Great location and accommodations!

I stayed in David's flat for four nights and could not have been happier. The flat has a great location and is easily accessible to Heathrow and major tourist attractions in London. It was spotlessly clean and had some great "hidden" features like heated towel racks in the bathroom. David is an amazing host and left a bevy and solid recommendations from a local perspective.

Fabulous stay!

I stayed here for a few days with my mother, sister, and son for a few days visit in London before we headed back to Houston. The location was absolutely perfect for us to get out and explore and there were food options galore. Communication with David was easy and he quickly answered every question I had. He gave very detailed directions to his place and for check in which we very much appreciated. The apt itself was exactly as described and David has a wonderful guidebook filled with lots of good information. We didn't cook here, but if we had wanted to, everything we would have possibly needed was included. The only thing that could have been improved was fluffier pillows, but everything else was truly great and I would definitely stay here again

Great location!

Perfect location- close to several different underground stations. Small apartment for our family of 5 but we didn’t spend much time in the apartment so location was the most important factor for us. Helpful, very detailed binder with all apartment & neighborhood info.

What a neighborhood!

David's place is so cool! Covent Garden is quite the hubbub, but the flat is far enough off to be very still at night. Quite walkable, close to everything on the West side -- I walked up to Camden Town one day, a couple miles but so pleasant: the great parks and architecture along the route. David's decor is certainly unique, and his library is omnivorous and thought-provoking. (He's clearly an interesting character)' The kitchen's as well-stocked as my home, and I entertain quite a lot. Also want to point out that we had a medical issue, and he responded quickly to a request -- even though he was in SF, a 9-hr difference. Overall, a perfect place to stay when you're in London.

Super location

Location is perfect. The property has everything we need, even interesting books. Many super nice restaurants are around. Owner provided very detailed instructions. The first night we didn’t figure out the way to heat up the floor, so it was a bit cold. We had to put multi blankets. But overall , it was a very nice stay.

Fabulous Location and Clean Flat

I recently stayed with my family in David’s flat for three nights and it was wonderful! The flat is located in one of the best and most lively areas of the city. If this is your first time in London- stay here! David is a wonderful host and sent along a guide to help navigate London and everything you need to know to stay in his flat. I highly recommend staying here and plan to stay again soon.

Great spot in the heart of SoHo

This place was perfect for a couple days in London. The place was clean, well kept and modern (love the bidet!) Communication with the manager/host was great and timely. I was able to coordinate a quick drop off of my luggage before check in, which was GREATLY appreciated. I'd def recommend staying here if you need space and a great locale.

Wonderful flat!

This quaint, clean, centrally located flat was perfect for my husband, my son and myself. The beds were comfy and the little extras like teas, basic cooking supplies were an added plus for a couple eat in meals. I would highly recommend this place for a stay in London to explore all the amazing things London has to offer. The guidebook was a great help for suggested pups, restaurants and attractions.

great 1bedroom apt in Covent Garden!

Owner was great during booking process sharing ample info about apt and area. We loved location as there’s so much close by and underground just a short walk. The cozy apt met our needs for family of 4 thought we mostly just slept and showered there! Would definitely stay again!

Strongly recommend it!

The apartment is very good for two people. Nice sized living room, with a good and spacious couch that turns into a bed (fitting two more people, we did not use it). Large counter to eat and organize our days. Plenty of sun light and lamps. The kitchen has more accessories than I have at my own home (lol). Fully equipped. David is very nice (although we never met). He left some food (just asking to try to replace if we used it), spices, sugar, salt, water, etc, etc, etc. A mini fridge and a mini freezer. Microwave, oven, washing/dryer machine and a exclusively drying machine. There’s a binder with all information on the apartment plus (very thoughtful of him) information on touristic sites to visit, restaurants, markets, and so on. The location is also great. The street is a bit dark and has no people at night, but we did not fell unsafe at all. Plus, it is a very quiet street. On the other hand, it is within walking distance to some of London’s greatest places (Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, and much more). Subway nearby also. The only suggestion we made is for him to exchange the carpet for a wood floor, people with allergies like me suffer with carpet dust… Bottom line, would definitely stay there again! Oh, and we are paper map people (lol). Leaving one or two free papers maps would be great!

fabulous location, perfect space

We could walk everywhere from this apartment -- very close to lots of great restaurants and pubs, as well as a fabulous comedy club. The owner was very accommodating of us and our request for early check-in, which made a huge difference after a long overseas flight. Convenient to the Tube, and perfectly appointed, this apartment was exactly as advertised -- we would definitely stay there again!
