in the centre, it has the added advantage that if you do not want to walk to or from the sights of your choice, there will always be a Taxi close by.
