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...

Fantastic place with a few caveats
A wonderful old flat in a wonderful old building. As such, it has a few foibles. The lock to the front door is difficult to open and takes a bit of getting used to. The towel rack in the one bathroom is positioned absurdly close to the toilet. If you are over 6ft 4in or 300 lb or both this is probably not the place for you. Ditto if you have mobility issues. If you are traveling in shoulder season and hit a cold streak there will be no heat. Apparently they don't turn the boiler on until a certain point in the year. That said, they do provide a small heater. Overall a terrific experience and would definitely rent again. The lock is difficult to open

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!

Excellent Location & Charming Apartment
We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this charming apartment right in the heart of London. The apartment is well appointed with everything you could need. We made great use of the washer & dryer as we were on a three week trip and needed to freshen up our clothes. There are TONS of great restaurants, shops and tube options right outside the door. We loved the energy of the neighborhood and then it was also quiet when we closed the windows to sleep. Overall it was a great stay and we would choose this apartment again.

Perfect Location for Girls Trip!
There were 5 of us in our group and this flat was the perfect location to conveniently pop in and out. We felt safe to split up / meet up depending on what each person felt like doing. There are also many bus / tube options within a 5 minute walk. We had enough space, with one person on the fold out couch which was very comfortable! I was worried about only having one bathroom but it worked out fine.

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!

A fun London flat
We had a lovely time at this wonderfully located central London flat. The only downside is that after booking we were told that we should only use the bathtub with extreme caution because of potential flooding. We were surprised to hear that given how prominently the tub is featured in the listing photos, but the shower in the bathroom was great. Clean, comfortable bedrooms and living area—would certainly stay here again!

Good apartment
The location was very good. Apartment was right in the area of restaurants and stores. It was a little noisy with the windows open but they had fans so that helped a lot. All the amenities were there. Very clean and pleasant to stay at. Good communication with the owner. Would recommend this place. Had washer and dryer.

Perfect London location
Location was close to everything! Found it to be a terrific spot and close to almost everything we wanted to see and do. Had all the comforts of home. 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!

Location!
Spacious apartment, location is phenomenal! It can get loud from the party crowds on weekends but the closed windows kept the noise to minimum. One small bathroom, walk-in shower was great. We didn’t cook or use anything apart from coffee maker but the kitchen is fully equipped. Instructions before traveling were detailed and answered anything we needed to know about the place. Hosts are very responsive if needed. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Awesome location
First of all, we would stay here again if we returned. The area was awesome and close to so many attractions. The transportation system is great and the found that the buses were so efficient and provided city views for future stops. The beds were comfortable the bathroom was small but the fact that there are sinks in bedrooms made it great. The elevator was a big plus to get up and down. We finally got the locking and unlocking of the door down. The rooms were big bright and storage was good. Overall it was awesome. Oh, when the windows were open it was noisy. But the close them and noise was gone. Perfect restaurants and coffee shops close by and the shopping is at your fingertips! Perfect. Thank you Lenn for allowing us to keep our bags in the room until our Uber came. Wish we could have met you. Great direction for check in and out. Thanks for pictures for the check in!

Amazing location
Great location. Almost directly across from the Harry Potter play and walkable to many tube stations and within 10 min walk of most shows and many landmarks. Many restaurants and pubs in the area. Would bring ear plugs/eye mask if light sleeper. Building is beautiful but older and lots of creaks and we could hear the upstairs neighbor moving around their apartment late in the night. The outside noise was not too bad with the windows closed. Very secure building. Two locked entrances. Great shower and space for sleeping 6 persons, the pull out bed was very comfortable. Great communication and easy instructions for checking in/out. We were able to check in a couple hours early which was incredibly helpful and appreciated.

Great stay in Leicester Square!
We had a wonderful stay at Lenn’s place. He is very communicative and was helpful when it came to finding the place. It is located in a great area near Chinatown and many underground entrances. At night, the road noise and people noise wasn’t bad at all. The place itself it very cool, it is a bit of an older place but it is still well kept. The only thing we had a little issue with was the electric kettle, as it looked like someone left water in there for too long and there was lots of lime scale build up. Besides that, the rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. There had been some scaffolding being worked on right outside, however we only saw workers once during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend in Fantastic Location
Very clean and centrally located two bedroom apartment with elevator. Great quick communication with the host and easy and excellent check in instructions. We had a four night stay and loved all the restaurants, cafes, pubs and transportation walking distance from the apartment. On a busy road (which was close to everything), and being on the 5th floor kept the apartment quiet when the neighborhood was very active. Would stay again.

Generous Host
The location of this apartment is fantastic for the West End. The host is extremely accommodating and provides great communication. We were so thankful to have stayed for a late check out on our last day, this made the world of difference to us. However, the apartment itself needs quite a few minor repairs, and although we managed for our 5 days, a longer stay may have been different. Overall, we had a positive experience, which included living right in the heart of all the action.

Matthew S., New Orleans, LA

Great Location But No A/C
The unit was located in a great spot to walk to many of the top attractions in London, however, the apartment was not airconditioned and was very uncomfortable in the summer weather in London. Further, the unit's flooring and furnishings need refurbishment. Perhaps a month or so from now, this will be a comfortable unit to stay in but it is a little to hot for an unairconditioned apartment in London right now.

Excellent location but be aware
Property needs some love and a deep cleaning. Very tired from the linens to functionality of amenities. Hair dryer went on and off and the dishwasher was very old and we couldn’t get it to work. There was dust everywhere and the sheets smelled bad. The property owner was communicative. And there was no view at all due to the scaffolding and work being done on the building, which was loud and strange to have workmen peering in the windows starting early and then throughout the stay. I feel like we should have been notified beforehand. The one weak shower is a buzz kill. Pictures are misleading. Can’t beat the location though.

This flat is in the heart of Convent Garden. Easy access to bus and tube stations. It is right in the middle of lots of actions. Pubs, restaurants, theatre, and shopping within walking distance, because of the location it was a bit loud at night. The host was great at communicating. Fresh flowers were on the table. Tea and coffee were available to get started in the morning.
