helpful staffshort walkgrocery storeshower gap
the Earl's Court station is just a short walk. Plenty shops are nearby. Staff were helpful with luggage storage before check-in, a VERY useful service. The studio apartment had everything necessary for my short stay.
i noticed the bathroom shower wall had a small gap, which caused some water to leak.
