Excelente relação custo/beneficio
Pros:

O apartamento é espaçoso e possui todas as comodidades necessárias para uma boa estadia. Cama e sofá cama confortáveis, banheiro limpo e espaçoso, cozinha bem equipada e funcional.
Tem um mercado express logo na saída do edifício com tudo o que podemos precisar, próximo a estação de metro Borough e a poucos minutos de caminhada da London Bridge.
Nossa família de 4 pessoas ficou confortavelmente instalada em um apartamento de 1 quarto.

Cons:

Poderiam fornecer o serviço de limpeza para diárias com menos de 7 dias, não foi um problema em si, mas uma troca de toalhas depois de 3 dias seria agradável.

Pros:

Ottima posizione centrale vicino alla fermata della metro Borough e non troppo distante da quella di London Bridge. Quartiere molto carino e vivo con diversi negozi e supermercati vicini.
Ci è stata assegnata una camera al quarto piano con vista sui palazzi interni; ben diversa dalle foto presenti sul sito.
Cucina accessoriata con tutto ciò che serve per un breve soggiorno.

Cons:

Abbiamo preferito non utilizzare la lavastoviglie perché aveva la muffa all'interno, probabilmente dovuta al poco utilizzo e al fatto che rimane sempre chiusa.
Divano completamente sfondato e scomodo anche solo per una semplice seduta (non lo abbiamo utilizzato per dormire).
Mancanza di appendini sia all'ingresso che in bagno.
L'accoglienza alla reception è stata decisamente fredda, poco orientata all'attenzione che un turista si aspetterebbe.
