Avondale Studio Stay

The studio was well equipped with everything you would need for a stay in London. It was well clean and located in a good neighbourhood. Host was very attentive, comminuted well, and was willing to help if anything was needed.

Quaint home away from home

The apartment was great, we had everything we needed. Neighboorhood was homey and interesting. Not too happy about the stairs going up but understandable it is the design of houses from the era. We had a blast!

Great family space

If you are looking for a small space but efficient space for a family this is it. I always worry when the post says fold out beds that my kids are going to be lacking sleep. The fold out bed here were awesome. Real mattresses that everyone had good sleeps on and were really to go even morning. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to a large Sainsbury open most days from 8-20hr. There’s a lovely array of local restaurants and if you want a scenic trip to Buckingham catch the 52 bus. Awesome place
