  The apartment is apartment is large, gracious, bright and very comfortable. It location is prime, a very nice neighbourhood, conveniently located. The whole of London is readily accessible via either Northern Line tube (5 minute walk) or bus (1 minute walk). Another positive is that the apartment is well-stocked with sugar, coffee, etc.. There are many conveniences on the highstreet: Bugden’s grocery, several restaurants (the only one we would recommend is Jamon Jamon, a tapa bar), a small pharmacy, a nice book store.and, for the longer stay, a dry cleaner. There are two flies in the ointment; there is no telephone and the shower verges on dangerous. We solved the first by going to Hampstead Village and buying two simple cell phones which included about 30 minutes airtime, the second, we tolerated.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing.

  This flat is a gem! The Belsize Park neighborhood is great, with a good supermarket (Budgens)six minutes walk away; tube station a couple of minutes farther; lots of restaurants and pubs and other stores meeting all imaginable needs for apartment living. The Belsize Park tube station, on one branch of the Northern Line, is only a 20-25 minute ride from most tourist attractions in central London. The owners, Eti Wade and her husband Daniel, are incredibly accommodating, responsive, and prompt in dealing with inquiries. Everything you'd need in an apartment is there, especially a plethora of kitchen utensils, dishes, and similar supplies. After a week's stay, we could not think of a single negative. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and will recommend Eti and Daniel without hesitation to anybody we know contemplating renting a flat in London.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

  I had a extended stay in London for work and decided to bring my family (wife & 2 kids.) If you are looking for hotel like accommodations this is not for you. This is a typical London flat. That said the flat is larger than 2 hotel rooms and when traveling with kids is great. They can be in living space while my wife and I are in the bedroom so we're not all on top of each other. The location is extremely convenient (around the corner from Belsize Park tube station), great restaurants within walking distance and you have your own kitchen so you do not always have to eat out. If you're they type who likes the conveniences of home (space, kitchen) and not necessarily luxury accommodations I would highly recommend this place!

  This was more or less a last minute booking to be in London at the time of the Queen's Jubilee. We arrived VERY late but the owner was there and pleasantly oriented us. The flat is well described in a classical 1920-30's building, top floor with plenty of sun light. Great location, with excellent value. Easy shopping for routine needs and 5 minutes to the tube and bus service. No question we would come again.

  Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities.

  The Belsize Apartment was on the 5th floor(with lift),faceing west,we got the last rays of the setting sun. The bedroom was spacious,with lots of storage for clothes.The 5 ft bed was comfey. The lounge has comfortable seating with a flat screen tv with lots of good channels. The kitchen has every type of appliance you would need. Just around the corner from the apartment there are many restaurants with pavement seating. Being close to the Tube station was so handy to travel around London. Dont forget to buy an Oyster Travel Card,it's a lot cheaper than cash and a lot handier. I would stay at this apartment again and recommend it to my friends.

  The flat was spacious, safe, and convenient with the Northern Line's Bellsize Tube Station close by. We appreciated the elevator to the 5th floor flat, the wonderful windows looking over the trees, and the beautiful garden shared by the building residents. Good neighborhood villages provided interesting shopping and an assortment of pubs and good restaurant faire all within easy walks. We enjoyed the views of London from Primrose Hill Park and walks through Hamstead Heath. The flat is supplied for cooking-in, but we ate in one night only. The bed was sound, but the furnishings and overall condition of unit is shabby and overused. With a little TLC and addition of a comfortable sofa and chair this would be a real jewel. Perhaps the unit is a little over priced for the quality of the furnishings, but overall the flat met our needs and was accurately described. Our hostess, Eti, was welcoming and easy to work with.

  My family had a wonderful experience with this rental. We were late arriving from the airport, but Eti's husband was waiting patiently for us so he could give us the keys and a quick view of the flat. Linens were clean and fresh, plenty of towels. Our adult son stayed with us and slept on the futon couch quite comfortably. Our daughter, who lives in London, ate meals with us and we had plenty of space to spread out. The flat is only a block or so away from a tube station, so was very convenient. We were able to walk to Hampstead Heath from there as well. Lots of shops and restaurants within a quick walk. It is on the top floor, with very quiet neighbors. We would definitely recommend this flat.

  Eti is a great host! She gave us detailed instructions on how to get to her place. Her place was easy to find. When we arrived, she was already there waiting for us. She also met us on our last day at 5:45 AM to check us out so that we could catch our train at St. Pancras. Belsize Park tube station is less than 5 minute walk from her apartment. From there, central London is within 10 to 15 minutes. There is a nice supermarket and several restaurants around the tube station which we took advantage of. Apartment is just as it is described on the website. It is quiet and peaceful. We would not mind staying here in the future. For those first timers to London, I highly recommend getting an Oyster card or Travelcard from tube station. They allows for unlimited rides on the Underground and most city buses. You'd be surprised how easy and efficient it is to ride the Underground. Perfectly safe.

  My family had a very nice holiday in London. The flat was comfortable and the hosts were friendly. We asked for a hair drier and they provided it on the next day. I would recommend this flat to other families. Maria

  The flat was perfect. The location was great. It was close to the tube, cafes, and grocery store. It had everything that we needed: pots, pans, dishes, towels, linens, internet, tv, etc. You name it, it was there. The flat has a nice balcony where you could sit in the sun (the weather was perfect when we were there). Eti was also a very accommodating. She was available to meet us when we got to the flat. Also, when we ran into a problem with the shower, she took care of it right away. Overall, we had a wonderful time staying at Eti's flat.
