Perfect for flexibility
Very friendly, helpful staff and the duplex had everything you needed, with little extras like books and a hairdryer - there was even a yoga/exercise mat. Would definitely recommend for a stay in London if you wanted to have the freedom and flexibility to not have to eat out all the time.

We loved it here! The room aesthetic made it so comfortable and welcoming to come back to after each day. It is also located in a great area but far enough away from the busy city. Will definitely stay here again.
