Penthouse-o-rama!
Submitted: May 9, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
Our trip to London was a gift to our best friend, who just got married. My favourite part of the weekend, was when she arrived at the appartement, and - champagne glass in hand - went from room to room, from terrace to terrace to take it all in. The place looks really impressive (although not as new and perfect as in the pictures) - the view and the light makes it quite glamorous. (Actually, we kept joking about the place looking like one of those you see in realityshows like Top Model.) We we´re eleven people staying in the Penthouse, and still it didnt feel to crowded. And we (almost) had room for everyone round the table for breakfast. It was easy to find and get to by public transport, and the only trouble we had when staying there, was that it took us some time to figure out how the hightech coffemaker worked ; ) Some of us also had some trouble sleeping, because of all the windows with no blinds. Others found it a treat to be waken up by the sun..
For a large group like us, this was the perfect place to stay, and so much better than a hotel.
Owner's Response: Hi Guri,
Thank you very much for your review of your recent stay.
The space is amazing and a large group can really get comfortable and yet share all of the space together....especially the large table and chairs on the Large Terrace !!
The great thing about this penthouse is that its on 3 floors and on each floor you can get to the outside to view what London has to offer......simply stunning views !! I am really pleased that this worked out for you all.
It is a really lovely bright penthouse with large windows and we understand that some people like to wake up to a lovely natural light and some people dont. This is why in 2 of the bedrooms we have blinds and curtains for the windows to close of a lot of the light.
Not really sure about your comment regarding the photos as everybody that comes here says its exactly as the photos are but the space is bigger than they imagined. since the photos were taken we have put Oak floors in all of the bedrooms instead of carpet which I think is a great improvement. also replaced some pictures,vases, rug etc. Overall I would say that the Penthouse has improved since the photos. The "Bean to Cup " coffeemaker can be a little confusing but its worth it to get that nice fresh coffee. all instruction booklets are in the drawer to help you further.
Once again thank you for choosing the penthouse for your celebration. I hope to welcome you again.
Warmest Regards
Robert
