It was a pleasant enough stay overall. It was not my first choice and won't be next time either.
Pros:

Location and apartment had mostly good facilities. Staff were pleasant enough (but very inflexible on a few things)

Cons:

The lack of airconditioning, only 1 fan for the entire apartment and cleaning was only once during my 14 day stay. I did not like that at all.

Pricey but convenient, lacking amenities.
Pros:

Perfect location close to the tube and shops. Easy and convenient. Nice size apartment and comfortable.

Cons:

No air conditioning and for a building that size and price, it was unbearably hot in the unit. A fan was provided but it was in poor condition, and with the sun streaming into the unit, there was no escape from the heat. Elevators are very slow and tiny.

Lovely and experential stay

Fabulous location, spacious, clean well arranged rooms with good views. Staff is friendly, proficient and courteous. Maria, Sarika, Busra, Arun, Libya and all their colleagues made our stay experience a home-away-from-home.
