Fabulous Flat in a Quiet and Convenient Location

My husband and I recently spent a week in this beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed flat. Everything was provided for our convenience, the kitchen being very well equipped for preparation of meals “at home”. The flat is nicely decorated and the furniture is comfortable. We had a most enjoyable stay. Communication with the property management was excellent and responsive from the moment we booked. The flat is an easy walk to the Tube, to grocery and other shops. We hope to return to London very soon and would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Great experience

The flat is clean & cosy, close to transport lines and several good pubs & restaurants. We felt comfortable lounging in the flat in the evenings after a busy day combing through the city, cooking dinner in the well equipped kitchen. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is spotless. We would recommend the flat to anyone looking for a good place to stay in London, well situated for jumping in any direction

Great little flat with everything you could ask for.

My adult daughter and I spent four weeks in the flat and were very happy. The kitchen has everything you could ask for (and more), there is plenty of space to spread out and it was very clean. Hugo and Sophie were great to communicate with and were ready when we arrived very early on our first day. The flat is very close to many amenities and a quick tube ride to central London. We will definitely be visiting again.

Cozy and comfortable stay in London!

This is the property I would definitely recommend to those who would travel to London! the property is located at a convenient location with close proximity to tube stations and supermarkets. And the neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Basically you got everything you need for your stay in the property - from extra bedsheets to even salt and pepper for cooking! Hugo and Sophie are very responsive and friendly! In general, my husband and I enjoyed our stay here and do recommend this property! :)

Perfect property in the perfect place

We would happily stay again and were very sad to leave! The flat is surprisingly spacious and very well appointed, a home away from home. Located a stones throw away from multiple stations, a supermarket and lovely restaurants, we loved having our base for our time in London here. Staying further away from the tourist hotspots made our London experience feel more authentic. We were met at the property by Sophie, who was wonderful at directing us and then giving us a brief tour of the place before letting us settle in. The flat was very quiet at night and the bed very comfortable, we had a great night sleep every night we were there. We loved the addition of the bath. It was nice soaking after a long day of walking.

Sparkling indeed.

My family stayed at this spotless place in Hammersmith. Sophie was a delight to work with and the flat itself was exactly as described, and more. There are grocery stores around the corner, and Shepherds Bush market to browse through. Some noise does come through the windows at night, so if anyone is sleeping on the sofabed they can be inconvenienced. Otherwise everything was great, and we were very comfortable there.

BEAUTIFUL stay!

This apartment was perfect for my stay! I had an amazing time! The room was clean and excellently maintained. Communication, booking, and meet up for keys was all smooth and easy. I felt very safe at this apartment. I went on my trip alone, so that was important to me! Hammersmith underground station is 10-15 minutes away walking. There is a Tesco's very close. I absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay again!

A cheerful refuge from the crowded city

#4 is a delightful little flat, and a great place to come home to after an exhausting day of exploring and an evening of theatre. Norfolk House is on a quiet street and very clean and modern, comfortable beds, a very well appointed kitchen, wifi, the convenience of laundry facilities. Equidistant from the Hammersmith or the Shepherd's Bush tube stations, which are a short ten or twelve minutes by foot, every part of central London was 1/2 an hour away. Shops are less than ten minutes away, and the local Sainsbury mini market has fresh croissants and bread every morning. It is in a building that is a little down at heel, but the flat itself is an absolute sanctuary. We were warmly greeted and made to feel at home. I would stay again without hesitation, indeed, I hope to.

Lovely Flat

Three of us stayed in this flat in June 2017 and it was ample big enough and very clean. Great for a family but I wouldn't recommend for couples as the bathroom is attached to the bedroom as it's not a central bath. The kitchen is excellent and well equipped. It's a beautiful flat overall. Location was good, but a little farther from the center then we would have liked and we ended up spending quite a bit of money at night on cabs. You can take the Tube but with a small child it was hard especially after a day of walking. The closest Tube station is Sheppard-Bush and it is a quick walk away (10-15 minutes). The Flat is within an area with excellent restaurants and lots of choice. It's a nice residential area but we did find the flat very noisy with the neighbours above. It's a beautiful old building, and creaks and nosies are to be expected but we found it very loud the nights we were there. All in all, we had a wonderful time in London and I think this flat is great value for money and it's really very beautiful. You should know, there is only a bath tub so if you like to shower you have to do it sitting down in the tub.

Comodità e comfort

L'appartamento si trova in un quartiere molto tranquillo di abitazioni tutte in stile tipicamente londinese. Pulito ed in ordine. Cucina grande e molto ben attrezzata (lavastoviglie compresa); letto della camera comodissimo, meno comodo il divano letto in sala. Vicino ad un rifornitissimo supermarket (Tesco) ed a locali che servono ottime colazioni (ed anche caffè espresso). Abbiamo provato un rinomato locale di fishχps, spartano, ma buono, Zona molto ben servita dai mezzi pubblici: a poca distanza c'è la fermata della metro Piccadilly, che vi lascia nei luoghi più turistici (British Museum, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, etc.) ed arriva fino ad Heathrow. In corrispondenza della metro c'è anche una fermata di numerosi bus. Consigliato anche per il prezzo.

Flat 4, Norfolk House, Sulgrave Road, London, W6 7QT.

