  Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for your services related to our stay at Centre Point. We have stayed in lots of furnished rentals and yours is probably one of the best kitted out, which made it really comfortable. Everything from the cosy chenille throws on the sofa, to the laundry soap, to the generous supply of towels, to the hair dryers, mirrors, and converters everywhere you'd want them...so well-done. As I think I mentioned I manage a furnished rental myself, and I will definitely be taking a page from your book. All the best and thanks again!

  We spent 3 weeks in this fantastic apartment. We are a family of 4 -3 adults and 1 teenager and it suited us all perfectly.Convenient to everywhere- we walked most places ,didn't really need the tube , even though it is just across the road.It is also surprisingly quiet considering the location.Really well equipped as well. We have rented a number of apartments through Vrbo and this would be one of the best ones.Si was also great to deal with- replied to emails promptly and gave us the most thorough induction to the flat. The photos are accurate and it was clean- having the cleaner come in was great-go off sightseeing and come back to a tidy place was lovely. Thank you.

  This flat was perfect for our family of four - two adults and two teenagers. The location couldn't have been better. It was right down from the Tottenham Court Road tube station, where both the Northern line and the Central line run. It was also right down the road from Oxford Street for shopping, and right around the corner from the Seven Dials neighborhood, which is lovely! We were able to watch the fireworks on New Years Eve that were set off over the Thames. Not only could we see them, we could hear them and the roar of the crowd. It was fantastic! The flat had everything we needed. We made coffee and breakfast every morning in the flat and then would head out; many evenings we had a light supper there as well. The flat was close to two grocery stores on Tottenham Court - Sainburys and Marks and Spencer - and there was a little convenience store across the street for snacks and such. There were little things about the flat that added to our experience. For example, we had brought umbrellas but they quickly broke under the wind. The flat had two large umbrellas that we ended up using for the whole two weeks. Also, there were reusable grocery bags so we didn't have to keep coming home from the store with more plastic bags. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and the bedrooms were quiet. The shower was great with a huge showerhead and good water pressure. My daughter was upset because the flat's instructions said flat irons from the US couldn't be plugged in. because of a fire risk. However, in one of the flat's bedroom drawers we found a flat iron and a curling iron UK approved! We had a wonderful time in London and this flat was our home away from home.

  We were 4 women traveling to London for the first time and wanted to see everything and I think we did. The flat has a great location next to Tottenham tube. This will get you ever where you need to be. The flat has two twins in one room and a king in the other. Both rooms have hairdryers and plugs for curling irons. be sure to bring an adapter. The big bathroom had a jetted tub shower combo. toilet and sink. the second has a toilet and sink. There are all upstairs. Downstairs is a living room/ dinning room with access to a balcony that seats 4. the kitchen is a plus if you want to get a quick breakfast. The washer and dryer are one floor up and are free. no problem using them as most people here must work. We loved this place and would recommend it to all travelers

  This apartment was perfect for our needs. The location was excellent! The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. And, even though the apartment is in the center of the city, the double windows kept the late night noise at bay. We were surprised at how quiet the apartment was. The Tottenham Underground station was only a block away. The apartment was within walking distance to many stores, theatres and markets. In case you need a pharmacy, a Boots is just two blocks away. This apartment is two stories, and the bedroom/bathrooms are upstairs. If you have an issue with stairs, this may not be the place for you. We had a wonderful stay in London and were sad to leave. Thank you Si for a great place to stay!

  We spent 10 nights here in late October. The setting was fantastic, the location great, and the accommodations complete. We had everything we needed to settle in and feel right at home: full kitchen with all the cooking utensils and equipment; very comfortable beds; more than enough bath linens and shampoos / soaps. That there was a washer and dryer made packing light possible. Secure building. The double paned windows meant for quiet times in a busy, central location. That the windows open was a huge plus as we like to sleep with fresh air. Easy walk from Holborn tube stop upon arrival from Heathrow. Loads of things to see and do - theatre, museums, transit, Sainsbury grocery, pubs! - all within easy walking distant. And lastly, having a balcony to gaze on the west end, and the hustle bustle of the road below (and the current and fascinating Tottenham Court expansion construction) was a huge plus! Upon arrival Si made sure we understood all the workings of the apartment. Would definitely recommend this for first time London visitors, or the seasoned travelers, like ourselves.

  Owner response: Super review - thankyou! For those who are interested about the expansion: London Underground is rebuilding the Tube station to relieve congestion, with a ticket hall nearly 6 times the current size, step free access and improved interchange. A new Crossrail station is being constructed, with services starting in 2017 providing 24 trains an hour. A new plazza is being created outside Centre Point. It will be great when done, as getting from Heathrow by tube train will be direct to the apartment in around 30 minutes - half the current time!

