PERFECT LOCATION St. Martin's Lane is in the heart of Covent Garden, moments from everything that Covent Garden stands for: theatre, restaurants, clubs, pubs, shops, flowers, museums. It is an amazing location. This particular flat on this very historic street is across the lane from the AlbertTheatre, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Directly across the street is the famous Brown's restaurant, center of dinner gatherings after plays let out. Garrick Street, St. Martin's Lane, Great Newport Street, and Long Acre all meet at the local intersection. It is absolutely amazing. Historically, the building where the flat now stands is on the site where Thomas chippendale once had his famous furniture shop. Now, the area is the hub of the city's social and cultural life. This flat is in the middle of it all. Amazing and wonderful location. The property itself is on the 3rd floor with a life, entrance phone, and camera. The friendly porter is always helpful and is in attendance during working hours (9-3 o'clock). St. Martin's Lane is a one-way street and is free flowing straight to Trafalgar Square. The apartment has a very contemporary living room with a large sofa, flat screen TV, and other seating. There is a dining area for four persons. There are two double bedrooms--one with a queen size bed and one with two twin beds. The master bedroom has a master bathroom with shower stall, wash hand basin, and loo. Very good quality. The second bedroom uses a second bathroom which has a shower over the tub, wash hand basin, and loo. Both bedrooms are to the back of the building assuring quiet sleeping--and that is great for flats in Covent Garden. The kitchen has all machines including washer/dryer, fridge/freeze, hob and oven, and microwave. Wonderful kitchen utensils are available. The flat has wood floors throughout with lots of windows for good light. Please note we have two flats in this building each with two bedrooms. Personal note: when my own London home is booked, I choose to stay in these two Covent Garden flats. My reasons are clear: I like to walk everywhere, I like to walk to and from the theatre, and I like the restaurants. The problem with living in Covent Garden is the evening noise. These two flats have the best of both worlds since you are in the midst of all Covent Garden while the bedrooms are not on the street side. These are fantastic properties for families and for the young at heart who enjoy spending their evenings in good restaurants and in theatres. Highly recommended. I love staying here. Property is designated non-smoking.
