Hotel Details

Location

The apartment is in a central London residential area, a 15-minute walk from Liverpool Street Underground Station.
Liverpool Street station is 1 km away, providing direct links across London and to Stansted Airport. Old Street underground station (Northern line) is within a 10-minute walk, and bus route 55 runs from the doorstep to Oxford Circus. St Paul's Cathedral and Brick Lane are both 2 km away; the Tower of London is 3 km and Sky Garden 2 km. The neighbourhood is lined with supermarkets, cafés, pubs, and a daily food market on the adjacent street. London City Airport is 12 km from the property. The well-served area suits travellers wanting to explore the City and central sights on foot or by public transport.

Accommodation

The apartment has one bedroom, a separate living room, a kitchen, and a modern bathroom with a shower.
The bedroom is set away from the street, contributing to a quiet sleep, and includes a comfortable bed with a good choice of pillows. The living room contains sofas, a dining area, and a sofa-bed, plus a flat-screen TV. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, and basic cookware and utensils - though the number of cutlery items and kitchen tools is limited, so longer stays may need to bring a few extras. Flooring is parquet throughout, and the rooms are soundproofed. No balcony is available. The apartment is accessed via a keyless entry code emailed on the day of arrival.

Wellness and Leisure

There is no spa, swimming pool, or gym on site.
The property does not have a spa, wellness centre, or swimming pool. For exercise or relaxation, the surrounding residential area offers pleasant streets for walking or jogging, and the nearby markets and parks (including the Barbican Centre gardens and St Paul's Churchyard) are within easy reach. Boating is available in the local surroundings, and the area is well connected to London's many cultural and leisure venues. Guests seeking on-site fitness or spa facilities should look elsewhere, as this apartment focuses on self-contained living rather than hotel-style recreation.
