Very good location, very comfortable apartment, excellent reception

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this apartment: very comfortable (just perfect for two), an excellent location (easy access to all fabulous sights of London), all the amenities that could be needed to feel oneself at home in a foreign country. And a wonderful host, who thought of everything and helped us a great deal to plan our visit. Thank you, dear Stephen! It was a real pleasure to get to know you! (Inna and Pavel)

Great for young people!

This apartment is in a great location, convenient to the underground and useful shops . The manager is a lovely person, and super helpful. Other things I appreciated were the well-stocked kitchen in terms of utensils, microwave, stove + oven, coffee pot, toaster, etc.--even a small laundry washing machine! The refrigerator leaves something to be desired, as the freezer compartment lacks a door and thus does not keep frozen items. But for short stays, that's not a big handicap. The bed is very comfortable. A very good desktop computer with WiFi turned out to be an extremely important feature for me. All that said, this is not an apartment for someone like me--elderly, easily tired, a bit arthritic. (1) The apartment is on the attic floor, 4 long flights up, and the lift is unreliable. Sometimes walking all the way up (or down, or both) was necessary; and it was difficult. (2) The toilet is so close to the wall as to be uncomfortable for women to sit on--at such time as the apartment is remodeled, this should be kept in mind. (3) speaking of the bathroom, the tub is too high for an older person to step into easily (though the water pressure is excellent, considering it's on the top floor). (4) finally, the windows (one in the bedroom and one in the living room) are so high that the only thing one sees is the sky; and the TV antennae on the roof of the hospital across the street. This is a structural matter and in no way a criticism of the manager, but it felt strange to not have a view. Also (and this is NOT a structural matter and could be fixed), the venetian blinds on both windows do not catch to stay open, so one cannot get optimum light in the rooms as the blinds are always down. Again, I appreciated the small touches that the manager provided, including personal attention when I arrived and the night before I left, as well as being available througout the two weeks if I had any problems. Thanks, Stephen!

We spent one week in the flat. I do not recommend this flat for anyone who has difficulty walking up four flights of stairs. We may be seniors but we are in decent shape and no problem. The lift has a metal door that some forget to close, which makes it unable to be used. We also got stuck in the lift twice between floors on two occasions. It was not working when we vacated which meant we had to carry luggage down four flights. Now know, the steps are not all the same size so have to be careful. The bathroom towels ought to be on the bed because they are on a rack that some cannot reach so had to step on a bench to get them. The little sofa in the living room was made into an extra bed for us and it was basically supported by some containers under the bed. That sofa ought never be used as a bed even tho it is a sofabed. The other regular size sofa has two covers on it. It needs to be replaced. The flat needs a good cleaning around the corners and edges. The mirror over the bathroom sink is cracked and taped up. The owner uses this flat as an office and 1/4 of the living room is her desk, monitors, etc. There is too much stuff in the flat, stuff that needs to be taken out. The walls all need painting and seriously, who puts stickers on a wall for decoration? We were not looking for luxury; just clean and comfortable. The good: The owner meets you at the tube station and communicates well. The location is very good. The radiator works well. Tub and sink good.

Host ghosted us, we had to book something else

Our host never send check-in instructions, despite acknowledging our payments. We were unable to contact the host prior to or after or arrival in London and had to work with VRBO customer service to get a refund and find an alternate booking standing on a sidewalk in South Kensington, London with our bags. I hope our host is alright, and I give huge kudos to the VRBO customer service team for prompt and comprehensive attention to our situation.

Cromwell Rd Flat a Great Location

This was a perfect place to stay for our 2 week Christmas holiday visit from Canada with our daughter and son in law. Stephen our host was very kind and helpful upon our arrival and even made a few little repairs with the hot water system when we arrived. The flat contains all necessities to make a stay enjoyable and the fact that the building had a lift made getting up and down super easy. The inside of the building was super quiet and very clean and the little bit of road noise from Cromwell Rd was not bothersome at all - we even had our windows open every night. The flat could use an upgrade on the mattress and maybe a more comfortable sofa - but this did not impact our stay in any way. The location is close to everything you need - groceries, restaurants, shops and transit. You can definitely to walk to many places from our flat. We hope to be able to use this location on another visit to London. Thanks Stephen for helping us enjoy a wonderful holiday.

London Vacation

Two seniors shared the flat using both beds. We were very comfortable and appreciated having the wash machine along with detergent to keep up with our clothes on a 10 day trip. Location was great, short walk to Earl's Ct. tube station and plenty of restaurants and bakeries. If you are a light sleeper there is a fair amount of traffic noise even up 4 flights, but we did fine with a travel white noise machine. We would book again if we come back to London.

Don't stay here

Host left us waiting 2 and a half hours on the street for access because his phone was off. Host does not communicate well through VRBO. We booked for three adults but the third bed was a very short futon style couch with raised ends and a bar down the middle. It was impossible for an adult to sleep on. My daughter ended up sleeping on the lumpy couch. Hot water went off every other night. Linens were stained. There is a lot of road noise as it's on a busy street . I would definitely not recommend this listing.

Decent place, good location

Location is great. About 3/10th mile to Earl’s Court tube station, and 4/10th mile to Gloucester Road station. We walked home as late as 10pm and never felt unsafe. Close to 3 grocery stores, and lots of little restaurants. Apartment was adequate. Small kitchen with small fridge, microwave, and stove - we could whip up a breakfast and have a cold drink when we got in. We were there for 11 days, but spent little time in the apartment other than sleeping.

Great place to stay

Stephen is a great host. He greeted us at the tube station and walked us to the apartment. He gave us an orientation of the area and house , the things to watch for and some great suggestions of places to eat. The apartment is well located. Direct bus to here from so many places like Oxford street and such. Hop on hop off bus stops were a few minutes away.. Having the elevator was so helpful. It was fairly warm when we were there but manageable with fans
..we needed an extra one and Stephen provided it graciously when we requested. I would gladly. I don’t back and stay again.

Should have been better.

The owner of the apartment is very nice, friendly and tries very hard to please, unfortunately we wanted a "holiday apartment", this apartment was too well lived-in, very tired, with too much clutter eg. 2 huge tables with computers, 2 very tired uncomfortable lounges, no proper dining table or chairs. No TV and being on the 4th. floor a lift that occasionally worked, not ideal for elderly folk or those with health issues. this issue could be fixed quickly if someone made an effort.

About the host

Hosted by Halyna

Host profile image
Originally from Australia, I live & work from home, very close to where the apartment is located, running a small business of my own. Hosting guests from abroad keeps me in touch with my own past as a backpacker exploring Europe!

Why they chose this property

Quite simply, it's a home away from home!
The neighbourhood is full of interesting history and was for a long time, one of the most convenient and economical arrival points for those arriving to make London their new home!
