Home truths
There's no lift here to access the apartment – there are also stairs leading up to the building's entrance
Parking can be tricky here, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
At capacity, one guest will be sleeping on the pull-out trundle bed in the second bedroom – we think it's better suited to children
The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
Upon arrival you’ll find a personal check-in with your host
Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise levels to a minimum
As you're in a central location, you may hear some street noise – light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs

About Hammersmith
Hammersmith might feel slightly hectic in the area immediately surrounding the station, but fear not: attractive riverside walks, tranquil parks and village-like enclaves with great gastropubs are never more than a few minutes walk away. You'll be sharing the pavements and parks for the most part with young professionals and families.
