Great location in central London

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.

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!

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

Perfect Location-details

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.

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.

Wonderful apartment

Having never stayed in an apartment in London, this was fun! The door was almost hidden between two store, the two door entry, the elevator...all things we had never really experienced. The apartment itself was clean, modernized, yet retained old, original qualities like the flooring, in-room sinks, some windows and furniture. Well stocked cabinets with what I assume were 'leftovers' from previous guests. I actually appreciated that those items were not wasted by throwing them out. Furniture was comfy and we had room to spread out and have our own spaces. The neighborhood was bustling! Local bars and pubs stayed busy (and a bit loud) pretty late but you could shut that out by closing the windows. They blocked almost all the street noise. Access to underground, stores, attractions, and other neighborhoods was super easy. Just look the right way when crossing, lolWe would definitely stay here again if we visited London again. It was absolutely perfect!

This place is awesome!

We loved the quaintness and vintage style. The location was perfect and we felt very secure. The view from our fifth floor flat was so fun. Although there was only one shower, there were three sinks to use. Very close to coffee shops and shopping. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect!

You get what you pay for

Apartment is above a vape shop and bar, across a dirty/busy street from a sex shop. Lenn (owner) set up the listing to have all check in and out communication go through him, but he doesn’t respond and access is bizarre (retrieve a key from a box in an alleyway by a bar). Electricity went out and he took 2 days to respond about how to reset circuit breaker. Apartment is messy, furniture and mattresses are uncomfortable and dirty, limited towels and linens provided have been heavily used, floorboards leave splinters in your feet.

Fabulous way to do London

This was a return home for me, but this was my daughter's first visit and the location was absolutely fabulous. Super central and though we were able to walk everywhere from out flat, we had three major tube stations within a 5 minutes walk. Flat itself was just great - floors creak but otherwise just amazing. Host was helpful and responsive. Highly HIGHLY recommend...

Primary bedroom bed does squeak a bit but got used it to after the first night and didn’t find it to be a terminal issue. Quick responses from host helped w any issue. Would gladly stay again!

Great spot!

We were in London for 3 days before a cruise. Perfect location for sightseeing and going to a show on Friday night. Perfect spot! It is in the middle of the theater district so it can be loud if the windows are open but as long as the windows are closed it’s fine. Absolutely delightful and easy to access and use. Host was great. Would highly recommend!
