We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming property! It was the perfect getaway for our family vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated; with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked. The location was ideal—just a short walk to Victoria Station, restaurants, and a grocery store. Our host, Sarah, was incredibly kind and responsive, answering all our questions promptly and even leaving candy for us. It made us feel so at home!

This is a great place to stay and be close to most of London's key sites. We loved the neighborhood! The flat was comfortable and Sarah was very responsive to all of our questions. My only criticism is that there needs to be more closets and drawers, etc. for guests. We stayed 11 days and it was hard to find storage space since all the closets and many of the shelves were full of extra supplies and stuff. But honestly that was a minor inconvenience. I would highly recommend this flat!

Great stay!

Just left and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Location was great, close to a tube station, shopping, and restaurants. We were a group of 5 adults and the accommodations were excellent for us. Sarah was great - good communication and availability as needed. Beds were comfortable, sheets, pillows etc. great quality. No issues with cleanliness, or things like the wifi working as advertised. Highly recommend.

Perfect London house

The experience from start to finish was perfect. Sarah the host was great at communications, her property was awesome, clean, great location, stocked with essentials, tea, coffee, cereal etc and shampoos etc. We are a family of 5 and it suited us perfectly, enough room, enough hot water. The location was so convenient, near shops, cafes, restaurants. Transport was close, tube, buses but walking was easy to main attractions and a black cab as we had 5 worked out reasonable. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again next time we are over from Australia.

Fabulous home and location

An amazing flat that is within walking distance to many fabulous London sites, and a few steps from restaurants, groceries, and coffee. Sarah was an amazing host. This is one of the best appointed homes we’ve rented through VRBO. I hope to rent it again, and will recommend it to any friends heading across the pond.

Our week in London

Thanks to Covid, this was our 3rd attempt at a week in London with our daughter, husband and her 2 teens. It was a glorious time and this home was an outstanding base of operation. The location near two bus lines and the Pimlico tube stop made it quite accessible. Sarah was a responsive and very engaging host for a property that was well equipped and comfortable.

Perfect spot for our family vacation

Charming 3 story flat with all of the amenities needed for a family trip based in Pimlico. Access to several small local grocery stores only minutes away by foot and a coffee shop right around the corner. Bus, train and tube station all within easy walking distance - we preferred to walk to most sites given really cooperative weather. Sarah was a superb host assisting with questions along the way when planning this Christmastime trip. We couldn’t have had a better experience! Thanks again Sarah!

Great place to stay!

This is a great house to stay in while in London. My family of 4 (including 2 teens) spent 5 nights here and enjoyed ourselves. It’s huge (for London - or any city!) and the beds were very comfortable. Took about 10 minutes to get to the Pimlico tube station but there are buses close by as well. We also enjoyed the pubs that are about 5 min away. Our only minor complaint was the primary shower but Sarah told us it is being replaced very soon. Sarah was a wonderful host and even got us some snacks to enjoy since we arrived so late when most things were closed. We hope to return again soon.

Well-appointed home.

Garden house is a well-appointed home with everything you need and a few special additions such as bubbles, chocolates, milk and herbs and spices. The house was very clean with lovely bedlinen and plenty of towels. Unfortunately the beds were too soft for our comfort so we didn't sleep well. There were also one or two inaccuracies in the online description as there was no hot tub, bicycles or bbq grill. The location is very good and shops close to hand are a real bonus. The living areas are on the middle floor with bedrooms downstairs and upstairs which afforded privacy if preferred. The house was warm and cosy and good value compared with other places.

The Garden House

This was the perfect place to stay for our first visit to London. Sarah was very accommodating letting us put our luggage there early on our arrival day. She also gave us a great tip for “Car for hire” to get us to the airport at the end of our stay. The place was very comfortable and plenty of space for us 3 adults needing our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds were comfortable for getting much needed sleep after seeing a busy London. The kitchen was clean, well stocked with pots, pan, dishes and the basics of seasonings and more…The Garden House is only a block from the Tesco Express, coffee shops, and a great Italian deli. You can walk 30 minutes to see everything in Westminster or take a close by bus, tube or a £7-8 Uber. We would definitely stay again next time we visit!

Wonderfully appointed apartment in great area with incredibly friendly and helpful host.

From the moment we entered the Garden House (front door protected by high end Balham deadlocks), the quality of the property was evident. The bedding was comfortable, with more than enough linen. Two and a half bathrooms was a real bonus, and the showers worked well.The kitchen facilities (including excellent Siemens appliances) made meal preparation a breeze, and it was nice to be able to dine in there as well.The lounge room was large enough and secure enough to keep the 10 month old crawling baby happy. As far as the property’s position is concerned, it is within minuscule walking distance of a Tesco Express and an excellent Italian delicatessen (the coffees were very well made). Bus stops were nearby and the nearest Underground stations (Pimlico,Victoria) were less than a 20 minute walk away. The only word of caution is that the steep spiral staircases may be a challenge for the elderly or less mobile traveller. Overall, we could not have been happier with our stay. And one more thing. We have been using Stayz for many years, and we have never dealt with a friendlier, more accommodating host than Sarah. She could not have made our stay any more pleasant, even to the extent of leaving a few Christmas treats.Thank you Sarah!

Beautiful Apartment in best location

We had super nice contact with Ssarah, our landlady. If we had any questions, she responded immediately by email. The apartment was clean and equipped with everything you need. We were even greeted with milk and a bottle of sparkling wine. Many thanks for that! The downstairs two bedrooms one 1 bedroom with direct access to the bathroom (toilet and shower) and a second bedroom (a slightly smaller double bed) and another bathroom with toilet and bathtub. on the ground floor a nice cozy living room with plenty of seating and a table with 6 chairs, then a toilet and the fully equipped kitchen with table and chairs. Up the spiral staircase to a nice room with another bathroom with toilet and shower! It was a little cold in the apartment (despite the heating), but there were fan heaters everywhere in the rooms - everything was perfect!!! The location is perfect - the Pimlico train station is less than 10 minutes walk away, from there it was easy to get everywhere. The bus was also a 2 minute walk away. We would book Sarah's apartment again anytime. THANK YOU for the wonderful time!

We had the most fantastic stay at Sarah’s property. For a family with two teenagers there was plenty of room for us all. The studio level was perfect with it’s own shower room and plenty of books and games. The bedrooms below the living floor were beautiful with quaint outdoor space and plenty of bedding and towels. The living floor had a comfy spacious lounge with dining table and the kitchen was beautiful. Such a beautiful property. The area was quiet and easy to walk to either Pimlico tube station or Victoria. We preferred the Pimlico stop as it was easier to navigate it was a short one stop ride to Victoria to change lines. Overall we had the best trip to London and we will definitely be back for sure. Thanks Sarah for your fantastic communication for check in and check out. We had the best time!
