What I was seeking was a good massage with a female therapist in a dark & quiet room for a low price on Essex Road and this more than delivered. It is no-frills but I wasn't there to spend time sipping tea in a bathrobe - I had one hour without the kids. The therapist was so incredibly nice and skilled and the room was clean and cozy. I will certainly be back. She did have long nails that you can feel. This could be a problem for some people but it didn't bother me at all.
