Flat was a good size for 3-4 people. Host was very responsive on the app. As anywhere in the UK, not a lot of water coming through the showers but was alright. Thermostat settings could have been more intuitive.

The flat was clean and comfortable and our host Nicole was at all times helpful and communicative. We appreciated the opportunity to stay in a neighborhood that was not touristy and had wonderful local restaurants and shops, but also easy access to the tube (Bakerloo and Lioness lines) and many bus routes.

Nicole’s flat certainly lived up to its 5-star billing. The ground floor location was perfect for an older couple like my wife and I and the proximity of mass transit and grocery shops was a real plus. The flat was well-fitted with everything you might need for a comfortable weeklong stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Nicole was a welcoming and thoughtful host. If we make another London trip in the future, Nicole’s flat will be at the top of our list for accommodations.

Great flat, close to tube station, restaurants, and food market. It is in a nice residential area. We felt safe walking about night and day.Our host Nicole was wonderful— very good communication with very detailed instructions on how things (microwave, shower, remotes) worked and with recommendations. And quick to reply to messages. We ran out of dishwasher soap and she had some delivered right away!It was nice to have fans, hair dryer, and outlet adapter provided.

Great Stay in London

Property was clean, comfortable and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Check in was at 3pm but we arrived early at 10am. Because we were traveling with a sick teenager, Nicole allowed us to enter the flat early and rest while the cleaning person finished her cleaning. This was much appreciated because we really couldn't be exploring while waiting at this point. Overall, it was a great stay and totally recommend booking this flat!

Great base for London adventures

Great communication with Nicole...appreciated all the "how to's" information she provided re the flat and the neighborhood. It was a comfy retreat at the end of busy days. Easy walk to tube for the Bakerloo line and, as we discovered, easy way into London on the Lioness line as well. We liked the convenience of the M&S grocery on the way home from the tube as well as several local restaurants.

Wonderful stay while in London!

We absolutely loved out stay in Nicole’s flat. Check in was clear and easy, Nicole responded to any questions promptly and answered everything. She suggested some local places to eat on our first nigh and we had a lovely dinner at Alice House. The flat is in a great location away from all the business of London but close to the tube, so we could easily get wherever we wanted. The living room has a great couch big enough for our family to all lay on and watch movies together. The flat even came with a surprise trampoline, which our kids loved! We would stay again in a heart beat. Highly recommend
