Dear Philip Thank you for your kind words & apologies for my delay in replying to you! I was away for a week outside London & didn't have access to my VRBO account to find your review. There was indeed nothing further for you to do, other than what you did. In fact, thank you for taking out the trash! Even that wasn't necessary - all covered in the cleaning provided before & after each stay. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. Only sorry I didn't see a bit more of you, thanks to my own commitments! Kindest regards Stephen

Cosy but convenient

The location is perfect for anyone visiting for a few days. Old style apartment which needs some TLC, but has every convenience needed. Close to tube, supermarket, museums, etc, it’s an ideal base for solo travellers or couples. Communication with Stephen the agent is excellent- friendly, helpful and prompt in replies.

London Vacation

Two seniors shared the flat using both beds. We were very comfortable and appreciated having the wash machine along with detergent to keep up with our clothes on a 10 day trip. Location was great, short walk to Earl's Ct. tube station and plenty of restaurants and bakeries. If you are a light sleeper there is a fair amount of traffic noise even up 4 flights, but we did fine with a travel white noise machine. We would book again if we come back to London.

Decent place, good location

Location is great. About 3/10th mile to Earl’s Court tube station, and 4/10th mile to Gloucester Road station. We walked home as late as 10pm and never felt unsafe. Close to 3 grocery stores, and lots of little restaurants. Apartment was adequate. Small kitchen with small fridge, microwave, and stove - we could whip up a breakfast and have a cold drink when we got in. We were there for 11 days, but spent little time in the apartment other than sleeping.

Comfy apartment for two in great location.

This is a well furnished and comfy little apartment just two blocks from the Earl's Court underground stop (great for in/out to Heathrow as well as getting around the city). Overall it's a good size for two; might be a bit tight for more (except children). You do have to keep the windows closed at night due to Cromwell Road traffic, but they are very good at blocking sound. Everything functions well; the wifi is great. The neighborhood has great eating options.The rental agent, Stephen, is exceptionally courteous and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

London visit

The Manager of this flat is incredibly friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable about London. My sole concern was the lack of a 2nd exit if there was a fire. I found the space claustrophobic as the windows are high up but that is a personal Quirk. Otherwise it was clean and had everything one needs for a short stay.
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2023
Thank you for pointing out about the fire escapes. My honest mistake! There are indeed two escape routes in the event of fire. One to the left outside the door of the apartment, with stairs leading to the ground floor. The second is to the right outside the apartment, where the hall leads to stairs in the house next door, also leading to the ground floor. Obviously overlooked mentioning this while we were entering with luggage! Apologies!

Host ghosted us, we had to book something else

Our host never send check-in instructions, despite acknowledging our payments. We were unable to contact the host prior to or after or arrival in London and had to work with VRBO customer service to get a refund and find an alternate booking standing on a sidewalk in South Kensington, London with our bags. I hope our host is alright, and I give huge kudos to the VRBO customer service team for prompt and comprehensive attention to our situation.

We had a wonderful time in London!! This flat was perfect for us. One block walk to the Underground station so all of London was readily available to us! Bus stop just down the street also. The flat is just as pictured. Stephen is an excellent host. Very knowledgeable about the area - Earl’s Court - and London in general as well. He was so helpful with any concerns or questions we had.

Cromwell Rd Flat a Great Location

This was a perfect place to stay for our 2 week Christmas holiday visit from Canada with our daughter and son in law. Stephen our host was very kind and helpful upon our arrival and even made a few little repairs with the hot water system when we arrived. The flat contains all necessities to make a stay enjoyable and the fact that the building had a lift made getting up and down super easy. The inside of the building was super quiet and very clean and the little bit of road noise from Cromwell Rd was not bothersome at all - we even had our windows open every night. The flat could use an upgrade on the mattress and maybe a more comfortable sofa - but this did not impact our stay in any way. The location is close to everything you need - groceries, restaurants, shops and transit. You can definitely to walk to many places from our flat. We hope to be able to use this location on another visit to London. Thanks Stephen for helping us enjoy a wonderful holiday.

Great place to stay

Stephen is a great host. He greeted us at the tube station and walked us to the apartment. He gave us an orientation of the area and house , the things to watch for and some great suggestions of places to eat. The apartment is well located. Direct bus to here from so many places like Oxford street and such. Hop on hop off bus stops were a few minutes away.. Having the elevator was so helpful. It was fairly warm when we were there but manageable with fans…..we needed an extra one and Stephen provided it graciously when we requested. I would gladly. I don’t back and stay again.

Don't stay here

Host left us waiting 2 and a half hours on the street for access because his phone was off. Host does not communicate well through VRBO. We booked for three adults but the third bed was a very short futon style couch with raised ends and a bar down the middle. It was impossible for an adult to sleep on. My daughter ended up sleeping on the lumpy couch. Hot water went off every other night. Linens were stained. There is a lot of road noise as it's on a busy street . I would definitely not recommend this listing.

About the host

Hosted by Halyna

Host profile image
Originally from Australia, I live & work from home, very close to where the apartment is located, running a small business of my own. Hosting guests from abroad keeps me in touch with my own past as a backpacker exploring Europe!

Why they chose this property

Quite simply, it's a home away from home!
The neighbourhood is full of interesting history and was for a long time, one of the most convenient and economical arrival points for those arriving to make London their new home!
