Apartment rental in London, United Kingdom - London Convenience Without London Prices - Property 187651

Why is the price so low?: Apartments like this in the city center typically rent for two or even three times what we are charging. So why is ours so much less? Though we actually prefer living a bit outside the hassle of central London, many tourists want to be right in the thick of things. So our fees are considerably less in part to make up for the 18-minute train ride to the city. Secondly, the decor and furnishings are traditionally British, not upscale and touristy. And the common areas aren't plush--the stairs aren’t carpeted, there is no elevator, and you won't be greeted by a doorman! When we travel in Europe we always seek 'value apartments' like ours--we’re looking to rent our flat to like-minded people who appreciate a clean and comfortable place to stay as a base for exploring London but don't require upscale, luxurious accommodations.

We're one floor up: Note that the flat is on the 'first floor,' that is, one floor up from the ground level. There is no elevator so you must be prepared to walk up a flight of stairs with your luggage. We maintain a strict no-smoking policy.