The flat was very clean and easy to use. It was pleasant and relaxing to live in.Although we did not cook much, the kitchen was well equipped.The bedroom was comfortable with nice decor. I would like a chair there and maybe some hooks on the wall to hang clothes. The storage area next to the bedroom was ok but needed attention. We didn`t use it. The bathroom looked great. However I would prefer a stand alone shower as the shower in the lovely bath was difficult to control leading to a very wet floor after use. The living room was well laid out with a lovely bay window. It had a sofa bed which was easy to use. The flat lived up to our expectations and we would recommend it to others. The map and information which Sophie and Hugo provided were very helpful. We dined twice in the pub Bird in Hand and found it very good.We also paid a visit to Westfield Mall and did some shopping. The tube station was within a five minute walk so the locatoin was good. We had a very pleasant stay and may return at some future date.

Attractive apartment close to transportation

This was our home away from home. The furnishings were clean and stylish. The large closet was perfect for all of our luggage, clothes, shoes and toys we brought along for our two week stay. Having two young children a kitchen and washer was important to our family. We prepared delicious meals in this kitchen that was fully staffed. The grocery store was about a 7 minute walk away. Washed clothes that got dirty from playing in the park. One concern was not having a stand up shower for my husband but it turns out he enjoyed his baths since it was relaxing and something he usually does not do at home. Goldhawk Station was a five minute walk away, buses were a 3 minute walk and Hammersmith Station was close by. Sophie always responded quickly to any questions that we had. Our family would definitely recommend this home to our friends and family when visiting London.

Great flat in great location

This flat was a great choice for us, brilliant location close to amenities (supermarket, restaurants and shops), and several tube stops (Goldhawk Road, Shepherds Bush, Hammersmith). The flat was comfortable and had everything we needed and more! Communication was brilliant, can't fault a thing. We were also able to organise a late check out which was great given we had a late flight out of London. We wouldn't hesitate to book this beautiful flat again next time we are in London. Loved it!

This apartment is well located to tube and bus lines. Amenities and good restaurants within easy & safe walking distance. The unit is bright and cheery, well equipped kitchen and a great bed. Very little local traffic noise, tube rail runs close and can be heard, walls a little thin. Sophie welcomed us and gave us valuable local information., she was accessible to our needs. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend this property.

Simpatica casetta in stile vittoriano

La zona è molto tranquilla. Ci si sente davvero come a casa. In passato queste residenze appartenevano a una sola famiglia. Ora, come in tante altre città, c'è un piccolo appartamento su ogni piano, e i piani sono tre. Lo spazio a disposizione va benissimo per una vacanza. Noi ci siamo stati bene in quattro. Il soggiorno è molto carino, ben arredato. La cucina è bella, di colore blu, con elettrodomestici della NEFF, che è uno dei produttori di fascia alta. Il forno è diviso in due parti, con due sportelli, così, volendo, si potrebbero cucinare due cose alla volta. La fila di case su Sulgrave Road dalla parte dove c'è Norfolk House dà su una strada alberata dove non si muove una mosca. Dietro passa la metropolitana ma non dà alcun fastidio. La si sente solo dal bagno e, dopo il bagno prima della linea della metro, c'è un giardinetto posteriore. Dietro, la vista è quella di qualsiasi casa che abbia una zona di sfogo. C'è chi ci mette quello che non sa dove mettere e chi la usa come un giardinetto. La camera è molto intima. Il bagno è stato volutamente lasciato nello stile classico di un tempo. Marmi bianchi sul pavimento e alle pareti, vasca da bagno retrò e un piccolo lavabo con i due rubinetti per l'acqua calda e l'acqua fredda. E' tutto nuovo ma si è scelto di restare un po' nel passato. Dover miscelare acqua calda e fredda crea qualche disagio al quale non siamo più abituati. Anche la vasca, simile a quelle dei film western, non è fatta per farsi la doccia ma va usata come vasca da bagno. Con un po' di attenzione ci siamo fatti delle mezze docce senza bagnare dappertutto. L'unico neo è un po' il lavandino. Per farci stare la vasca, che è piuttosto grande, si sono sacrificate le dimensioni del lavandino. che è molto piccolo. Però la presentazione dell'immobile è corretta e le foto del bagno lo ritraggono esattamente com'è. Niente di così grave da pregiudicare il giudizio sul nostro soggiorno. Se al posto della vasca avessero messo una doccia, risparmiando spazio per un lavabo più grande, e invece dei rubinetti cold-hot avessero messo dei miscelatori, avrei dato cinque stelle. Ah, la fermata della metro è a cento metri, comodissima. Noi abbiamo preferito quasi sempre l'autobus, che si prende dopo una piacevole passeggiata di cinque minuti arrivando alla fermata di Uxbridge Road. Da lì il 94 porta fino a Piccadilly passando per Marble Arch e Oxford Street. Così si vedono i migliori quartieri della città. A due passi c'è il gigante della Westfield.

Perfect Match! Oder auf deutsch: Wir hätten es nicht besser treffen können!

First of all, thank you to Elisabeth! The check in and check-out worked excitingly. The apartment was exactly as described! In addition, clean and well equipped. The location was ideal for our tours. Whether on foot or by bus/Tube everything is very easy to reach. The apartment is also recommended in any case. And for 3-4 people no problem at the place and sleep! So thanks again for this great first stay in London!

The apartment is very beautyful, exactly how we can see in the photos, and is very near from the Subway of Hammersmith. Hammersmith is very beautyful place near the center with many locals (restaurant, pub, disco) where end the day. The owners of the apartment are very nice and kind. I recommend this apartment and, next time we return in London we certainly will stay here.
