We had such a wonderful time during our stay in London; the location is perfect for getting around but also a little quieter than other areas for when we got back and wanted to sleep. Would definitely stay here again! Hosts were responsive and flexible with our travel plans, and made sure we had all we needed.
Property was in a great location. We had a few minor issues on the first day and they sent a maintenance person out to fix the issues but the person came late evening. Otherwise this was a good place to stay as it was convenient and location is in a safe neighborhood
Clean, cosy studio in a lovely area! Our delayed trains resulted in us checking in late however the host was very accommodating - 10/10 would definitely stay here again! ☺️
Everything was easy. The staff very helofui and kind. We hope to come back soon:

Great location and accommodation for a couple of nights. Basic but functional and suited out needs. We had problems getting access to the apartment when we arrived as host didn’t arrive and didn’t apologise for delay when they did appear. Person on phone did try to help after my 3rd call which was appreciated
The highlight to this place is its location. Wonderful neighborhood with all the shops and restaurants you could want.
The facilities were clean. The check in process was so-so.
The major drawback was that the sofa bed was without hyperbole the worst bed I’ve ever ‘slept’ on. No exaggeration, the springs were digging into my skin so badly that I bruised.

Lovely spacious room with all the amenities required for our stay in London. Great location right next to the miseums and only a few minutes walk to the nearest tube station.

The apartment could have been cleaner and needs a bit of tlc. Pictures on website not really the same as in reality. Bed settee definitely not meant for an adult. In terms of staff and location both excellent. Tube literally 5 minutes walk and Royal Albert Hall only 13 minutes.
Location was very good, and apartment was quiet.
However we had a few issues:
- last floor with broken elevator, and no warning ahead of time, nobody to offer help with luggage
- refrigerator was not properly fixed to the wall: the first time we opened it, it almost toppled over and could have severely injured someone, especially as we had a young child with us
- apartment was equipped with the ultra minimum. Not asking for much, but perhaps just coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper would have been nice as opposed to just ketchup packets left from previous tenants.

Lovely apartment and good location for Science Museum and Royal Albert Hall. Looking at the pictures I thought the apartment was on the top floor with balcony but in actual fact was in the basement. So would double check this when booking. It may have been my fault for not checking but as it was only for one night it was not a problem. I would recommend.

Overall, a great experience, and I would stay here again. The location is excellent—safe, well-lit, lively, and close to major attractions, shops, and the subway. The only downside was that the elevators were not working, so going up and down four flights of stairs was inconvenient, especially with luggage or after walking all day. The host was excellent and always communicated clearly, responding promptly to our questions and requests.

Very clean, no traffic noise, nice layout, well equipped, a little noise from the flat above but nothing out of the ordinary. Have already booked to stay again.

Pretty expensive for what you get. No elevator. Not the cleanest. They provide one key (even for a party of 4) so if you lock yourself out, you have to coordinate a time to let yourself in. That said, they were responsive.

Amazing trip
Really enjoyed this part of London and the cost of the room was amazing for what you got. Glad we stayed here and we will be back next time we come to London.

Location was great, but the premises were just ok. We were with 3 adults, so it was really awkward having only one key. We couldn't come and go separately b.c. of that. Bathroom had some nice amenities, like a heated floor and towel bar, and the water heat and pressure were good, but the shower head wouldn't keep it's position, and it was really hard to keep water from going outside the tub. AC was nice but difficult to control (either always on or always off). And the elevator didn't work--feel bad for the folks who stayed a floor or so above us. Finally, the place was a little cramped even with 3 people, so there's no way I'd want to stay there with 5 (the listed capacity).
Seems to me that much of what I'm pointing out is easily fixable, so I don't understand why that hasn't been done.
Communication was excellent. I was contacted prior to arrival and communication was constant right up to the day of our stay.
Check in and out was simple and we were greeted by a member of staff on our arrival at the property.
They were still in the process of having a quick hoover when we arrived but that didn't bother us and they were very polite about it.
The property was great and has all the amenities.
It very much added to our time in London.
