Excellent location, a few glitches
The great:
âą Location! It could not have been better. The flat is located in a building at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac that opens onto Brompton Road. The nearest tube station (Knightsbridge, on the Piccadilly line) is an easy 10-minute walk, and is right next to Harrodâs. Brompton Road has lots of shopping, from Harrodâs and Harvey Nichols to Boots, and small versions of Waitrose and Sainsbury for groceries.
The good:
âą The layout of the flat itself, and its amenities. While tiny by US standards, the kitchen is updated and has everything necessary to prepare meals. Thereâs also a washer/dryer. The living/dining area is spacious. The bedroom is small but still has two closets and a chest of drawers. The bathroom has also been updated and has a large tub/shower.
The less-than-good:
âą Lighting. In the living area itâs inadequate. The room has no overhead lighting, and the lamps provided simply donât illuminate the room well enough anywhere to even read a book. In the bedroom we could never get the bedside lamp to work at all. Overall, the only place where we could read books was sitting on the bed using the overhead bedroom light. This was important, because the flat does not have a tv so we had to use our books and iPads for entertainment.
âą The bed. It wasnât very comfortable. The mattress was strangely bumpy and seemed to drop off on the sides. Also, the only cover provided was a thick duvet that was much warmer than we needed or wanted.
Final note: No tv!
