London Stay
Location: walking distance to many attractions; however, the area nightlife is quiet on weekends. In fact, there are only a couple of restaurants that are open and quickly reserved as pubs do not serve dinner on Sunday nights. Except in the bedroom, which is triple glazed, there is noise heard in the living/kitchen sleeping area throughout the night from the trucks unloading at the Smithfield Market across the street.
Necessities: appliances work; most importantly, the beds are comfortable as as the linens. However, international guests would greatly benefit from more lamps (not harsh general lighting) to get through the dark hours of jet lag.
Apartment: there was some thought put in to make the apartment attractive and unique (the painting scheme, antiques, dinnerware); however, there are a few things that do need to be replaced or repaired (missing towel bar; broken bedroom lamp; fraying "cut" carpet in the hallway) to prevent it from looking shabby.
If these details were taken care of, then I would highly recommend the property to those using only the bedroom for sleeping (or for heavy sleepers).
