Ahh, summertime in London!
London is one of my favorite cities in the world and I try to get there at least once a year. I always love trying new restaurants and new places to stay, along of course with a few of my old favorites.
I initially found out about No.5 Maddox Street through an Internet search. I don’t remember now exactly where I found it initially, but as I started searching, the reviews looked interesting. Mayfair is most convenient to all the places I normally want to go; fantastic shopping on Old and New Bond Streets, a short walk to Soho and Covent Garden, and what must be at least a million of the best restaurants in the world. I'm sure that Carl Sagan would agree that No.5 Maddox Street must literally be smack in the center of the universe.
I was staying in London for a couple of weeks on this trip and I thought that it would be a nice change to get a fully serviced apartment. It was a pleasure being able to have a snack out of my own refrigerator and entertain a few guests with cocktails – and much less expensive then hotel drinks.
The suite that I had, I believe it was number eight, was truly like having your own very contemporary, well designed and fully furnished apartment. Yes, there were a few flights of stairs to get to number eight, but well worth the exercise.
The staff also was terrific [except for one minor mishap with a cab]. I can’t wait to get back to London and stay there again!
