"Simply sensational", that's exactly how a friend of mine described his exceptionally comfortable stay at one of the many London holiday apartments. His immense satisfaction was evident from the fact that even days after his sojourn, the appeal of the holiday apartment refused to disappear off his radar. Considering London, with 33 boroughs, over eight million people, the worlds biggest underground rail system and the planets' busiest airport, is also home to a captivating cauldron of culture, business and pleasure, and hence becomes even more difficult to imagine that the only memories a starry-eyed tourist brings back home is that of his holiday apartment.
My curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to explicitly identify the reasons for London holiday apartments creating a persistent place in the hearts and minds of their transitory inhabitants. Here are some very appealing facts:
Booking a stay is simple and uncomplicated. All bookings are characterised by online payments and confirmations. It's definitely a far cry from the unintelligible, cryptic terminology you come across while booking hotel rooms.
A warm welcome and some hot coffee is something you would love when you are cantankerous from a delayed flight and exhausted from hauling your luggage.
You are most likely to find a pleasant and comfortable, artistically decorated living room greeting you with warm, earthy hues. Sink into that plush sofa in the cosy lounge, and you instantly know that the best things in life are very, very rare.
