Great apartment in great location

We enjoyed our weeklong stay in this apartment with our four children (ages 16-23) in late December. Everything was great and it totally met our needs. The location is great - an easy walk to Victoria Station and bus stops that serve all of the central London locations that we visited (get the TfL Go app), and easy walk to Buckingham Palace / St. James Park. The grocery store is close by and we made a few meals in the kitchen, and there are several great restaurants within a one block walk. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice location in London

The property was a great landing spot to explore London. We chose it based on the proximity to Victoria Station, but were pleasantly surprised by the GREAT food everywhere just at the corner. The rooms on the uppermost level were a bit small for people and luggage but we all managed for as much as we were in the house. The kitchen and table were great on the lower level for a good game of Uno each night. The grocery store right around the corner was also key. Would consider staying here again when visiting!!
