We spent 8 nights here in May in a studio apartment. We wanted a kitchen, and The Rosebery definitely had a unique kitchen. It was well stocked with plates, utensils, pots and pans as well as two stove top burners. Some of the appliances were a bit baffling - the washing machine was a dryer too, and the microwave doubled as an oven. With a bit of help, we figured it out. We didn’t pay for extra housekeeping, but the garbage was collected daily each afternoon. There was a bag of snacks and milk in the half frig upon arrival. The espresso machine had a few pods. (We brought Starbucks’ Via instant coffee, which I recommend if you don’t want to pay for Americanos at coffee places. No brewed coffee in London that we could find.) Very nice, but small, bathroom with good cotton towels. Great shower. Comfortable bed. Our unit was in the rear of the building and very sunny. We needed assistance with the temperature controls and Kervin and the maintenance man came and answered our questions. Kervin provided a bath mat and a fan for us. The windows opened, which was helpful. Very quiet for the most part, with lightning fast elevators. Good internet wi-fi. Small unit, but for London it was acceptable. Clerkenwell was away from the congested tourist areas, but close enough to restaurants in Exmouth Market and there was a small convenience store a few doors down, plus Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s grocery stores about 10 minutes away. Much construction and many traffic diversions in the area, but close bus stops made it a convenient, yet quiet place to relax after a day of sightseeing. About a 10 minute walk to the Farringdon tube. The front desk was usually staffed with someone who could summon a taxi if you needed it. We would stay here again. Thank you, Kervin and The Rosebery!
