Large apartment and good location
Overall, it was a good stay.
Pros
1- The apartment has air conditioning, a split unit and a portable unit. We were in an unairconditioned vrvo apartment in Paris so this was much appreciated.
2- We have 3 teen boys so having 3 beds in one of the rooms was key. The room was large enough to accommodate 3 beds.
3- There is a washing machine in the kitchen. Washer dryer combo. Drying doesn’t work well.
4- Good location. The apartment is near the northeast corner of Hyde Park. You can walk to Marble Arch Underground in less than 5 minutes. Paddington station is ~15-minutes (walking). This is helpful if you’re traveling through Heathrow. You can walk to Harrods or Buckingham Palace in ~25 minutes. Notting Hill, Mayfair, Westminster, etc. are all easily walkable.
Cons
1- The apartment building is somewhat rundown and is on a very busy street. However, the apartment has decent sound proofing and is on the 3rd floor.
2- A few things in the kitchen and bathrooms are broken. Issues are mostly cosmetic (vs functional). I recommend the owner hire a handyman for an afternoon to correct some of the issues (vs doing the stuff themselves…I can do a better job with silicone waterproofing in the bathrooms.)
3- Having 1 set of keys is an issue.
