As well as the various amenities listed elsewhere on this site, we provide ample cleaning materials, good quality bed linen and towels. Basic supplies such as shampoo and soap and bathroom tissue are supplied.
Local environment:
Despite being about 5 minutes' walk from a major international terminus, the area is residential and quiet with very little car traffic. There are two gastropubs within a short walk from the apartment that have outside tables and are open until 11pm. In summer there can be some street noise from people enjoying their meals and drinks.
A word about relative size:
Please be aware that this is central London; I'm personally absolutely thrilled to have so much space in such a great location, but the concept of space is relative. Occasionally, guests used to larger homes in cities with more space have expressed surprise at the size. We have no wish to disappoint any of our travelers, so do think carefully about your travel party's space needs; if you want more space for the same price you will have to look for a place less centrally. If you want more space in the same area, you will have to pay more.
Timing of access:
The official check in time is 2pm, but if the property is not occupied the previous night we can arrange earlier. We will clearly negotiate check in times prior to your travel but as we are private individuals with full time jobs, we can only make last minute changes to arrangements in emergencies, such as travel delays. If you need more flexibility than that, please tell us in advance.
During your stay:
We have prepared a file with suggestions for local shops, restaurants and services that we can personally recommend. We can help with your travel plans, if you need us. If there is any problem with your accommodation, we will sort it out promptly.
Arrival:
If you need to arrive at late hour (after 6pm) we do understand - international travel doesn't always land you where you want to be when you want to be there. But please let us know well in advance - we all work full time and both have families, so we cant always be were you might wish us to be exactly when you prefer it. We will do our very best to accommodate you but if it's a really odd time of the day or night, we may have to pay someone to come and let you in and charge a modest late check-in fee. Advance warning really helps us to help you best.
