Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This is an impressively finished home in a great spot for sightseeing being only a short walk from Buckingham Palace and Westminster. With rainfall showers, air conditioning in the bedrooms and Sonos in the living areas the list of amenities is top draw. A snag here is the informal dining set up with bar stools which aren't the most comfortable. All in all, however, Areca Star will make a great base for those looking to explore London.

Home truths

    It's a ground floor apartment so the living space looks onto the street and you will have to draw the curtains for privacy

    There's only air conditioning in the bedrooms

    The narrow dining table and stools are not the most comfortable set up
