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 !!!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
