  TO anyone out there that appreciates the quality of space and excellence in standard contact the owner. The penthouse in Battersea is just splendid. My family is large, and we were spaciously accommodated with every attention to detail exactly as per photograph. The owner Robert is particularly accommodating and ensured that our pick up and drop off's were timely executed. The penthouse is perfect for the family, well equipped and a lovely terrace that has an almost 250 degree view with the london skyline in the distance. Once you are familiar with the navigation of the area, you are merely a 5 minute bus and 5 minute walk from kings road shopping and fulham road restaurants and knightsbridge a mere 15 minutes further. We have thoroughly enjoyed the stay and more than impressed with the property!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children.

  Owner response: Thank you very much for writing a review Heena. I am really pleased that yourself and your family had a great time. I am also really pleased that even in the winter the penthouse is getting rave reviews as its even better in the summer !! Location really is just excellent. Being in the centre of london for sightseeing is great but so much better when you have somewhere more relaxing with outside space at the end of a long day to sit,drink & relax until the early hours if you want. For a family or group of friends to be together in this lovely Penthouse rather than in 2,3 or 4 seperate rooms in a hotel where they can only meet in the lounge is where it really comes into its own. This property is excellent value. It was a pleasure meeting you all & I hope to see you all again. Warmest regards Robert

  We had a wonderful weekend in London at this gorgeous penthouse apartment. We were 9 females on my sister's hen weekend. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. There was a large supermarket within walking distance for supplies (we ate in both nights). Staying in the apartment and eating in made the weekend more economical than staying in a hotel and eating out, plus gave us the flexibility to be together as a big group or have time alone. However, there are some great places to eat nearby. We really enjoyed going to the River Quarter Kitchen nearby for brunch on the Sunday (2 mins from apartment, tasty food, accommodating & helpful staff). Most importantly for this many females is there are plenty of bathrooms/loos! Recommend taking eye masks as the windows let in a lot of light in the morning in the top floor bedrooms but there are great views and the balcony is wonderful to have breakfast and drinks in the evening. Robert the owner was very helpful at explaining where places are nearby. We got taxis for ease but there are buses nearby.

  Our trip to London was a gift to our best friend, who just got married. My favourite part of the weekend, was when she arrived at the appartement, and - champagne glass in hand - went from room to room, from terrace to terrace to take it all in. The place looks really impressive (although not as new and perfect as in the pictures) - the view and the light makes it quite glamorous. (Actually, we kept joking about the place looking like one of those you see in realityshows like Top Model.) We we´re eleven people staying in the Penthouse, and still it didnt feel to crowded. And we (almost) had room for everyone round the table for breakfast. It was easy to find and get to by public transport, and the only trouble we had when staying there, was that it took us some time to figure out how the hightech coffemaker worked ; ) Some of us also had some trouble sleeping, because of all the windows with no blinds. Others found it a treat to be waken up by the sun.. For a large group like us, this was the perfect place to stay, and so much better than a hotel.

  Owner response: Hi Guri, Thank you very much for your review of your recent stay. The space is amazing and a large group can really get comfortable and yet share all of the space together....especially the large table and chairs on the Large Terrace !! The great thing about this penthouse is that its on 3 floors and on each floor you can get to the outside to view what London has to offer......simply stunning views !! I am really pleased that this worked out for you all. It is a really lovely bright penthouse with large windows and we understand that some people like to wake up to a lovely natural light and some people dont. This is why in 2 of the bedrooms we have blinds and curtains for the windows to close of a lot of the light. Not really sure about your comment regarding the photos as everybody that comes here says its exactly as the photos are but the space is bigger than they imagined. since the photos were taken we have put Oak floors in all of the bedrooms instead of carpet which I think is a great improvement. also replaced some pictures,vases, rug etc. Overall I would say that the Penthouse has improved since the photos. The "Bean to Cup " coffeemaker can be a little confusing but its worth it to get that nice fresh coffee. all instruction booklets are in the drawer to help you further. Once again thank you for choosing the penthouse for your celebration. I hope to welcome you again. Warmest Regards Robert

  2 families traveled to London over the American holiday Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The flat is HUGE! It has its own stop on the elevator. It is 3 stories tall. The kitchen, living room, dining room, and sun room are all on the first floor of the flat. The bedrooms are all upstairs. Our youngest child is 2 years old and the flat was safe for him to run around in. No problem/issues during our stay. There isn't a near by tube station, so you must take a bus (15-20mins) to a tube station. This was the only inconvenience. We highly recommend staying at this flat.

