First Impressions
Apartment – Sleeps 2 & Free Parking sits on a quiet residential street in Harrow, and honestly, it’s one of those places that looks better in photos than in person. The building itself is pretty standard — nothing fancy, but you know what you’re getting with this three-star setup. I’ll be straight with you: this isn’t where you come for Instagram moments, but if you need a basic place to crash with your own wheels, it ticks that box.
The Space Itself
The apartment is compact but functional — exactly what two people need without any extra fluff. There’s a small kitchenette that’ll handle your morning coffee and maybe some light cooking, though I wouldn’t plan any elaborate dinner parties here. The room setup works fine for a short stay, with enough storage to unpack if you’re staying more than a night or two. The Wi-Fi actually works pretty well, which isn’t always a given in these smaller places.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s where things get interesting — Harrow’s got more going on than people give it credit for. You’re about a 15-minute walk from Harrow-on-the-Hill station, which puts you on the Metropolitan line straight into central London. The area around Coles Crescent is mostly residential, so it’s quiet at night but you’ll want to stock up on groceries because there isn’t much right on your doorstep. That said, the parking situation is genuinely hassle-free, which anyone who’s driven in London will tell you is worth its weight in gold.
The Reality Check
Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat this — the place feels a bit worn around the edges, and some of the fixtures could use updating. The bathroom’s cramped, and don’t expect luxury toiletries or plush towels. But the heating works, the bed’s decent enough, and everything you need is there. It’s clean and functional, which honestly covers the basics when you’re just looking for somewhere affordable to sleep.
Why Guests Choose It
The main draw here is really that combination of free parking and reasonable rates for the London area. If you’re driving into the city or flying out of Heathrow (which is pretty close), this spot makes practical sense. It’s not going to wow you, but it won’t disappoint you either if you set your expectations right. For couples on a budget who want their own space rather than a hotel room, it does the job without breaking the bank.
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.