  The great reviews prompted me to look at this location further and I actually had a friend check out the area as I wasn't sure about whether the construction I had read about would have an impact. I'm glad to say it didn't. Stayed for 3 nights with 3 girlfriends and couldn't fault the accommodation. The rooms were spacious with a tv in both. The bathroom shower had good water pressure and soaps, shampoos etc were provided. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thank you for checking it out beforehand! So many people ask me about the Crossrail construction and are worried - but I can honestly say not a single guest has complained about it, left early or cancelled their stay in over 2 years since it started, and the noisiest work is complete. Tottenham Court Road tube station remains open, and will have a enlarged ticket hall 6 times bigger than at present, the new Crossrail line will run straight from Heathrow Airport in approx 40 minutes and there will be platform to street level elevators and escalators - great for luggage/families and the less-abled. A fantastic renovation and covenience for all our guests. The improvements will be going on for a while yet, so the view is not that great (it never was fantastically pretty, being rooftops of central London!), but then again I'm afraid work is going on ALL over London ... Leicester Square is currently boarded up in the centre, which spoils photo opportunities for guests, as are many other places, as both the property continues and London carries out lots of maintenence in readiness for the Olympics Games. Tourism is the strongest I've known since I moved to London 15 years ago, and what with the Royal Wedding last week, the Queens Golden Jubilee and the Olympics shortly, I can see the apartment continuing to be fully booked well in advance. The enquiries to availability this year has been 7:1, so my humble apologies to all those potential guests who wanted to book that I had to disappoint this year. I hate turning away good business and wish I had more flats to offer!!!

  I just returned from a fantastic trip to London with 3 friends. We are 4 moms who have traveled to London twice before. We were looking for a convenient location we could relax and spend a more leisurely holiday and we found it at Centre Point Apartments. The location was excellent for walking to many locations and very convenient to Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Tube Stations. The pictures are a great representation of the actual flat. I highly recommend Centre Point Apartments to anyone who is looking for a flat in London. Location: Conveniently within walking distance to everything listed in the details section Neighborhood: Busy City environment. Lots of pedestrian traffic. Huge construction job across the street. A few blocks away, lively pubs. Places to eat of all ethnicity and a Sainsbury. The Intrepid Fox next door looks like Hell or Middle Earth in a Pub, but it actually is the “In Tepid” Fox. The establishment does not allow beverages outside after 2100 and the patrons weren’t noisy at all. The Accommodations: Clean, neat, modern and efficient. The lower level has an efficiency kitchen stocked with dishes for 8 and modern appliances. The washer and dryer are NOT in the kitchen, but a nice quiet dishwasher is. The living area is spacious with a deck looking out over the activity of St Giles. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The master has a TV. 1.5 bathrooms worked fine for 4 women to get ready simultaneously. Lots of towels, paper goods, soap, body wash and shampoo were provided and 2 blow dryers! Hot water: The hot water tank heats and re fills between the hours of 0530 – 0930. Make sure to take all showers before 0930. There is a provision for additional hot water. WIFI: This was a must. It did cut in and out a few times we think it had to do with local area traffic. Temperature: We had gorgeous weather. Our first afternoon out, we left all the drapes open and came back to an oven. The rest of the week, we closed the heavy drapes in all of the rooms and the flat was always comfortable on our return. Safety: We are 4 middle aged women who felt completely safe walking in the neighborhood, even late at night. But as with all travel, it is important to be aware of one’s surroundings at all times. As said before we had a fantastic time and the Centre Point Apartments was part of what made it so. Thank you Si.

  I usually stay in expensive hotels during visits to London, but this time I opted to try an apartment instead. I am so glad I did! The building feels very secure, and the apartment itself looks exactly as in the pictures. The location is great -- right near Tottenham Court tube station and a short walk to many wonderful restaurants in Soho (my favorite is an Indian place named Imli on Wardour). It is also very close to a Sainsbury's for groceries (which was, conveniently, next door to a Barclay's ATM). The flat itself was clean and well-maintained; the beds and pillows were comfy; the TV worked great and had lots of channels; the apt. had nice views from the windows and plenty of hot water; the shower had good water pressure; the internet connection for our laptop worked perfect; and the temp. inside was nice even though it was so cold outside (we stayed in mid November)! The apt. was also well-stocked with supplies. It was too chilly to take advantage of the balcony, but it's still a nice option to have. I stayed here with a friend of mine and the 2 bed/1.5 bath configuration is perfect for having your own space after a long day of sight-seeing. Kitchen was great -- one small thing worth mentioning is bring your own coffee filters for the coffeemaker. We were unable to find any (and they also don't sell them at Sainsbury's), so we just gave up. The fridge is a great size and we did cook dinner in one night, and the UK oven was easy enough to figure out. The kitchen was very clean and well-kept. I have to really say thank you to Si, who manages the place, for answering all of my many, many questions prior to booking and then being so welcoming upon arrival following 15+ hours of traveling. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives and hope to make it back here again someday!!

  Owner response: Great comments, so thankyou! Regarding the coffee filters ... I am pretty sure that the coffee machines we now have in the apartment do not need paper filters, as a filter "basket" insert comes with the new machines. It takes a bit of getting used to, as several guests have been caught out. If you put a paper filter in as well, the water passes through too slowly (it is effectively then being filtered twice), and ends up flooding the worktop.

  We visited London for a week and stayed here for 4 days. The apartment is excellent in amenities, size and mainly location. We used the metro a lot to get around and it took us 5 to 7 minutes to reach any attraction from this apartment. Supermarkets are located in an arm's throw from this place. Restaurants to suit all budgets are within walkable distance. There is enough cookware to cook for a large family. We were a group of three adults and one pre-teen and we found the kitchen well equipped to cook per our requirements. The laundry facilities are in the building and have secure access. Si James, is the best. Thank you so very much Si, for your patience, kindness and continuous help in making our stay in London memorable. We have recommended this apartment to all our friends who are making plans to visit London.
