Centrally located. Short walk to Queens Park, Notting Hill, or Abbey Road. Everything accessible via the Tube. The owner is terrific. Super responsive. The airline moved our flight at the last minute and they still accommodated us. A trip and flat!

Great Stay in London

Property was clean, comfortable and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Check in was at 3pm but we arrived early at 10am. Because we were traveling with a sick teenager, Nicole allowed us to enter the flat early and rest while the cleaning person finished her cleaning. This was much appreciated because we really couldn't be exploring while waiting at this point. Overall, it was a great stay and totally recommend booking this flat!

Great base for London adventures

Great communication with Nicole...appreciated all the "how to's" information she provided re the flat and the neighborhood. It was a comfy retreat at the end of busy days. Easy walk to tube for the Bakerloo line and, as we discovered, easy way into London on the Lioness line as well. We liked the convenience of the M&S grocery on the way home from the tube as well as several local restaurants.

Wonderful stay while in London!

We absolutely loved out stay in Nicole’s flat. Check in was clear and easy, Nicole responded to any questions promptly and answered everything. She suggested some local places to eat on our first nigh and we had a lovely dinner at Alice House. The flat is in a great location away from all the business of London but close to the tube, so we could easily get wherever we wanted. The living room has a great couch big enough for our family to all lay on and watch movies together. The flat even came with a surprise trampoline, which our kids loved! We would stay again in a heart beat. Highly recommend

Amazing host, amazing flat, amazing location

We just stayed at this flat for seven night during our one-week vacation to London with our 10, 7, and 4 year old.The flat itself was perfect for us - the laundry was extremely useful to have (we were able to pack less!). The room setups were perfect - two private bedrooms and then a giant pullout couch.The location was also amazing. This was our first time going to London, but everything was accessible from the Queens Park tube station, and it was easy to figure out. There is also a great grocery store 1 minute away from the flat.Finally, Nicole is an amazing host. Was extremely responsive and helpful!Highly recommend!

Easy walk to the Queens Park train station

Super comfortable apartment for our family of 5 (2 adults plus 17, 15 and 11 year olds). Communication with host Nicole was easy and very quick responses. Nicole also provided lots of information about the area and local shops and restaurants. Queens Park area was perfect for us especially the easy walk to the train which has both overland and underground access. Quick to get into the city and in Zone 2.

Great host with close access to the tube for your London vacation.

I traveled there with my wife, daughter, brother and sister in law and their infant son. Nicole (the host) was incredibly accommodating and communicative with us before and during our stay. She made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The flat had everything we needed for our trip including two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. The flat is a short walk to the tube, grocery store, and local restaurants. Having everything we needed close by made commuting to the city a great experience.

Comfortable Stay for Fam with Little Ones

This is a great option for a family of little ones. It’s close to the Underground and close enough to Central London if you prefer a car. Nicole is really great at communicating and responds quickly to messages. We were excited to have a garden and outdoor space for our toddlers, but we were disappointed to see a trampoline on the patio, as it’s not pictured in the listing. It takes up a good portion of the outdoor space and we didn’t think it was safe for our kids at their young ages. It left us battling to keep them off of it instead of enjoying the space as planned. Otherwise, this is a lovely landing place for a family after a long day exploring a big city.

Convenient location. Good space for group.

Stayed 4 nights with family to visit London. Flat is very conveniently located close to Underground, with direct access to many of Londono’s main attractions. Easy walk to grocery store, restaurants and Portobello market. Apartment is well suited for 4 people but not more (was advertised for 6 when we booked). The Pros: - overall space - location convenience - easy communication with property manager. - Great kitchen space if you want to have meals on site. The Cons: - furnishing: sleeper sofa lacked comfort, dining room chairs were limited and in poor condition. Dining table not suited for more that 4 people. - overall cleanliness of inside and outside was below average for rental - we had to request more pillows and towels for our party (seems that other customers had to as well).

London vacation with husband and two teens

Flat is on the first floor, very conveniently located to the Queen's Park stop on the subway. Trains arrive every few minutes, so you can be in Central London in 15-20 minutes depending on where you're headed. Flat was comfortable and well outfitted with bedding for the two bedrooms and the pullout couch in the front living room area. Kitchen included all the items we needed for making quick meals or heating up food. Bathroom is functional. One challenge is the lack of electrical outlets, so you may want to bring an extension cord for charging devices or blowdrying your hair. We had an issue with ants but after a text exchange with Nicole, found ant poison in the laundry cabinets. That seems to take care of the issue.

Nicole’s flat certainly lived up to its 5-star billing. The ground floor location was perfect for an older couple like my wife and I and the proximity of mass transit and grocery shops was a real plus. The flat was well-fitted with everything you might need for a comfortable weeklong stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Nicole was a welcoming and thoughtful host. If we make another London trip in the future, Nicole’s flat will be at the top of our list for accommodations.
