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 !!!

Generous Host

The location of this apartment is fantastic for the West End. The host is extremely accommodating and provides great communication. We were so thankful to have stayed for a late check out on our last day, this made the world of difference to us. However, the apartment itself needs quite a few minor repairs, and although we managed for our 5 days, a longer stay may have been different. Overall, we had a positive experience, which included living right in the heart of all the action.

Perfect Spot

This is a great place to stay. It has a perfect position smack bang in the middle of the theatre district and close to so many iconic places - so much in walking distance. The flat is clean and a delight to stay in and well equipped with lovely touches added by the host. It's also remarkably quiet for such lively surroundings with only the creaky floor to disturb you but really that's the only negative which is saying a lot about how amazing this place is. It's great value for the money and I would definately book again.

Fabulous!

What a brilliant find this apartment was! London’s West End is a sensory overload; sights, lights, cultures and cuisines, so if being snack bang in the middle of the action is for you, then you’ve picked the perfect place! The apartment is lovely, in a beautiful old building with huge windows which we loved having open but completely shut out the noise from the street below when closed. It’s charming, spacious, super clean, tastefully decorated and well stocked, including a bottle of champers! Lenn, the host is a dream to deal with and went out of his way to help us with bookings and recommendations before our trip. We absolutely loved our 9 days in this apartment, didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back.

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.

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...

Fantastic place with a few caveats

A wonderful old flat in a wonderful old building. As such, it has a few foibles. The lock to the front door is difficult to open and takes a bit of getting used to. The towel rack in the one bathroom is positioned absurdly close to the toilet. If you are over 6ft 4in or 300 lb or both this is probably not the place for you. Ditto if you have mobility issues. If you are traveling in shoulder season and hit a cold streak there will be no heat. Apparently they don't turn the boiler on until a certain point in the year. That said, they do provide a small heater. Overall a terrific experience and would definitely rent again. The lock is difficult to open

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!

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.

Perfect Location for Girls Trip!

There were 5 of us in our group and this flat was the perfect location to conveniently pop in and out. We felt safe to split up / meet up depending on what each person felt like doing. There are also many bus / tube options within a 5 minute walk. We had enough space, with one person on the fold out couch which was very comfortable! I was worried about only having one bathroom but it worked out fine.

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!

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!

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.
