Stayed with my family (wife and a 12-year-old child) and our experience was delightful. This is nicely remodeled modern property with some historical twists.
Positives:
- Location right by Borough Market and Borough Yards with cozy restaurants and bars, close to a tube station (we used Uber though).
- Spacious balcony with patio chairs and a view to Shard tower and Borough Market.
- Modern kitchen with everything possible you would need for a short stay.
- Couch in the living room could fit our child even without unfolding
- Extra bedding was available for our child at the master bedroom’s closet
- Nice TV with Netflix (although we didn’t have time to use it)
- Cool and authentic old English-style bathroom
- Comfortable bed (seems like Queen size)
- Table with chairs at the kitchen that I used also as a working station
Needs some improvement (although these things were not a big deal for us):
- Left vanity light didn’t work in the bathroom
- Toilet paper holder was obviously broken
- Lion door knocker was a bit detached on the right side
Some things we were ok with, but I guess people need to know it in advance:
- No elevator, 2 narrow stair cases
- Extremely squeaky floor on the bedroom/bathroom level
- Pictures show a super long balcony, it’s actually a half of it because another half is for your neighbors from the next apartment.
Overall, we as a family had a great experience, explored restaurants and Tower Bridge by foot.
