About this property

Magical & Charming 8 rooms Covent Garden TownHouse

Welcome to my family home!

A genuine 5-floor Grade II listed Victorian townhouse, on a quiet pedestrian-only side alley in the heart of Covent Garden. The entire house is yours — five floors, sleeping up to 16 — and it's a wonderful base for larger families, multi-generational stays, groups of friends, and corporate visitors who'd like to share work, life and entertainment under one roof.

You won't forget this stay. The house has real character, real story, and the kind of personality you simply don't find in a corporate apartment or chain hotel. (More on the property itself, and on what makes the surrounding neighbourhood so magical, in the sections below.)

One thing we'd like to mention in advance. We use a professional hotel linen service, and occasionally need brief access to the storage area in the basement during your stay to collect linens — generally in the morning. We aim to make this as quick and unobtrusive as possible, and we always respect your privacy and space. We'll discuss the best timings with you in person at check-in so we can find an arrangement that works for both of us. Thank you for your understanding — we genuinely appreciate it.

Looking forward to welcoming you to our magical home.
Best, Tim and team

This place worked well for us. The location is great. Easy walk to Leicester Square or Tottenham Court stations.We are a group of 7. It was nice for us each to have his own bedroom. And plenty of baths to go around, too. The place only has one "flaw"; a lack of common/gathering space. but there are multiple coffee shops and pubs nearby to hang out in.

The location is as good as it gets, tons to do in the area and lots of transportation options to get anywhere in London easily. The house is comfortable and an excellent value, for this size and location you won’t find anything close to this value. We had a maintenance issue while we were staying and the hosts fixed it right away. Very good communication.

Family trip

The house is in a great location and had a lot of room for 6 people. The beds were really good, it was clean and it had everything we needed. Anyone with mobility problems may have issues with the narrow steep stairs but it worked out ok for us. We had a great time and Jenny was a wonderful host. We really enjoyed the house and the area.

Unbeatable Location - But don't expect luxury

This is a fantastic option for large groups. Just don't expect luxury. The living spaces are cramped (save for the top floor bedroom which is spacious). What you are paying for is the amount of beds and the perfect location. Almost everything is within walking distance.

Family Trip

This townhouse worked out perfectly for our family of 9 that traveled from the USA for 9 nights in London. While not exactly in Covent Garden the location was fantastic on a quieter side street closer to the Seven Dials area. Check in and communication with the property managers was amazing, they were always responsive and available immediately! The townhome was fully stocked with all the essentials, all we had to do was buy groceries for the week. While not fancy it was clean and the location and number of bedrooms/bathrooms worked really well for our large group.

Family stay

My three children, their spouses and my seven grandchildren and I stayed at this townhouse in London. The location is absolutely marvelous. It is not in Covent Gardens - much better. It is on a quiet backstreet in the theater area very close to the Leicester Square station. Easy access to all the main tourist attractions, yet quiet. However, please note there are five floors and no elevators and no railings. Air conditioning only on the first floor, and its erratic. Lots of rooms and beds but they are on different floors, and gathering space is limited. We did love the location, it was pretty clean and the beds were fairly comfortable. There was plenty of kitchen ware and other odds and ends you might need, too.

Run down accommodation/Fabulous location

We learned on arrival that the address differed from the address given during the rental process, and that the photo of some type of an arcade shown on the home page of the listing is unrelated to the property. When shown the property on arrival, entry way carpet badly worn and stained, clothes dryer broken, toilet plumbing in one bath not in proper operation, shower plumbing in another bath not in proper operation, another of the bathroom quite cramped (requires a person to contort him/herself to close the door). The interior appears to have been fitted out with finishing acquired from the “close out” aisle at the hardware store. The upside is location in the heart of Soho/Covent Garden, which we appreciated. Might be a good fit for frat boys on a road trip. We would not stay at this property again.

Charming and magical it’s NOT

My friends and myself stayed at this property for 5 days. The only reason we didn’t leave was we were in the middle of a strange city and it was already paid for. Upon arrival the bathrooms were filthy (we had them recleaned) still not much better. The bedding was dingy, the pillows old. The beds were very old and uncomfortable and many pieces of furniture were broke. As the week went on, the dishwasher broke, the air conditioner broke, the kitchen window leaked and people were urinating in the window well in front of the townhouse. The front door lockbox had been tampered with a couple times and one day we found the house door ajar. Kinda scary In the owners defence, the mechanical issues were delt with promptly. Don’t let the lovely ad pictures fool you. We are not ones to complain, but this bears the exception. The place is a rundown, filthy frat house that’s wayyy overpriced!

Great location and great for a big group

The good- the location was very centrally located in the Covent Garden/Leister Square area. There are lots of rooms, tons of beds to sleep in. We were 8 and each had our own bedroom with a few loft spaces to spare. The okay - the layout is stacked. Lots of floors so there are lots of stairs. This was not a problem for us, but if you had mobility issues it might not work. The not so good. It was a heatwave and while there were fans, the upstairs rooms were HOT. The washer worked but did not dry clothes. The bad. Check in was not great. While they were responsive, the location we were sent to was not the actual location. It was only a few blocks away, but after 12 hours of travel it was worrying when things started off bad. They said it wasn’t ready and we were waiting on the street, but by the time we walked over it was ready. Whew! I mention it not to complain, but to manage expectations and know it will work out and the apartment is worth it.

Fantastic Location

We had an amazing stay. The location cannot be beat. The owners were super responsive throughout the entire process and met us for the walk through when we checked in. While there are a few things that could use a little work, I think this is also part of the charm of staying in a UK flat. We absolutely loved it and would definitely stay here again. There were 6 stories and the place is definitely set up for large parties. We stayed here with just 8 and had so much room to spread out. 5 out of 5 stars from all of us!

Location is fantastic!

There was a bit of confusion in the check in just in terms of where to meet and at what time, but the property managers were fantastic on communicating with us. The boys is definitely cozy, but the location is amazing! Overall, we were happy with the stay. A note: perhaps supplying basic amenities would be appreciated, such as shampoo and conditioner, body wash, coffee, etc.

Birthday Celebration

Our experience at this property was amazing. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect for our plans in London. We were greeted and helped with our bags a few minutes from the house. We were celebrating a birthday so wanted to decorate the house and have a few drinks there, and we were allowed to do so. I would definitely stay here again.
