Dad and two adult children

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 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!

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.

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!

Perfect Spot

This is a great place to stay. It has a perfect position smack bang in the middle of the theatre district and close to so many iconic places - so much in walking distance. The flat is clean and a delight to stay in and well equipped with lovely touches added by the host. It's also remarkably quiet for such lively surroundings with only the creaky floor to disturb you but really that's the only negative which is saying a lot about how amazing this place is. It's great value for the money and I would definately book 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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Perfection in every aspect

From the first contact with an initial enquiry until the moment we checked out, the host was amazingly helpful. We stayed 5 nights and I now wish we stayed longer!!The location of this property is PERFECT to everything. Buses outside the front door, an underground just a few short minutes walk away, theatres everywhere, pubs, restaurants shops and famous landmarks all in walking distance. I loved the character of the apartment right down to the creaky wooden floors, it created a real London experience for my family who are used to new and modern - please note that is meant as a huge compliment as we were wanting an experience in our accomodation as well as comfort. This property exceeded my expectations !!! And if we are lucky enough to go back to London in the coming years this is the only place I’d want to stay !!!
