We booked this place through Booking,com, the address showed as 6 Union Square, but once we made the reservation we found out that this was only the office and we did not know where our apartment will be until we check in. Luckily, the location we had was very good, 5 minutes walk to the London Bridge in the south bank neighborhood. There are plenty of shops around the apartment and it's a 15 minutes walk toTrafalgar square. The apartment has been totally remodeled, we had two bedrooms with double beds and a sofa bed in the living room. The Kitchen was well appointed with hot water kettle, toaster and coffee maker, there is also a dishwasher, electric over and a medium size refrigerator. There is a washing machine also but we did not used it. The bathroom has a heating rack for the towels and a nice tub. There is a 45 inch satellite TV a nice big table with 6 chairs and a couple of stools by the kitchen granite's counter, over all is a great apartment. But, and it is a big one, the apartment is very hot and noisy, the main door to the balcony is locked because previous guests made too much noise and there was a complain, so the living room gets very hot in the summer. The bedrooms have a window you can open for fresh air but then you can hear the trains going by from the Waterloo station every 5 minutes making a screeching noise every time, and also the traffic from the street below, actually, even with the windows closed you can hear the traffic and the screeching trains, at least until 12:00 AM when they stop until 5:00 AM. My suggestion to management will be to install double windows in the bedrooms and an AC unit for the summer months and then it will be perfect. Also I would like to know ahead of time where will I be staying when I make my booking since we had to arrange transportation from the Airport to the office y then from the office to the apartment itself and it can be a little hectic when traveling with the family and a bunch of luggage.

“Ok but expensive”

I spend 3 months there. The apartment are very well located (the office where you have to get the keys is also nearby). Internet is usually working. As soon as you call the office, they send someone to clean/fix whatever you ask. The sheets are were a bit smelly but the fixed it as well. Overall ... more

The place is quite noisy so ask for an apartment not on the street side.
