MARIA, London

Leicester Square Underground Station is 400 metres away, and Tottenham Court Road and Piccadilly Circus stations are within easy walking distance, providing access to the Elizabeth and Piccadilly lines for direct airport connections. Oxford Street is a five-minute walk, and the Sondheim Theatre is four minutes away. London City Airport is 14 km from the property. The immediate area is packed with dining and nightlife - L'Escargot, Barrafina, and Chotto Matte are all roughly 300 metres away. The street is active late into the night, making it convenient for theatre-goers and those wanting to walk to central attractions, but less suited to travellers needing an early, quiet night.

The apartment offers double rooms and one-bedroom units over three floors without a lift. The double rooms are small - roughly 5 m2 - with a double bed, a desk, and a wardrobe, while the one-bedroom apartment adds a separate living area and sofa bed. All units have a private entrance, parquet floors, heating, a flat-screen TV, and a tea/coffee maker. The kitchenette includes a microwave, refrigerator, stovetop, and kitchenware. Natural noise from the street and nearby bars can be heard, particularly through the windows. Rooms on lower floors and those facing the street are affected most. A fan and earplugs are provided. The shower temperature can be inconsistent. The apartment is best suited for theatre-goers or short city breaks, less so for work travel or light sleepers. A full-size mirror is available only in the hallway.

The apartment does not have a restaurant or serve breakfast. The kitchenette is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, stovetop, kettle, and kitchenware, allowing guests to prepare simple meals. Cutlery, plates, and glasses are provided. Within a 300-metre radius, there are numerous restaurants and bars including L'Escargot, Barrafina, Ceviche Soho, and Chotto Matte, covering French, Spanish, Peruvian, and Italian cuisines. Chinatown is adjacent, with affordable dining and supermarkets. Soho's food scene is a major attraction for those staying here.

Wi-Fi is free and available in the rooms. Express check-in and check-out are standard. A small lobby space can hold luggage before check-in or after check-out, but it is not supervised. Entry is by key access, with CCTV in common areas and outside. The property is non-smoking throughout and does not allow pets. There is no parking available. No housekeeping or room servicing is provided during the stay - the apartment is self-catering, and guests manage their own rubbish disposal. Communication with the host is via the booking platform. Invoice is provided.
