Great stay in lively London neighborhood! The flat was perfect for visiting our son studying abroad in London. The neighborhood is excellent for exploring the West End and convenient to two tube stations that will get you quickly anywhere you want to go. The flat was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent! Safe and central location near Holborn station with many convenient shops, grocery, restaurants and attractions nearby. A boisterous street on the weekends with a theater and music establishment nearby, which was great with us but may be a consideration if you are early to bed. Clean and as advertised with all that you will need for a perfect stay! We would 100% recommend this rental. Checkout procedures sent via VRBO communications 24 hours prior- not listed in the apartment manual, so watch for that. We did not see the communication and assumed wrong that we should leave the key in the apartment. Sorry, Ian.

My daughter and I spent three weeks in this darling apartment. It was the perfect size and offered everything we could have wanted to make it our home, while in London. Perfect location for exploring the city and provided a comfortable, homey place to return each night! Ian was an amazing host and was responsive to any questions I had. Will definitely want to stay here if I’m lucky enough to return to London!

All We Could Ask For

This was my wife and I’s first trip to London, and this property near Covent Garden was perfect. From the convenient, central location with nearby tube stations and bus stops to the fully equipped kitchen. It was an ideal home base for our European adventure. Excellent check in instructions with photos and the place was spotless upon arrival. The host, Ian, was ultra responsive, available, and even had coffee pods delivered to the flat when we couldn’t locate them in any nearby stores. Service beyond expectations! I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for making our trip even more memorable!

A perfect 3 days in London!

A great property for 2 in a perfect central London location. The flat was hospital clean, well equipped and charmingly decorated. The location couldn’t have been better, easy walk to the British museum, west end theaters, Oxford/Bond St. and all the food/pubs that one could ask for. Access to the rest of London was just a short tube ride away. The flat was easy to get to from Paddington Station. All in all, a perfect place to explore London!

Theatre District Location.

Easy access to the Underground and numerous restaurants and pubs. The host as easily accessed when I encountered check-in difficulties. Be sure to review all pictures located in Vrbo app regarding checkin. The apartment is cute. Be sure you understand that it is a five story walk-up. Carrying heavy bags may be a challenge.

Awesome place to stay in London Theatre District

The apartment was as described and although it was small it was an excellent place for the two of us. It was clean, well decorated and the kitchen was well stocked with dishware and utensils. Although we didn't cook there was a stove, dishwasher and oven/microwave. There was also a washing machine and an expresso machine with a few pods. The host (Ian) had left a bottle of water for us in the refrigerator. The location was excellent - right in the theater district, close to many restaurants and coffee shops. It was easy to walk to many places of interest. The piccadilly tube from Heathrow was a less than a 10 min walk from the apartment. Prior to our arrival Ian was having problems with the lock box and so he contacted me in advance and personally met us upon arrival. He was very friendly and easy to contact. The only thing that might be a problem is that the apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator which is clearly stated in the description. The location and the apartment itself more than made up for the hike up the stairs. We would definitely stay their again.

Great spot!

We loved this nice apartment! Nicely decorated, very clean and well equipped for the meals we cooked while there. I thought they had a hair dryer but couldn't find it. The bed is very soft so be aware of that if you have back issues and/or prefer a firm bed. The location is fantastic and if you are into comedy, there is a venue right around the corner. We would definitely book again next time we come to London.

Outstanding apartment

This is an absolutely flawless rental. The space is really well arranged so that it feels roomy for two; the decoration is charming, not soulless like so many short-term rentals, but the place looks and feels spotless; and Ian is incredibly helpful. There was a problem with the key, clearly originating with the previous renter, and Ian made a four-hour round trip on no notice to resolve it. I was glad to know about the stairs — it can feel like a long climb — but the location is so convenient and the building has a very nice residential vibe. Five stars all round.

Theatre in London

The flat is perfectly located for theatre in the West End, and is very near a number of underground stations, allowing for easy trips to additional theatres, the airport, etc. As described by the host, there is no lift and one climbs 64 steps to the 4th floor flat. The flat is rather small but well-appointed with a good kitchen and a very convenient washer/dryer.

Great Spot in Covent Garden!

Ian's apartment was perfectly located a couple of minutes walk from the heart of Covent Garden. That means everything was very close, but the apartment was nice and quiet. Although not large, the apartment had everything you needed with excellent arrival instructions, and helpful information on operating everything the apartment and all about the general area. Ian had lots of thoughtful touches like various guidebooks and chilled water waiting for us. It was five minutes from four different tube stops, which made touring a breeze. There are four flights of stairs as described in the listing, and they were quite manageable. The bathroom is rather narrow, so this spot might not be ideal for four adults, but it worked perfectly for the two of us. Our previously booked location cancelled just two months before our scheduled trip, so extra thanks to Ian for helping us out.