  Owner response: Hi, Thank you for your review. I am so pleased you all had a great time. This is without doubt one of ,if not the largest penthouse in zone 2 of London available for people to come from all over the world for as little as 2 days.. Clapham junction station has recently added a dedicated line that links the underground and also Westfield shopping centre in shepherds bush. The station is only 7 minutes walk away from the penthouse. You can also get the double decker bus into London Victoria right outside the penthouse which does take around 15-20 minutes but everyone seems to love this because of the views from our British "double decker bus". I hope to welcome you all again......my very best regards Robert

  I had visited london many times before and i had the chance to experience many types of hotels, the stay at penthouse was totally worth it, to be more practical the house was perfectly located in london, the owner was professional and soooooo welcoming , frankly he made every thing available like he was preparing the house for him self. I would strongly recommend this house for families. lastly, I would like to write that, I know where am gonna stay next time in london. A.Alissa

  Owner response: Hi, Thank you for your great review. It was a pleasure welcoming you and we look forward to seeing you again soon. My Very best Regards Robert

  This was a great spot for me and several others for a business trip to London. Plenty of room. Very comfortable. There's a convenience store (off-license store) just a few minutes walk from the apartment. And some excellent restaurants nearby right on the Thames waterfront. Easy connection by bus to Victoria and elsewhere. We loved the outdoor patios. Great views as well.

  Owner response: Hi , Thank you so much for your review. We are used to receiving 5 stars for our Penthouse & your comments are really important to us. I therefore had a look to see what could have lost us that " 5th star" I noticed that the carpets in the bedrooms were looking a bit tired so have now put brand new solid oak floors in all of the bedrooms. This Penthouse now has Oak floors throughout so a great Allergen free Home. Not only that But we also made the Dressing room into a 4th bedroom so the Penthouse now has 4 Double Bedrooms as standard. With the additional sofabeds we can now sleep upto 14 people. We hope to welcome you again & make sure you have the "penthouse 5 star" experience. Warmest Regards....Robert

  We stayed in this wonderful penthouse for the 2012 London Olympic Games. We were awed and extremely satisfied with the home and the professionalism of Robert, the owner. Robert was available whenever we needed and even came by the home at a moment's notice. The home was superbly furnished, very clean and in a great location. It is exactly as described. Robert provided great instruction and gave wonderful suggestions on dining and transportation. We will definitely use this penthouse again for future trips to London. Highly recommended! Thanks again Robert.

  Owner response: Hi Christina, It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all. I am so pleased that we met your expectations & in this time when people are concerned that the property photos in the adverts dont match what they see when they arrive......I am pleased that it was exactly as you thought & expected it to be. Also the location, people are sometimes concerned that its not in the centre of London BUT it doesnt need to be. we are in zone 2 and everything is so close.....the transport network here is superb and you dont need a car at all. from the terrace you can see the london eye etc very clearly. Our professional transportation service to & from the airports offer incredible value too and take the worry out of finding your way to the Penthouse. Always there on time waiting to greet you. I am pleased to say that all of our guests leave with the same feeling & that makes myself & my team really happy. It will be my pleasure to welcome you again and I hope to see you soon. My Very best Regards Robert

  My friends and I organised a wonderful weekend in London and we had such an amazing time and this was hugely down to the fantastic accommodation that we had. Believe me when I say the pictures do not do it justice, the amazing space and views this penthouse has to offer are outstanding. We were a large group yet did not feel like it with all the space to absorb us. Robert and his wife were friendly and helpful and the pre and post customer service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this rental and I for one will be looking for the next excuse to hire it! May I also recommend Tom's Kitchen which is a short taxi ride away and we all enjoyed a beautiful evening meal!

  We rented the Penthouse for a family vacation that included my family of 5, my sister and her daughters and my mother (9 of us in total). We found the Penthouse to be very roomy for the 9 of us and a great place to stay for our London holiday. It was convenient to the City via the bus to VIctoria Station (bus stop bascially right outside the apartment) or you could take the bus to Clapham Junction. Penthouse exactly as pictured and in good condition. We are a pretty particular/fussy group and we found everything perfectly acceptable. The one minor situation we had was handled expeditiously by Robert. He was also very helpful in assisting with any arrangements we needed. Great host! While the Penthouse is located about 10 minutes outside of the hub of London attractions and does require a daily bus ride, it is very convenient and accessible and was a nice place to escape to after the long days of sightseeing. I would highly recommend the Penthouse to other travelers. Thanks again, Robert!!

  We stayed 3 months from March until May 2010 with our 2 kids (2 and 5 years old) in this lovely Penthouse. It is spacious, filled with light and furnished with great taste. The property is well equipped also for longer stays and if something was not provided Robert and Michaela were completing it before we even noticed we missed it. We had a marvellous time and will definitely come back whenever there is an opportunity.
