Acorn - Crawford House Apartments

We stayed for exactly 1 month. Location is great within 1 block of Tube and many convenience stores. This is not a hotel of 5 Star property, but more like college dorm. But kitchen and overall apartment functional and served the purpose. On site staff and service was great. In summer, with windows open there is noise from the street. Wi-fi functional but erratic at times. Nice breeze and sunlight.

The apartment we booked was more in the Business district of Farringdon. It wasn't a bad place but if I ever go back to London I would prefer to stay somewhere else. The good was that the underground(Public transportation) was not a far walk. The area is more laid back and doesn't have as much of a night life if that's what your looking for. The apartment itself was ehhh "ok". To get in you need to take a back alley which could be hard to find. Once you are in the gate the alley in the apartment is kinda Bland. No tables or chairs or topiary or plants to make it feel friendly. I'm a smoker and I like to have a drink and sit outside. That wasn't happening. I had to stand and smoke and couldn't enjoy the nice weather. When you got in the apartment the carpets were a bit dirty but overall the place was clean. The place I rented had two bathrooms, kitchen, bedroom and living room. First thing we noticed is one of the toilets wouldn't flush.. the kicthen was nice and clean though! Fridge, washer, freezer and all the extras. The living room couch was kinda uncomfortable but we made use. the worst part about the whole experience was the beds and trying to sleep. The beds were three single beds and they felt like you were sleeping on a board. Stiffest bed ever! Also there is no air conditioning.. it got hot in the room at night.. So I didn't get much sleep the entire trip. If they had some sort of fan to compensate for how hot it got at night or new mattresses. Would've been better

Good location and spacious. Available kitchen facilities and washing machine. A good place if staying a little longer. If you have a lot of luggage or have problem with walking you probably want to take a taxi from the check in place a mile away from the apartment. We took a walk and got acquainted with the surrounding on the way. Several nice restaurants in the area. Our apartment had three single beds which was perfect since were friends travelling together.

Clean apartment with a 5 minute bus ride from Holborn subway station. Convenient and economy if you can use a bus. Good for money if you stay in London for more than a few days. I stayed with my family and we liked this apartment. Only down side was that this is a car park in front of our room, people passed by and we could not open a curtain.

A bit of a pain going to a different place to pick up keys, but enjoyed the walk. Apartment great size, pretty basic. Couple of windows wouldn’t close but luckily wasn’t a cold night.
