Christmas In London
My family (5) stayed at this flat for 20 days over Christmas and New Years. It was perfect. Great space, great location (Queen's Park station is convenient to everything).Host was very responsive and even went out of her way to see if we wanted a Christmas tree so the kids wouldn't have to go without!

Almost Perfect
This was a great spot for us on our short time in London. Communication and helpfulness of the host were excellent. And, the property was mostly what it was advertised to be. The only challenge for us was parking. The listing noted parking available. However, a permit is required from 8;00am - 6:30pm. Which we did not have.The app at the nearby lot, to pay, was not working. So, we ended up having to drive into town, and park wherever we were headed for the day, rather than public transit into Central London, as planned. That being said, the host was extremely helpful in trying to find something that worked for us. And, the drive to Stonehenge and Bath was worth having the car.

Nice flat with easy access to local eats, tube, and bus
A nice flat with the basics of what you might need. It’s a roomy ground floor unit. The kitchen is well furnished, and the other rooms have the basic furnishings. Our host was very helpful and communicative - she gets five stars for sure. The building was under renovation while we were there, but it didn’t disrupt our stay. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the local restaurants. The Salusbury is incredible. Go there and go there again!

Average stay
The home was plain (obvious staged a bit more in photos). Door to exterior was through very small second bedroom and no cushions for the outdoor seating. Hall lights didn’t work and no lamps for reading in the evenings- just overhead lights. The kitchen is a small room off the hall, which wasn’t ideal and there was left over food from previous renters in the cupboards which was not appealing. (Have used box of cornflakes, open half used bag of pasta etc). The owner was confused and checked us into one of their other properties in error one street over from where we were actually booked. Too bad- the first location was lovely and so our spot even more disappointing. Owner also sent a note for steps to checkout advising cleaners would be at our place at 10- but had to correct her again that in fact we had another day before we were leaving!! It was okay- but wouldn’t stay in this flat again.

Great city break
I took the family for a weekend trip to London. They loved it. We were able to walk to the tube to explore the city. There is a lovely park nearby also. We'll be back again. Thank you
