Great stay

This was a great property. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels, supplies, etc. for our stay. Very prompt communication from the owner.

Great apartment for exploring the city!

We really enjoyed our stay at this great apartment, the location is really good as a base for exploring the city and Brick Lane is a short walk away. The apartment was very clean and tidy, check-in was easy and the host was very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again and it's a great place for spending a few days exploring London!

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient

This apartment is very comfortable. Easy living on a sweet neighborhood within walking distance of lots of shops, restaurants, and the London Tower and River areas. But also very very quiet! Our hosts were remarkably kind and responsive and worked hard to make our stay very happy.

Nice simple place (what we wanted) in a great area. Perfect for our needs. The door lock and the radiators were a little tricky but were fine once we got the hang of them. Would do it again.

Good location just not great for a family. Very loud. Fight and police activity outside the flat one night. Hot water supply dodgy, explained in the welcome packet but did not have access to this at booking or until the night before. Only had three people but still was an issue. Only 2 1/2 rolls of toilet tissue for 7 nights so had to buy our own, not a big deal but still odd and have not experienced that in many prior VRBO stays. Early check out at 10 am. No television, not an issue for us since we all use our devices but may be for some. Owner was responsive and seemed very nice

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location
I chose this property because of its location (near business meetings I was attending) and the advertised "beautifully converted Victorian" atmosphere. The fact that it was a 3rd floor walk-up was not obvious in the initial description, although I fault myself for not reading all the fine print in the listing. The stairs were a bit of a physical inconvenience, but mostly resulted in very noisy comings and goings by others in the building. This was obviously a known problem, as there were signs in the flat warning against talking in the stairwell.The host asked me to upload my identification and that of my traveling companion in advance of arrival. When I challenged that request, I was told that pictures would do. Even that seemed unusual. I was concerned about identity theft in that partial payment had been made with a credit card. While the flat was nice and clean, it was fairly spartan. No television, no microwave, few towels (no washcloths), and the Wifi stopped working within 24 hours of our arrival. The latter was a particular problem because mobile phone reception was also poor.Communication with the host was via email only and was just short of unpleasant, with a focus on not being able to help in any way with special requests. Check-in involved two door code systems, both of which were finicky to use. The Wifi problem was not resolved during our stay (5 days). No basic information about local shops or restaurants was on offer.

8/10 Good

Disliked: Listing accuracy
We needed to be in a specific area and this flat crossed all boxes with what we were looking for. My biggest complaint is that the listing specified that one bedroom offered a “king” bed. That was the main reason I rented it. That was not the case according to American standards and it was a queen. Unfortunately we were there during the June heat wave with temps in the 90’s and this unit had no AC which we were aware of but the fact that not all windows opened and those that do only about 4” so it was incredibly stifling. They did provide 3 fans . A top sheet would have been nice as the down comforters were too heavy for the heat so I bought a sheet to get us through. The flat was well appointed with a well stocked kitchen and was close to T station, market and some restaurants.

Eine schöne und gut ausgestattete Wohnung

Der Gastgeber war super lieb, zuvorkommend und jederzeit erreichbar. Die Wohnung war sehr schön und mehr als ausreichend ausgestattet. In die Stadt sollte man den richtige Weg wählen, einige Straßen sollten eher gemieden werden.

Confortable et bien Situé

Nous sommes venus à Londres pour passer les fêtes du jour de l'an. L'appartement est confortable et bien équipé. A signaler juste l'humidité malgré une aération forte, prévoir de sortir les serviette avant la première douche pour qu'elles restent sèches. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cet appartement au calme et proche du centre.
