First Impressions
When I first pulled up to A super luxury large apartment on Southfield, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect — the name’s a bit straightforward, honestly. But stepping inside, you realize they’re not overselling it. This apartment genuinely lives up to its description, offering the kind of space that makes you wonder why anyone bothers with cramped hotel rooms anymore.
Location & The Barnet Advantage
Here’s what I love about staying in Barnet — you’re far enough from central London to actually breathe, but the transport links are solid. The High Barnet tube station gets you into the city center in about 45 minutes, which honestly isn’t bad when you consider you’re trading tourist crowds for actual residential charm. There’s a Tesco just down the road, and I noticed several decent pubs within walking distance if you want to experience proper local life.
The Space That Changes Everything
This four-star setup really shines when it comes to space — I mean, you’ve got proper living areas where you can actually spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase. The kitchen is fully equipped (not just a mini-fridge situation), which saved me a fortune on eating out every meal. The main room feels more like a proper flat than accommodation, with enough seating for a small group if you’re traveling with friends or family.
Practical Comforts
What struck me most was how everything just works without fuss. The Wi-Fi’s reliable, there’s plenty of hot water, and the heating responds properly — those little things that can make or break a stay. You know what’s rare? Having enough electrical outlets where you actually need them, and somehow they’ve managed that here. The whole place feels recently updated without being sterile, if that makes sense.
Why Guests Love It
Look, if you’re after a traditional hotel experience with room service and a concierge, this isn’t your spot. But if you want the freedom to live like a local for a few days while still having professional hospitality standards, it’s pretty much perfect. The 8.5 rating makes sense when you factor in the value — you’re getting significantly more space and flexibility than most London hotels at this price point, plus you’re experiencing a genuine residential area rather than just another tourist bubble.
Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
