    There is no wifi ! The ad is not lying, they really say there is no wifi available, but I'd never expect a flat/hotel in Londin that there is no internet. The kithcen is well-equiped, but it misses a frying-pan to fry eggs in for breakfast (usually all flats in Londin have one available).

    The location is very good, the size of the flat is also good.

Constant moving of furniture from other buildings/apartments at all hours of the night. No toilet paper . No tea towel. Vacum cleaner broken held together with tape. Filter unclean and blocked with dust and dirt.

    Loved the location and lay out of the apartment

    There was no WIFI and since I was traveling for work, that could have been useful instead of using my personal data plan. Also, there was only 1 toilet paper roll and 1 paper towel roll which usually doesn't happen in hotels.

    Location was great, apartment had all the amenities as listed in their description.

    Well, the booking process is convoluted and excessively regimented. Photo ID of every guest (even if you're not sure if you'll be joined or not). Then a very high security deposit (£350 for one night!). I was dubious if there was ever going to be a property. Then when I arrived no wifi and the interior window had no glass in one panel so the property was cold and noisy.

    The location was excellent and the apartment was well equipped.

    The day before and the day of arrival, i received 3 emails with mandatory things to complete in order to get access to the room. This was VERY stressful, especially when i didn't always have access to wifi / internet while traveling. In every email they said you could NOT bring guests or visitors, if you would get caught, they would deduct money from your deposit and kick you out. I did not like this at all. If I would have known that it was forbidden to bring visitors, I would have chosen a different apartment. This information was not on the website when i booked the stay.

    Really clean and fantastic location! The access to the apartment was very well organized, no problems with the keys or locks. Good communication.

    The check in process was a nightmare! We booked at 7pm for that night and due to delays with emails confirming check in procedure, did not receive the code until 9pm. Emails only sent following two calls to customer service to chase. Shame as otherwise my feedback would be 9/10

    it was fairly difficult to find because of the way monument street is laid out. when I called the management team they could only give me minimal instructions and could not guide me as ‘they had never been’. also £250 security deposit is a lot and 7 business days to return it is too long. The check in procedures and timelines are also overly complicated and stressful.

    the apartment was very conveniently located 5 minutes from the Tower of London and 2 minutes from Monument tube. It was fairly clean with only a few long hairs in the bathroom. it was also fairly modern and had everything you needed for a nights stay in London.

    Mostly minor things; One window didn't close properly (we stayed in winter). Staff were just automated responses - the check in procedure is weird and awkward when you can't get emails on a flight. Lacked consumables like washing powder, one roll of toilet paper, etc. - Expect to go shopping when you arrive. Aluminium fry pan doesn't work on induction cooktop.

    Perfect location, large clean apartment, good heating, two toilets, quiet building, good Indian restaurant next door.

    Enjoyable stay to compensate for needless admin hassle.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Property has a few damaged elements although that didn't really detract from the stay. Biggest frustration was the poor check-in process and trying to get the deposit back. Emails went unanswered (except one) and the check in process depends on you being online when demanded by the owners. You can't check in until you have paid a deposit and we only received details of this at 1130 on the day of check in, when we had booked in October! We then spent an hour chasing the bank at 3pm to hurry up and release funds so we could check in - so that wasted time that we could have used enjoying London and the property could have had the funds earlier had it asked for them. So, the property is good, the check in process and customer service poor.

    Good location, nice property with much more space than a hotel room.

    All in all a good stay, comfortable flat, which was clean and tidy. But no lamps and no Wifi!

    There was no Wifi and there were no working table/standard lamps - all of them had bulbs that didn't work and there were no replacement bulbs (even on request). There is a lot of ambient noise being so close to the main road so don't think that it's a very quiet stay! Oh and there was no pair of scissors! I tiny point... :-)

    The shower is really small. Lots of light bulbs weren't working and the lightning system had some issues. There was just one key, even being mentioned it was for 2 the apartment.

    The location is perfect, right in the center of the city and super easy access to subway. The apartment has a great structure to daily life, unfortunately we didn't have time to use the kitchen, but it's very well structured. The check-in is very simple and organized.

    I was shocked with the large refundable deposit that I had to pay via bank transfer (£500) which I got emailed about after booking the apartment. I think it should be made a bit clearer when booking, rather than in the small print because if you don't have available funds to pay it, you could lose the booking altogether and the fee for the stay. I did receive the deposit back within a couple of days after check out. There were 2 milk sachets in the fridge and some sugar, but a couple of tea bags would have been nice to go with it.

    The location was very central for my destination, it is just a couple of minutes walk from Monument Station. It was clean and comfortable and it has a lovely view of the Shard.

    The apartment needs some repairs. The blinds in the main living area are broken, the sliding back door doesn’t lock properly, there was a drainage issue in the ensuite bathroom, some of the air vents need repairs, there were lots of light bulbs that needed replacing, the bath towels are small and we were not even provided with a T-towel.

    We loved the location and the amount of space the apartment offered us as a family of 4.

    despite the ovation being good as it is a business are all the shops close early and open late at weekend. we had 4 apartments. one the lights and lamps didn’t work there was a lack of glasses in my apartment under my bed was filthy (I dropped something and had to look under the bed for it) when I went in the blinds were closed. when I opened them I realised why. apartments to the front have a view of the street and the Shard the ones at the back look out on a brick wall and ac equipment.

    the location was fab. the apartments had the potential to be outstanding
