"Overall I would recommend staying here if you need a small kitchen during your stay. The area are great, and the flat was fairly clean (some dust and hair in sinks and floor). The hairdryer was great, but I only wish you could plug it in near a mirror. The outlet in the bathroom is for razors only. (bathroom is really designed for a man) I brought a travel mirror, which I had to use in the bedroom with the blow dryer. Also, the rain style shower head is not very strong and i had a hard time...

"We had a great time in a huge 1-bedroom perfectly located to get us to both The Globe & the Barbican (& Covent Garden) in about 10-20 minutes walk each way. The staff was great but we did have a few small issues — a fire alarm went off two mornings in a row; we couldn’t turn off the unit’s heat; no one seemed to tidy the room or change the towels even after a full week’s stay. But the people at the front desk were lovely and ultimately I am fairly certain we will be staying here again. Gorgeous...
