Dad and two adult children

We found the location to be excellent. Easy walking distance to many dozens of theaters and wonderful places to eat. We decided to actually walk most places, but the underground was extremely available right up the street.I would highly recommend this for both the location and cleanliness and the layout of the apartment

Exceptional Stay at Conveniently Located Apartment in London

We were very satisfied with our stay at this apartment. The location is exceptional, providing convenient access to Tube stations and major tourist attractions, which significantly contributed to the success of our trip to London. Although the nightlife outside the building is lively, the noise levels remained within typical urban limits, and the apartment windows effectively insulated the rooms from external sounds.

You get what you pay for

Apartment is above a vape shop and bar, across a dirty/busy street from a sex shop. Lenn (owner) set up the listing to have all check in and out communication go through him, but he doesn’t respond and access is bizarre (retrieve a key from a box in an alleyway by a bar). Electricity went out and he took 2 days to respond about how to reset circuit breaker. Apartment is messy, furniture and mattresses are uncomfortable and dirty, limited towels and linens provided have been heavily used, floorboards leave splinters in your feet.

This place is awesome!

We loved the quaintness and vintage style. The location was perfect and we felt very secure. The view from our fifth floor flat was so fun. Although there was only one shower, there were three sinks to use. Very close to coffee shops and shopping. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect!

Fabulous way to do London

This was a return home for me, but this was my daughter's first visit and the location was absolutely fabulous. Super central and though we were able to walk everywhere from out flat, we had three major tube stations within a 5 minutes walk. Flat itself was just great - floors creak but otherwise just amazing. Host was helpful and responsive. Highly HIGHLY recommend...

Great spot!

We were in London for 3 days before a cruise. Perfect location for sightseeing and going to a show on Friday night. Perfect spot! It is in the middle of the theater district so it can be loud if the windows are open but as long as the windows are closed it’s fine. Absolutely delightful and easy to access and use. Host was great. Would highly recommend!

Perfect London location

Location was close to everything! Found it to be a terrific spot and close to almost everything we wanted to see and do. Had all the comforts of home. Primary bedroom bed does squeak a bit but got used it to after the first night and didn’t find it to be a terminal issue. Quick responses from host helped w any issue. Would gladly stay again!

Excellent Location & Charming Apartment

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this charming apartment right in the heart of London. The apartment is well appointed with everything you could need. We made great use of the washer & dryer as we were on a three week trip and needed to freshen up our clothes. There are TONS of great restaurants, shops and tube options right outside the door. We loved the energy of the neighborhood and then it was also quiet when we closed the windows to sleep. Overall it was a great stay and we would choose this apartment again.

Perfection in every aspect

From the first contact with an initial enquiry until the moment we checked out, the host was amazingly helpful. We stayed 5 nights and I now wish we stayed longer!!The location of this property is PERFECT to everything. Buses outside the front door, an underground just a few short minutes walk away, theatres everywhere, pubs, restaurants shops and famous landmarks all in walking distance. I loved the character of the apartment right down to the creaky wooden floors, it created a real London experience for my family who are used to new and modern - please note that is meant as a huge compliment as we were wanting an experience in our accomodation as well as comfort. This property exceeded my expectations !!! And if we are lucky enough to go back to London in the coming years this is the only place I’d want to stay !!!

Good apartment

The location was very good. Apartment was right in the area of restaurants and stores. It was a little noisy with the windows open but they had fans so that helped a lot. All the amenities were there. Very clean and pleasant to stay at. Good communication with the owner. Would recommend this place. Had washer and dryer.

A fun London flat

We had a lovely time at this wonderfully located central London flat. The only downside is that after booking we were told that we should only use the bathtub with extreme caution because of potential flooding. We were surprised to hear that given how prominently the tub is featured in the listing photos, but the shower in the bathroom was great. Clean, comfortable bedrooms and living area—would certainly stay here again!
