London holiday apartment: Battersea, Wandsworth

This condo in the upscale Battersea Reach condo complex was convenient to just about everything! Five minute walk to the Southwest Train line where we could access Roehampton and Putney, buses outside the complex for travel to mainline tube stations, a convenience grocery on site, as well as a full service market about 15 minutes walk across Wandsworth Bridge. Restaurants were plentiful across the bridge and there was even a lovely eatery on site. Concierge was friendly and very helpful when we had questions.

Unit was well maintained, with high tech appliances and ample storage. We prepared our breakfasts, some lunches and several dinners in the unit while enjoying the beautiful view of the Thames. The weather was rather warm for London, but since the condo was on the 8th floor, evening breezes quickly cooled down the apartment. A fan was available for our use.

Combined washer/dryer does not hold very many clothes, so we needed to run several loads while on our trip. Step into bathtub is very deep so difficult to get in and out. Hot water was somewhat difficult to control in the shower, and we believe the owner should have spent some time at check-in reviewing the particulars of the unit including operation of the appliances and hot water heater (we are not familiar with Siemens appliances.) Beds were queen and double, but the matresses tended to be less firm than what we were accustomed to. During our stay, sheets and towels were changed and the unit cleaned once, as promised by the owner. Wireless internet was generally reliable. Doors to rooms did not remain open except by propping them, thereby affected air circulation.

All in all, a very convenient, high end unit that was generally comfortable and most definitely safe. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and would rebook in the future.

I thought twice prior to writing this review.......the apartment and area was so good it should be kept a secret!! Danny was very helpful and I cannot fault the apartment. It has all required for a business trip or holiday.
Train station nearby, shop, pub, lovely views and very quiet.
I am looking forward to returning and would not plan to stay anywhere else other than this apartment in the future.

With 2 adults and a teenager we spend 4 nights in this wonderful apartment. It was the right decision not to go to a hotel! We had enough free space to relax after a long day with sightseeing in London. Everything is new,spacious and clean and we loved to stay there. The view over the Thames is marvelous. The little supermarket in one of the 4 buildings is really helpful to buy everything for breakfast. The Overground station Wandsworth Town is a 5 minute walk away from the apartment. Trains to London Waterloo go very often and need around 15 minutes. From Waterloo you can switch to Underground.
With 3 people who might need two rooms in a hotel this is a very good alternative for sightseeing in London. For our next trip to London we will come back!
