We stayed at Karen’s flat for a week and it was a fantastic place to stay. Perfectly clean, a great size flat, and all the amenities that you need.ie fridge, microwave, coffee machine etc The check in process was smooth and Karen kept the communication flowing. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood but very close to tube stations and all you will see in London. We will definitely stay at this flat again.
We had an AMAZING stay at Karen’s little flat. Convenient location, comfy accommodations, and great neighborhood. Karen and Jo were both so kind and helpful. Definitely follow their restaurant recommendations- you won’t regret it! Bed was very comfortable, but it should be noted that it is an American queen size, not king. As noted in other posts, shower/bath could be a bit tricky if you have mobility issues. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
Karen and Jo were fantastic hosts, and their sunny flat had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed having breakfast each morning while listening to London TV. The location was very convenient, as Victoria tube station was just a short walk away, providing easy access to all of London. We also loved dining at the Artist Residence Restaurant and Kazan Restaurant, both of which were located just a short distance from our flat. We would love to return to this wonderful flat someday soon.
Best thing was the area and the location! Really walkable and safe. Nice little flat, all we needed and Karen was very communicative. I would stay there again
We had a wonderful stay. The flat has everything you need and is close to shopping and restaurants. The flat owner is very attentive, would recommend and stay here again !!
We loved this flat - so pretty and just the right size. It was minutes from the tube so everything was easily accessible. The owner and her staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely would book again!
We had a wonderful stay at Karen’s flat on Warwick Way. The flat was very comfortable and secure and we had the opportunity to use the outside patio, which was absolutely delightful!
It was located close to the bus and Metro station. We also chose to walk to Hyde Park, Victoria and Albert Museum and Harrods Department store.
The restaurants were close (Artist's Residence was fantastic and just right around the corner).
Karen was an exceptional Host!
Another great time staying at Karen’s cozy flat and exploring London. This two week visit gave us enough time to explore areas of the city we missed on our last visit.
Karen’s flat is bright and airy and set up for a comfortable visit.
We plan to return.
The Pimlico area is a great choice for staying in London. A lovely quiet residential area with several good restaurants and pubs. A 6 minute walk to the victoria coach station which is an easy and inexpensive way to get from Heathrow to the apartment. The Bus stop which runs to Westminster, the west end, chinatown and the british museum is a 6 minute walk. The underground station maybe a 10 minute walk.
Two concerns. First it is not apparent from the listing that the king bed is actually a fold down Murphey bed. The second is the shower which could be a little challenging for anyone with mobility or balance problems.
Overall we enjoyed our visit
We had an absolutely wonderful time and this was the perfect location. Quiet neighborhood and such a lovely host. The apartment accommodated all of our needs and everything was comfortable. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.
So close to everything! Our main reason for choosing this location was to visit Chelsea Flower Show. The apartment is in very easy walking distance. Victoria Station is only a few minutes walk away making trips to other spots very doable. Westmisnter Abbey and Buckingham palace are also very walkable especially if you combine it with a coffee or pub stop. Groceries are just a short distance away as well.
The studio is perfect for two people and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Karen is a wonderful host as is her 'key keeper' Jo. The neighborhood is residential and quiet yet very close to restaraunts, pubs, and amenities. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed here for our 40th anniversary. I loved the quiet neighborhood and how close it was to a tube station. We enjoyed eating fish and chips on the balcony and drinking coffee on the balcony in the morning.
First time in England and had a great stay in the flat! Perfect for myself and fiancé. Easy access to local restaurants and pubs, Buckingham Palace area, and Victoria station. Would recommend
My daughter and I spent 3 glorious weeks in this cozy flat. Beautiful decor, wonderful blacony for coffee and to relax at night. Extremely safe area. 4 blocks from Victoria Station. Close to restaurants, stores and theaters. Great communication with owner and her Asst Jo. Wonderful Ladies! Above and beyond with poor Jo even helping us with our embarrassingly heavy luggage. We walked and took the trains, tubes and buses to everywhere in London via Victoria station. Even to Edinburgh Scotland, Windsor, and Hampton Court. The station and the flat were like home to us. We had the time of our lives in a very safe, cozy, and convenient location. We will be back and I could not recommend this beloved flat more! Once you get the hang of how the transportation works your destination wishes are closer than you could imagine. Just do it- you will never regret it. As others have said there is one flight of steps and a high entry in to the shower and tub so only those with limitations should have any concerns. It was not a problem at all for us. Cheers! .

