We had a wonderful experience staying here. It was our first trip to London and this rental was in the best location. Central to all the Underground lines, bus lines and within walking distance of a ton of things. Easy to get around. Communication with the host was great. Lenn answered all my questions in a timely manner. One of our best vacations ever.
We loved our stay. Great centrally located place with ample room for our family of 4, all as advertised. Host provided clear communication throughout. Highly recommended.
The location was excellent; it's near busses, trains, restaurants and coffee shops. The place is clean, cozy and has a great table for everyone in my family to gather around. It was great having the extra sinks in the bedrooms for a group of five people to get ready each day. The beds were comfy and the refrigerator was a great size. The check in and check out was easy because Lenn gave such great detailed directions. It truly was a perfect place to stay!
Can’t say enough great things about this rental. It was a wonderful treat in an excellent location. The beds were cozy and the common areas were well kept. Major plus for having an elevator!
This apartment is indeed the one and only place to stay in London! The welcome, Lenn and the team (Natasha mainly), the care, the service are all implacable. Lenn is just so proud of the apartment, and there are many good reasons for that, and he is willing to do everything you will enjoy your stay, and it works!! The location, the space, the comfort, the well-equipped kitchen with all generous supply there. The trees outside the windows are so romantic and enchanting. All is just perfect!! Thank you Lenn for a very very lovely stay. We shall be back.
The apartment was a great size for four adults. The accommodation was clean and well equipped, has everything you could need in the kitchen. The location was perfect for the theatre trip we had planned, very close to everything. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay again if we plan anotger celebratory trip to London.
The property is just as pictured online. We were very happy with our stay and Lenn/Natasha were fantastic and very helpful with our arrival from Heathrow airport. We would stay again the next time we’re in London.Thank you, Lenn and Natasha for being such great hosts!
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
We enjoyed our stay in London. The apartment was in the perfect location to get around the city. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was fully stocked with everything you’d need to cook. We stayed during a heatwave and the ceiling fans and hallway ac helped cool down the rooms at night (except that back bedroom, but we put the extra fans in there and that helped). The washer and separate dryer were nice to have as we were able to wash clothes before the next leg of our trip. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks!
Fantastic location! Cozy apartment that is close to everything. While the street noises are quite loud, closing the windows really dampen sounds from below.
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.
The location of this flat can’t be beat. The size of the flat was perfect. The amenities were as described. We feel lucky to have found this flat and will stay there again. We could walk to so many attractions. There were exceptional restaurants nearby and a wonderful foot reflexology spot that was perfect after a day of walking. Having this flat as our base of operation made our first trip to London exceptional. And the communication with the host was great, even with my numerous inquiries, Lenn was responsive and helpful. We miss the flat already and are eager to return.
It’s very rare for a central London apt to have an elevator, washer, dryer and stand alone air conditioning unit(although we did not need it for our stay in August). A charming airy apt with high ceilings. The kitchen was well stocked. We walked to most places including about 1 mile to Big Ben, buckingham palace, the British museum, covent garden and Chinatown. The one bathroom for the 5 of us worked out just fine. I can’t say enough good things about this location and comfortable accommodation. We hope to return to London and to this apt. again.
We loved every minute of our trip. This apartment is perfect. The location is the best. Covent garden is lovely. We could not have asked for a better stay.
