Great place in the middle of a very lively neighborhood. The apartment is a decent sized space (particularly if you include the roof deck) for the area. Communication was also great.

Excellent place. Central location for many attractions. Plenty of space for our family of 4. The private roof top patio is the best.

What a great spot! Awesome location in Soho and close to transit. The rooftop terrace was a terrific place to chill for a bit away from the lively streets. The unit had everything we needed plus a great sense of humor in the decor. Thank you Frankie!

Great location, in the heart of SoHo! The living room area can be a bit noisy on weekends. The bedroom was quiet at all hours. The hosts communicated well. Will stay here again. Thanks!
The location of this flat is undoubtedly unbeatable and the roof terrace in Central London is the key feature of this flat that obviously gives it a unique edge. However in doing so, several really quite basic things that should have been considered were not, which made the stay unnecessarily arduous. The biggest challenge is the heat inside the flat. According to the thermostat in the hallway, the temperature not drop below 29 degrees for the entire time I was there, despite 2 fans being provided and all windows open, meaning it was almost impossible to sleep. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable also, with the pillows having this very strong musky smell which clearly belonged to the pillow itself as opposed to the pillow cases. 'Frankie Says' in general I felt gave very impersonal communication. Every interaction with them felt like their responses had been written by AI, and they only ever signed themselves "The Frankie Says team," meaning I didn't really have any idea who I was talking to. They will also absolutely rinse you for every penny you have. Check-out was at 10AM. If you want to check out at 11AM, an extra 31.50. Want to check out at midday, an extra 52.50. Want non-espresso coffee pods for the Nespresso machine that they provide? 15.75! Despite the fact a packet of 10 Nespresso-branded pods are usually 4.60. Also, IT DOES NOT SLEEP 4 PEOPLE! There is 1 x double bed and a sofa bed which pulls out, but the street is so noisy, you won't sleep!

I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you faced, and I assure you we are committed to enhancing our guests’ experiences. Your comments will help us make necessary improvements moving forward. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
The flat was fun and great for having a few friends over to enjoy the rooftop and great views. The living room is a nice size,
nicely decorated, and great for entertaining. There is some wear and tear but nothing too bad. The unit is very clean and there were extra towels inside the sofa bed that was nice. There are two large windows that slide open - great views into Old Compton. The bedroom is surprisingly quiet - there’s a door to close off the living room and then the bedroom door itself so you do not hear street noise at night. There is however some sort of motor that cranks up after midnight and runs most of the night. We’re not sure what that was?
Our only complaint is the bed. It was advertised as a king size bed in the listing (one of our few requirements.) To our dismay it was smaller than a queen size - my guess is it is a full sized bed? The bedroom is small and cramped so a king size probably would not fit. The bed is moderately comfortable.
But overall a very nice stay. The shower never ran out of hot water. When entering the building downstairs you have to pull the second door pretty hard. At first we thought it was not unlocking- pull it hard. Communication was good.
