Having a living room and kitchen area was nice, as it allowed us to spread out a bit (unlike most tiny London hotel rooms I have stayed in). The reception staff was very friendly. There were good dining options nearby. It was about an 8 minute walk to the tube station or shops in the opposite direction. Steep stairs up to the the floor, but the building felt secure. The bathroom was the smallest I've seen, but clean and adequate. Our primary issue was how hot the apartment was. We were unable to adjust the thermostat, so had to open the living room window and turn on the provided floor fan. Perhaps management could have helped with the temperature, but we were busy touring during the days and didn't inquire. We didn't mind being a bit away from the city center, so the extra space and kitchen made the tradeoff worthwhile.
