Stayed 2 wks at The Carlyle, it was great location...3min walk to Earl's Court Tube station. Nice apartment. Clean, comfortable place to return to after a long day in London having so much fun. Lots of nearby food choices from American fast food to great pubs. Our contact person at The Carlyle was great...quick responses any time we had a question or need. Grocery stores, pharmacy, bus stops all within a 5-10 min walk. There were 4 of us in 4bdrm apartment. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again. Earl's Court is a great, safe area in west end of London. We really enjoyed our time in a great apartmenr in a great neighborhood. One suggestion, if you're staying very long, plan to pay for extra linen service or bring towels w you as each rm is supplied w 2 lg towels and 2 hand towels, no washcloths. Washer/dryer in apartment was helpful since we were staying for 2wks.
