Comfortable flat, great location

My daughter and I spent five nights in the flat and enjoyed its space and great location. The rooms were comfortably and attractively furnished and very clean. We walked everywhere but public transportation was readily available. I would stay there again.

Lovely Apartment

It is a very large and beautifully decorated basement apartment. Noise from traffic and outside. But, you are in a large city and that’s to be expected. Good restaurants and pubs close by. Easy walk to West End theatres. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful location

Lovely apartment but windows & sills need to be better maintained & screens installed to prevent urban grime from coming in. Mattresses should be upgraded in both sofa sleeper & queen size bed.Pluses are location, kitchen, patio & lovely bathroom. There are substantial & elegant cabinets & shelving in the home but basics as noted above are important improvements that should be made in such a lovely property at this price point.We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location and Space

The location was perfect for us, as it was easy to make our way around London. The home felt safe and secure and didn’t find it too noisy at night. Having the door for the living room served well for creating personal space for our adult daughter so it was like having 2 bedrooms. Communication was prompt and the flat was easily accessible and clean. Would love some higher quality toiletries but everything else that was perfect wouldn’t allow for a deduction in ratings. Would be happy to return.

Beautiful and Comfortable!

My daughter and I stayed here for a week and loved it. It's furnished just like the pictures but it’s bigger than it looks. Bed is very comfortable, sofa bed it’s useful and the kitchen is big and fully stocked. It was very easy to check-in & Out and easy to communicate with owner. The property is walking distance to Chinatown and many good restaurants. It’s close to tube station and easy to get around all over london. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great Location; As described

The location of this property - a short block from the British Museum - is ideal for exploring those parts of London most often visited by tourists. The property itself is large, and yes, is in a basement. You do hear noise from the street during the day and early evening, but nothing to interrupt a night's sleep (there are no pubs in the immediate vicinity). It was very clean and when we did have an issue, the property manager responded quickly and was on it. No complaints.

Excellent location

We enjoyed the location tremendously. We were there for 8 nights.The place was clean. All appliances that we used are in excellent condition. If you expect to cook, you’ll have everything needed in terms of utensils and so on. There is very little extra in the kitchen as for spices, and so on. The mattress for the sofa bed in the living room needs to be replaced. It’s lumpy. I was tired enough to sleep from exploring London, but it leaves a lot to desired. The place is quiet, even with a neighbor above. We did hear a few sirens. They did seem to stop during the night, though.

So perfect for us!

We came to London for our first time during the last week of May. We had no idea how walkable the city was, and we felt like the location we were in couldn't have been better. We walked everywhere, but a couple of times we did take the train, and the station was so close and easy to use The flat is decorated so cute, we had all the amenities we needed, and the furniture was so comfortable, including the sofa bed! The neighborhood was quiet, so we always slept well, but there were many cute places to have coffee or get groceries nearby. Also, Our host was so quick to answer our questions, and we so appreciated the early check-in we were able to get that day. All in all, we can't recommend this beautiful flat more, and we hope to be back!

Perfect Location for a London Experience

We stayed for four days at this lovely apartment with our two teenage daughters for sightseeing, shopping and a college visit. The apartment is exactly as described: it is a basement flat in a quiet side street one block away from the British Museum. Within a 20 minute walk all the main sights of central London are easily accessible (and London cabs and Uber are plentiful in the area). The flat is in the basement, so natural light is a bit limited, but it easily makes up for it with its quirky charm and its clever renovation. It is quite luxurious and comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen (which we didn't use because of the plentiful dining out options). As previous reviews stated the mattresses in the main bedroom and in the pull-out sofa bed in the living room are a bit thin. The flat is generally very quiet at night, although there is some street noise during the day, based on some interesting acoustics. The location couldn't be anymore perfect, with numerous small restaurants close by. For us, this was a perfect experience to live like Londoners do. Finally, our host Bjorn was incredibly responsive and helpful. Overall, an extremely delightful visit.

Lovely

The unit was great! We loved the location as we used the underground daily and it is just a few blocks from 2 stations. We went to several shows and some theaters were within a 15 min walk. The British Museum is right around the corner. There is a small convenient store down the street and a larger store 7 min walk away. We had everything we needed! The only downside of a street level unit in a central location is some street noise from trucks and pedestrians. But being a side street it was minimal. The decor was as cute as pictured and the bed and sofa pullout were comfortable for us. Kitchen was stocked with essential equipment and nice newer appliances. Large built in cabinets in the bedroom made it easy to unpack and feel settled in.

Moldy bathroom

On second day of our stay power went out in bathroom due to leak from above. I had to ask host to bring extension cord to bring a lamp into the bathroom to be able to see after 3 days of darkness & walking around a bucket to catch the dripping water. Took 5 days for plumber to finally fix the leak. Meanwhile, mold had multiplied on bathroom ceiling. Host refused to refund us any portion of our stay stating the leak was not his fault. As for the rest of the flat, mattress needs replacing as you can feel different springs when rolling over. Windows are mostly below street level so you don’t get a lot of natural light. You also hear a lot of street noise all night. Living room & kitchen were cozy but I would rent somewhere else for my next stay.

As far as location it is excellent!!! BUT there were a few issues. 1) the listing specifically stated that the unit has a dryer. It does not!! We had planned the trip so as to do laundry and there is not dryer. Upon reaching out to the host who replied very quickly, stated that they had a drying rack which is not a dryer. 2) there is not grill on the property.3) they supplied a Bosch coffee maker but no pods. Went to four stores to find the pods but no one carried them. This is probably the reason there were a whole bunch of open instant coffee packages in the cabinet. We were on the road for 5 weeks and stayed at 16 VRBO's and this was the worst supplied stay of all of them. But the location is excellent.