Great location
The property's location was perfect for our stay. It's close to public transportation and in a quiet neighborhood with nearby restaurants and shops. The apartment was light, bright, and inviting; the bed was comfortable; and the building was quiet.
Check-in was a bit delayed as there wasn't a lock box with a key and we arrived slightly earlier than expected; the property manager wasn't nearby. We had a few issues with the toilet and washing machine/dryer that required service people to enter the apartment a couple of times while we were out and affected the comfort level and access to amenities that we had hoped to take advantage of. The apartment is well equipped and generally clean, but the pod coffee machine didn't work properly, some utensils and dishes were dirty, and there was some mold in the bathtub/shower area.
On the plus side, the property owner was very communicative and always pleasant to interact with, so that helped a lot.
Couldn’t have been more convenient. The neighborhood was delightful with incredible restaurants & pubs. The flat had everything though, that deep tub was a bit of a challenge .
Lots of light , airy and comfortable. Loved it!
The flat wa exactly as advertised. Great little homebase for our London visit!! Nice neighborhood with everything we needed right around the corner & the tube less than 10 minutes away.
The location near to shops and many transport options was very convenient. The flat was comfortable and all the appliances worked fine, with my sole caveat being that it was a rather big clamber up and over into the bathtub for a shower. With ageing knees like mine, a small plastic step stool would have been useful.
Karen, the owner, was very easy to deal with - I would definitely choose to stay here again in the future.
VRBO REVIEW
Excellent and highly recommended! I was thrilled with the entire process — from initial contact on VRBO through to the end of an unforgettable trip for the Platinum Jubilee! The flat was as described and pictured — clean, decorated to make us smile, and in a great location. Karen Foster, (the property owner and her nearby friend, Jo), went out of their way to make everything special. Although we only briefly met Jo to let us in to the flat, the responsiveness of both of them made us feel welcome and like we were renting from friends. Karen’s willingness to provide information prior to our arrival was truly appreciated — nice tips and insights for sure. Since I had never used VRBO before, I was a little concerned and very thankful for this communication. As far as the flat itself was concerned, it was perfect for my daughter and I. The 2 of us had plenty of room in the open living/dining space and the Murphy bed worked well. (Great mattress, by the way.) We had everything we needed and more… The light switches were tricky for us, but we figured it out. (Haha!) There were great pubs, cafes, grocery stores - not to mention Victoria Station a short walk away. The stairway to the unit is narrow, but it’s only one flight which provides a wonderful balcony to enjoy. We look forward to a future visit!
Nice, clean, quiet, safe location. Perfect for all our sightseeing needs during our visit. Was about 40-45 minutes from airport via car service. Close 5-10 walk to the tube, easy to get a taxi as well. Communication was great, check in/out easy. Nice pub a couple blocks up, 2 great local spots for breakfast just steps away from flat. And a really good Turkish kabob place open late! Flat had all the amenities we needed. Would absolutely stay here on a return to this wonderful city!
My Wife and I had a great time staying here. It was close to some restaurants as well as Victoria station which made it easy to get around. The hosts were extremely nice and willing to help out with any needs.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Foster
l have been a fashion editor for over 20 years, working on many magazines... I mainly live in France with my husband and 2 daughter's. Now being freelance i travel backwards and forwards working on more commercial photo shoots, styling fashion,interiors and props. i love our flat sooo much...I love the light and airy feel,..... its quite but central location..plus having outside space. I love sitting on the balcony in the evening people watching with a glass of wine.The Cambridge bistro in the next road, is fantastic, for just a coffee on there terrace, or a meal. There's also a small corner shop right opposite the Cambridge where the lovely owner prides himself, that he has everything there... which he does! The flat is a stones throw from everything...Supermarkets, restaurant's, bar. The flat is ideally situated to reach all parts of London, whether its Shopping in Oxford Street, visiting China Town, Walking through Theatre Land, People watching down The Kings Road, or Sight seeing.
