Wonderful for a family of 7

It was very appropriate for four adults and three teen-age children. Was beautifully furnished and all essential items were in the kitchen. The children's bedrooms were spot-on. Would love to return again.

Wonderful property

Overall the experience at this location was outstanding. A few minor issues were addressed quickly by the owner and didn't, in anyway, detract from our experience. This location was unbelievable and if you are looking for a great location in London to get anywhere, look no further. Hoping to stay here again in the future.

Excellent location and spacious flat!

This flat is in the perfect location in central London. Close to Trafalgar Sq, two Underground stations and the Embankment pier for boat transportation. Easy walk to Buckingham, Covent Garden, and Leicester Sq. Plenty of room to spread out and has everything you could need (including umbrellas!). The pictures do not do it justice! Owner and management company were very responsive and getting the keys was easy on arrival. Highly recommend and would stay again!

London Escape

The flat is in a perfect location and extremely convenient between Charring Cross and Embankment Underground. It was a wonderful home base for several attractions within Central London. The owner was great to work with and extremely responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend this flat for families looking to make a trip to London.

Fun flat in great location

This is a very large multi-level flat that was perfect for our family of seven. The bedrooms and baths are on the lower level, so you do need to take luggage down stairs. The furniture is comfortable and in excellent condition. Decor is very English and fun. There is a great kitchen that we just didn't use. It is within a block of the Charing Cross train station, and the Embankment tube station. Buses galore at Trafalgar Square. Walking distance to many London highlights. Nearby pubs are great!

Great location - Perfect for a family trip to London!

We were in London recently on a trip with wife, two daughters and my in-laws. This apartment was perfect as it was spacious, well-appointed and comfortable. It was centrally location which made it easy to travel to all parts of the city. The pub around the corner was one of many conveniently located restaurants and grocery stores were a few minutes away. Property managers were responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect London Location for a family of 6

First time to London with our family of six. This flat was the perfect accommodation. General living area and kitchen and bedroom and bathrooms were lovely. Super fun British decor ! The location of the flat was perfect. We used Charing Cross and Embankment Stations any time we were walking. So close to everything! We could get to Picadilly Circus, Westminster/Big Ben, and the Palace in easy walks. Very close to fun pubs- but our street was quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Our host Phil answered all questions and communicated quickly!

Great Flat in the perfect location!

We were a group of 2 adults and 5 kids (ages 10-14). The living space and kitchen were perfect for accommodating our large group! The primary bedroom is huge and we put one kid on the sofa in there because the bunk room was a bit tight for 2 older kids and all of their stuff. This worked well. The little alcove was perfect for one kid and the queen bedroom was adequate for the 2 oldest kids. The location was amazing! You are just around the corner from busses and 2 tube stations. Cabs are also always available at Charing Cross. There's a coop grocers very close and lots of quick food options. Honestly, it's such a great location that we could frequently walk where we wanted to go.

Great location

The flat is located on a very nice, mostly residential street about a block or two from Trafalgar Square. It is very large and well equipped (although we didn't use the kitchen) and the beds were comfortable. The owner was very responsive and helpful but there were a few things I wish I had known ahead of time. I would caution senior citizens that the steps down to the bedrooms and bathrooms are very steep and difficult to navigate. For young people, this might not be a problem, but for me it was a major concern. The wifi only works upstairs and the signal was sporadic. I only gave the check-in process 3 stars because the check-in person talked so fast and handed us the keys that we never really understood how the locks work. We could never get the key to open the front door and for the first two days we made sure someone was always in the flat because we were afraid we would be locked out.

Großes Apartment in perfekter Lage

Die Wohnung liegt nur wenige Schritte vom Trafalgar Sqare und der Charing Cross Station entfernt. Im Erdgeschoss sind eine große Küche und ein großes Wohnzimmer. Im Souterrain sind 3 Schlafzimmer sowie eine Nische mit Bett. Ausreichend Platz für 6-7 Personen. Das Masterschlafzimmer hat ein en-suite Bad und es gibt ein weiteres Badezimmer. Die Betten waren bequem. Die Ausstattung ist insgesamt sehr gut. Die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein, war für die 4 Tage okay. Der check-in war etwas holprig, da die Agentur beim ersten Anruf meine Reservierung nicht finden konnte. Deshalb die Punktabzüge. Grundsätzlich kann ich die Wohnung auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

The perfect choice to visit London

As said in the other comments this flat is perfectly located (crossing of northern and circle/district lines). We where 6 people and we had as much space as we needed. The flat is well equipped including hair dryers, umbrellas, vacume… We highly recommend that stay.

The location was just incredible - close to Trafalgar, Covenant Gardens, Parliament, and the palace. It is also metro accessible for everything not within walking distance. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. I would stay again and highly recommend it to anyone else.

Excellent location and property

Location allows for an easy walk to many tourist sites, restaurants, shopping and tube. Flat is large and well furnished, easily accommodating our family. Flat is on ground-level so we kept blinds shut for privacy, but we were out all day so the lack of natural light wasn't an issue. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay here again.

Exceeded all our expectations

This property is wonderful! Set on a low traffic side street, right around the corner from Charring Cross station, you are a short walk from many key attractions and numerous food options in Covent Garden. The property is roomy and very comfortable, with lots of British charm (including a pub right next door for a pint to end your day). Owner very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by philip housden

We are Sarah and Philip and have owned this property for almost 10 years. We regular spend weekends there with our teenage boys and are continually trying to maintain and improve the decor and furnishings for guests to enjoy. We recently recarpeted and have updated some of the beds and renovated the en-suit shower. The flat is in the true heart of London and allows us to regularly get to the theatre and visit London galleries and museums.
We work and live near Canterbury in Kent where the boys are still at school.

Why they chose this property

There are few more authentic period London flats that are as convenient as this for visitors to London. The flat is very spacious and really is in the true centre of London.
