You know what caught me off guard about this place? The sheer amount of space you get right in the heart of Covent Garden. I mean, when I first walked into this apartment on Endell Street, I actually did a double-take – three proper bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in this part of London? That’s practically unheard of, especially when you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Covent Garden piazza.
The location is honestly incredible, and I don’t say that lightly. You’re tucked away on Endell Street, which means you get this perfect balance – close enough to hear the street performers echoing from the market on weekends (in a charming way, not annoying), but far enough from the main tourist crush that you can actually breathe. The Cambridge Theatre is right around the corner, and if you walk five minutes in any direction, you’ll hit Neal’s Yard with those colorful storefronts, or Seven Dials, or even make it to the British Museum without breaking a sweat. What I really appreciated was how easy it was to grab groceries – there’s a Sainsbury’s Local practically next door, which saved me from those overpriced tourist traps.
The apartment itself feels like someone actually thought about how people live, not just how many bodies they could cram in. Those four beds are spread across the three bedrooms sensibly, and honestly, the two and a half baths made all the difference when we had a full group staying there – no morning queue drama. The Camden postal code might throw you off since everyone thinks Covent Garden is purely Westminster, but don’t worry, you’re definitely in the thick of things. I loved that you could walk to the Tube at Covent Garden or Holborn stations equally easily, giving you options when one inevitably has delays. The building itself is pretty typical for the area – Georgian charm on the outside, modern comfort inside – and the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. One small thing worth mentioning: the street can get a bit lively on weekend nights (you’re in central London after all), but it never felt unsafe, just… energetic. Actually, that 9.3 rating makes total sense once you stay there – it’s one of those places where the location and space combination just works. You end up spending way less on transport and restaurant meals because everything’s walkable, and you’ve got room to actually unpack and settle in rather than living out of a suitcase for your entire London stay.
