Property Details

Enjoy your holidays at this modern and comfortable flat, featured in the New York Times Travel Section!

The location: The flat is conveniently located just across the street from the Tower of London and next to the beautiful and historic Trinity Square Gardens. Just a minute's walk from the Tower Hill tube stop, and approximately three minutes from the Tower Gateway DLR, you'll find this flat the ideal London base from which to explore London!

Inside the flat: This flat is equipped with a microwave, oven and stove, fridge and freezer, coffee maker, clothing washer and dryer, TV and DVD player, DVD library (40-50 movies), CD/tape player/radio, CD music library (eclectic mix from classical to country music to classic rock to Glenn Miller to opera to jazz to R&B), small book library (about 40 books), and wireless DSL. The flat rental includes all linens, towels, and cutlery.

Sleeping Arrangements: This flat is perfect for a single, couple, or small family. There is a UK Double bed upstairs (approximately the same as a US Queen) (see photo). There is also a very large, comfy sofa which is six foot two inches between armrests and which makes up nicely into a twin bed if desired, and a $400 UK double size Aero-Bed available for guests' use. (However, I need to say that the 5 person maximum really means 2 parents and 3 children - the flat, at 500 square feet, is just too small to be used by 5 adults.)
