Thank you so much for your lovely review, Pam. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m delighted you enjoyed both the apartment and its location. One of the things guests love most is being able to walk to so many of London’s iconic sights, while also having fantastic cafés, restaurants, pubs and excellent transport links right on the doorstep. I’m also pleased you found my local recommendations and communication helpful. You’re always very welcome back whenever your travels bring you to London again! Simone 🇬🇧

“I had a lovely stay at Simone’s studio. It was conveniently located in a charming and quiet pocket between Chelsea and Pimlico, making it an ideal base while still feeling peaceful and tucked away.The studio has been refurbished to a very high standard and felt fresh, stylish, and well cared for. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable and there was plenty of room to move around, which made the space feel very easy to live in. I would highly recommend staying here.”

Dear Dawn, Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m really pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the location — it really is one of those rare little pockets of central London that manages to feel both peaceful and incredibly well connected at the same time. I’m also delighted to hear you found the studio fresh, stylish, and comfortable, especially the sofa bed, as I know some guests are understandably cautious about sofa beds before arriving. It’s great to know the space worked so well for you. You were a wonderful guest, and you’d be very welcome back anytime. Best regards, Simone 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Flat of my own while visiting family!

Perfectly situated for my needs. Slippers and bathrobe and umbrellas were very welcome! Host was able to accommodate a special request, and the small walled outdoor space at the back of the flat was perfect for a meal al fresco. Enjoyed my stay!

Absolutely amazing

I can’t say enough about our stay here. The flat was clean, cozy, and in the perfect location. Simone was so friendly and helpful and gave us the best recommendations for our trip, and was quickly responsive to any questions we had. Check in and check out was seamless. Should we find ourselves back to London in the future we would absolutely stay here again

Dear Taylor, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you found the flat clean, cozy, and in such a perfect location — it’s one of the things guests often love most, being just a 10-minute walk from Victoria Station and so close to the cafes, restaurants, and wine bars around Sir Simon Milton Square and Pimlico Road. I’m really happy my local tips were helpful and that check-in and communication went smoothly. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be delighted to welcome you back on your next trip to London!

London Vacation

The property was well appointed, comfortable, exceptionally clean and ideally located for us to spend 8 days exploring London. Louise was extremely responsive with answers to questions about the property and information about London, the neighborhood, restaurant choices and transportation. We could not have been happier with this flat for our London vacation.

Beautiful apartment

Just like the host stated, a few minutes stroll to beautiful restaurants/cafes & shops. Public transport about a minute walk, about a 10 minute walk into the famous Sloane Square shops & more cafes/restaurants. The host was so helpful & available, the apartment is on the ground floor of this beautiful terrace building, very clean, I thoroughly enjoyed our stay & felt very safe as hubby was away for a few days on business. Would definitely stay here again, in a heartbeat.

Quiet, Clean, & Charming

It was the perfect spot while vacationing in London- quiet and within walking distance of all the major attractions. It had all the needed kitchen supplies for cooking & for light meals. I was able to wash a load of clothes and dry them! The bathroom was large, had hot water , and had plenty of space for my toiletries. Simone the owner was always quick to respond and had great helpful advice and suggestions! I would definitely stay here again!

Simone is a fantastic host. No hiccups getting in and she was more than generous with letting us in a wee bit early. Directions for the washer/combo would be handy and perhaps a new mattress for the bed. A dimmer switch for the bathroom would be lovely as well. All in all it was a great place.

Nice small apartment

Apartment was clean with nice kitchen and washer/dryer. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. 15-20 minute walk to restaurants and travel stations. Great for a 3-4 day stay. Pretty small for extended stay or time in apartment with one chair and the fold out couch/bed. Simone (host) was fantastic- very responsive with recommendations for restaurants and activities.

The property exceeded my expectations! It is very convenient to many of London's attractions and transports. I did quite a bit of walking and discovered many excellent local eating establishments and coffee houses. I could even walk only a few blocks to go get a maincure and pedicure that was an excellent deal. The hostess was phenomenal with so many great tips on what to see and do. The cute little courtyard spot offered an opportunity to get some air with the some privacy to have a cup of coffee or do a little work. The communication from the hostess added the cherry on top for my trip! I would definitely stay here again!

The property was steps to the buses, coffee shops, pubs and surrounding neighbors were very nice. I can't say enough about Simone who is the contact for this unit. I needed her help on an issue I had and she was right there. Quick to reach out to us. I saw plenty of parking if you rent a car. We didn't need that but nice to know if we return to London again. We would definitely stay at Simone's again. It was very updated and comfortable.

This was a 14 day stay and exceeded our expectations on all levels. Beautifully decorated. Excellent appliances. Close to shops and Pubs/restaurants. In fact the Pub at the end of the block had awesome burgers and fries. Food and grocery delivery were within minutes on the Deliveroo app. Host gave brilliant suggestions and answered questions promptly. She went the extra mile!loved it!

Flat in Pimlico

Although I had lived in London for a year many years ago and have been back many times since, I had never been in Pimlico. The neighborhood was very quiet.The flat is a 20 minute hike from Victoria Station, the nearest underground station, as are the nearest food stores. The owner left a bottle of champagne, which was a nice touch.The Owner was very helpful when I first moved in. We had no contact after that.I couldn't figure out how to use the handheld shower head. There were no instructions on how to fold up and unfold the sofa bed. There was no salt and pepper or paper towels in the kitchen. Some of the light fixtures were strange looking.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul 2025
Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the peaceful Pimlico neighbourhood and appreciated the champagne welcome. Just to clarify for future guests: the flat is in Zone 1, Central London. Victoria Station is about a 10-minute walk, Sloane Square about 12, and there are plenty of cafés, brasseries, and shops just 5–7 minutes away. As this guest didn’t have a smartphone or internet access, I wasn’t able to share my usual digital welcome pack or video guides. Instead, I met him personally, walked him through the flat, and marked key local spots on a map for him. The sofa bed is a single-action modern design that takes just seconds to open — I normally provide a short video showing how. The shower system is a standard UK dual setup, and I’m always happy to help if anything’s unclear. The kitchen includes coffee and a French press. For hygiene reasons, we don’t leave open items like salt or spices, and paper towels are not listed but easily found locally. As for the lighting — the flat features custom Collingwood designer fittings, chosen to reflect a clean, modern aesthetic. It was a pleasure to host you, and I hope you had a great stay in London. Warm regards, Simone🇬🇧🇬🇧
