My wife and I and our 16-year old son stayed in this flat for six nights in November. The property is very clean, well-equipped and the beds were comfortable. The location is outstanding - right in the heart of central London. You can walk to numerous restaurants. The tube and shopping are close by as well. The flat is on the 4th floor of a 5 story building that has offices on the first two floors as well as a popular restaurant. The neighborhood is quiet but it's a short walk to Soho and Regent Street. The owner/manger (Sergio) was very responsive. We will absolutely stay here again if our travels bring us back to London.
We spent 16 nights at this condo and enjoyed the neighborhood very much. Several excellent restaurants, numerous coffee shops and friendly people. This is the perfect location for walkabilityâ we walked 16,000 steps our first day!
Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues:
No hot water three times. The boiler stopped working. Was fixed the first time by management and we fixed the next two.
One toilet was inoperable for four days. Management accused usâ not our fault whatsoever.
Washer/Dryer stopped mid wash and an error message appeared. Management had to open the machine. There are no instructions included in the condo
Weather was lovely, so we opened windows.
Very noisy at night, until 1:00AM
Should you stay, do try Merkati and Sergioâs (tell Kosta we said âhelloâ). Both terrific restaurants and right across the street. Hare and Bone is a great hair salon, nearby as well.
Also, the condo is very safe and secure.
This two bedroom flat in fitzrovia is so central to everything an out of towner could want, every major tourist area, restaurants, shopping, supermarkets, Underground, parks.Itâs well supplied with everything a traveller needs, I.e., shampoo, etc. A good choice.
Neatly tucked away between the wealth of Marylebone, the edgy energy of Soho and the grandeur of Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia is peaceful and attractive, home to small media organisations, small pubs and small restaurants and a smattering of decent hotels. Wide streets lined with tall buildings in Victorian brick mingle with cosy side alleys, with a variety of architectural styles from the eighteenth century to the present day, all of it dominated by the BT Tower, one of London's tallest and most iconic buildings. Tottenham Court Road is the major shopping street, and the best place in London to look for home furnishings and electronic goods. The area around Oxford Street mixes good high street shops with pubs and bars catching the overflow from Soho's nightlife. Charlotte Street is a street in Fitzrovia. The southern half of the street has many restaurants and cafes, and a lively nightlife; while the northern part of the street is more mixed in character, and includes the large office building of the advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, and a University College London student hall of residence, Astor College.
