We always try and spend a little bit of time in London each summer and decided to squeeze in a few days before we headed to Holland earlier this month and were lucky enough to have 3 days to explore the capital as well as being the first people to stay in this brand new one bedroom apartment from FG Property Management in the heart of Earls Court.
It was pretty exciting being asked to come and stay and see what we think of this new building, part of which is still under construction and will be open to the public near the end of summer, because of this we didn't actually know what to expect but once we opened the door to this large and airy apartment we were impressed by how spacious and stylish it felt.
The flat consisted of a large lounge/kitchen room with two beautiful windows, a sofa bed, TV, dining table and modern kitchen space with everything you need to rustle up a good meal, although with so many great bars and restaurants within walking distance you may never even use the kitchen. The bedroom was a bit smaller but still fit a kingsized bed with more than enough storage space in the form of built in cupboards. The view from both the bedroom and lounge looks across a private residence garden which we were lucky enough to have a walk around and was so peaceful we couldn't believe we were in zone 1. I really loved the simply but very chic and stylish furniture, especially the dinning table and chairs as well as the wooden floors which create a calming interior space to relax in.
As FG has property all over London they use a central booking-in reception desk at City Relay, only a few minutes walk from Earls Court, where we picked up the keys to the Flat from their very friendly team and one of the staff was kind enough to walk us over and personally make sure everything was okay. They provided us with a travel cot for Baby G and were very accommodating to those travelling with kids. When we checked out they also have a luggage storage area and since it was one of the hottest days of the year they immediately offered us all a bottle of mineral water.

Once the building works have been completed these flats are going to look amazing and finished to a high spec. We always find that travelling as a family self catering and apartment stays are the way to go as it allows you more flexibly than a hotel especially of you are staying more than 2 nights. As they use City Relay is also means that if there are any issues during your stay you can get hold of someone straight away as they are open each and everyday and work the same as a hotel reception.
In the meantime FG has lots of full finished luxury flats across the city that are perfect for any length stay in the capital.
