Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Apartment-style layouts with kitchenettes
- Excellent soundproofing despite the busy location
- Pet-friendly policy that actually welcomes dogs
Szybki przegląd: It's a glorified serviced apartment that makes you do your own dishes to avoid a fee, but the location and space make it worth the hassle.
Przejrzane przez @stylenecessity: I honestly didn't expect the lobby to be this lively! The DJ set was a vibe, but I loved that my room had a full kitchen for a quiet night in. It’s the perfect mix of a trendy social spot and a private apartment. Definitely request a high floor if you want total silence!

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'Self-Clean' Ultimatum: You are essentially a maid on your last day unless you want to pay £20.
💡The Lobby Confusion: There are two reception desks (Hotel vs. Dao) and delivery drivers often get lost between them.
💡The Missing Dishwasher: Not every 'fully equipped' kitchen actually has a dishwasher—check the fine print.

💡The 'Mini House' Duplex: The 2-bedroom duplex is shockingly big for London, spanning two floors with three toilets.
