I feel confident that the choice is the right thing for our stay. I will do a trip review when we return. Thanks for your concern.
OP

It's not so much concern as curiosity! 😀

For me it actually is concern Just like the first flat you mentioned -- properties aren't always where it 'says' they are. But never mind . . .

janis, of course you're right.

If it is this one (which I found by googling the description) it looks pretty nice.

Bed seems a bit small though. Even if it is not the one, it looks like something to keep on file for the future. (and there IS an elevator!)

All, rialtogrl is correct. That is our choice. I agree with the bed. My plan is to sleep on the sofa. I’ll ask for sheets. Im an early riser, my daughter not so much.

Hi judithann308,
Looks like a nice flat! But it is a studio..... unless you will bang about quietly in the dark, when you get up, your daughter will wake up...

Hope it will work for you guys!

Lovely studio and the balcony is a bonus -- Not sure I could cope with a Murphy Bed if traveling with someone else though. It seems the only storage is not accessible when the bed is down. Definitely larger and less expensive than a hotel room.

You are a 10 minute walk to the nearest tube station.

Janis’s, thank you. My thoughts exactly. My daughter and I have managed to be friends while she lived throughout the States. We speak daily. We certainly will enjoy our visit to London. The room is basically for hygiene and sleep. Coffee in the am. Wine at night. Seeing the incredible sights will be a joy. You have been so helpful.

can you pls tell me how to stop comments on this posting. It’s a lot for just the room. I’ll need to get back when we delve into the actual visit.

"Can you please tell me how to stop comments on this thread?"

I don't think you can, probably best to let it all flow over you, it is meant well.

I know and I appreciate all of the comments. I think I’m good for a while. Everyone has been so kind.

The best way to 'stop' comments is to stop responding -- the topic will eventually die but additional comments can pop up even when the OP has gone on to other topics.

Just one more comment, I think the place looks great and you are so sweet to sleep on the sofa. My mom always offers to do that too. And we are totally "coffee in the AM, wine at night." I love your style! Do start another thread if and when you are ready for some tips for London.

I know you asked for a suspension of comments but I thought I should warn you, if the ad doesn't mention what looks to be a sofa in the photos as a sofa suitable to sleep on, it may not be so suitable. As in, not long enough or wide enough, or suitable to add sheets etc which the owner may not be able or willing to provide.

This truly looks to be a bachelor style studio. My advice if you need a 'sofa' is to bring a 'Thermorest' bed roll and your own sheets. Not kidding.
Or book something else.

I agree with Sue_xx_yy that the landlord might not provide linens for what is obviously not a sofa sleeper. The couch does look like it might be enough to sleep on - less so if the end 'bolsters' are not removable. If he won't, and you are checking bags maybe take an old double/queen sized sheet with you (you can dispose of it if you don't want to schelpp it back home.)
