This property is just as described. It’s small, but roomy enough for 2-3 people. The area has a bunch of places to grab a few items you may have forgotten and is close to the store to buy groceries. There is a cute market right outside the door but this is no way bothered us. The whole neighbor was nice and we felt very safe. Very affordable place to stay in London.

Beautiful apartment/flat in a thriving part of Elephant and Castle. Really enjoyed having the East Street market right nearby. Lots of shops and restaurants and pubs nearby made for a lively neighborhood while still providing quiet at night and quick access (25-30 minutes) to nearly all parts of central London.Property was quiet, warm, and dark enough to sleep in late while I was recovering from jet lag. The market setup at 6 AM did create a small amount of noise, but not enough to ruin my sleep. Well-stocked kitchen let me make breakfast quickly in the morning while getting ready to start my day.

Appartement et immeuble bien entretenus et propre! Très bien placé à 5 min des bus pour le centre de Londres et les lieux touristiques en 15-20 min de bus à peine! Quartier populaire mais fréquenté même le centre pas de sentiments d’insécurité même en retrait après 22h (nous étions 2 filles aucun soucis!)Je recomande
