For the second time enjoyed a Short Time Assignment in London. The apartment (Wideghate Street 19-3) was sufficient for its purpose but the apartment occupied in 2017 (Lambs Passage) was better (and more expensive I think). Location is superior near Liverpool Street Station. Kitchen was disappointing, only 2 cooking hobs, warming up took very long. Smoke detector is located above the equipment and was triggered several times during normal cooking actions. Housekeeping service was excellent. It was very disappointing that on my last day as a result of a defect in the lock I could not leave my apartment and called the 24 hours emeregencvy line 4 times without result.
