Practical flat
: A practical flat close to the marathon start line. It’s in a small town away from the hustle and bustle of London, but easily accessible by train. Easy check-in and check-out.
It’s a bit on the outskirts of town. If it weren’t for the marathon, this wouldn’t necessarily have been our first choice. There’s no soundproofing and there’s a bar below… so it feels like you’re sleeping in a pub. The flat is nice, but in terms of value for money, it’s not great. What’s more, we were on the third floor with no lift.
