About this property

Light & Bright 3 bedroom in Waterloo

Lovely light and bright three bedroom in a period ex-local authority red brick mansion block close to ALL the attractions on the London Eye, Old Vic, Tate Modern, Covent Garden and much more.

The Space

We take great pride in our place, and have recently spent lots of time, energy and money refreshing the decor and amenities to make it is somewhere we would personally want to stay. There is an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage, with nice period features and a warm, welcoming feel. Three generously-sized bedrooms are decorated in calming neutral colours and nice new carpets, with a double bed and good hanging space for clothes. The bathroom has a large shower and sink the toilet is in a separate room across the hallway. The living room has lovely bold palm wallpaper, a small table and chairs for four to eat, and a TV with Netflix subscribed. Good fast WIFI. The kitchen is small but nicely laid out, with a gas cooker, Bosch washer-dryer and dishwasher.

The Location

The real highlight of this place is the location which is, quite frankly, amazing and the main reason we chose to live in the flat originally. It is 30 seconds to Waterloo, with access to literally anywhere by bus, train and Underground. Better still though is where you can WALK to, it is 5 minutes to the South Bank (Tate Modern, County Hall, London Eye, BFI, Festival Hall etc) And within 20 minutes you can be anywhere from Covent Garden to Borough Market, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben to London Bridge. Closer still, we’re talking one minute here, you have Lower Marsh Market with international street food vendors almost every day, The Old Vic, The Young Vic and much more. Did we mention we love the area?

The Building

The building is an ex-local authority/council red brick mansion block, it’s not a tower block or anything like that, It’s actually one of the first and best built examples of this kind of building in London but its a bit scruffy on the outside. This doesn’t affect your stay at all, it’s very safe and actually very quiet in the evenings for somewhere so central, with many families living in the apartments around. But we mention it in case for some reason how a building looks on the outside is super important to you.

Hosting

We work with our friend Hannah to manage chats and greet people, she's local and knows the area at least as well as we do, so one of us will always have the answer you need.

If you’d like to check in after 7pm, we charge £20 per hour after this to cover waiting time and travel charges.

If you’d like to check in early, we charge £75 to block off the night before and then you can arrive anytime on day of arrival.

Wonderful apartment in Waterloo
This flat is in a great location - 5 minutes to walk to Waterloo station and from there we could go anywhere easily! “Lower marsh/ southbank is right outside the door. Hannah was very helpful/very responsive during the booking and lead up to our stay. Nichola met us at check in and was absolutely amazing. We had a little problem finding the flat because google maps brought us to the wrong property but we figured it out. The mattresses should be replaced . And the toilet fill rate should be addressed ( takes a veeeerrry long time). Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time. The flat was clean and there was enough room for the 4 of us to be very comfortable! It was surprising quiet. You can view the london eye from the window! I would 100% recommend- unless anyone in your party has trouble walking up stairs - it is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. Happy travels!

Spacious & Great Location
The apartment was spacious which worked well for our group. We did run into an issue on which there was no power in the bedrooms... We reached out to the property manager and was told this was due to an issue with the previous guest, we were hoping it was fixed during our stay... Initially scheduling was an issue, but it ultimately did not get fixed at all during our stay. Outside of that I would recommend.

Short-Trip London
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und es war alles vorhanden. Die Schlüsselübergabe war perfekt organisiert. Die Lage der Wohnung ist perfekt und man ist überall sehr schnell. London-Eye ist aus der Küche und Schlafzimmer zu sehen ! Es sollten aber die Matratzen ausgetauscht werden, diese sind schon sehr durchgelegen und man merkt die Springfedern. Würde jederzeit wieder buchen !

Great family flat
Our family of 5 found this flat to be perfect for us. The host was easy to communicate with ahead of time and check in was easy. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. A short walk to the Waterloo station made it easy for us to get everywhere we needed to be.

NJ takes on London
Flat was perfect for what we needed (3 night stay) location was great to navigate through the city. Reception was warm and welcoming. Only suggestion is if your not use to “city life” a travel sound machine will help drown out unfamiliar noises. It was nice to have plenty of towels.

Fantastic Location
One could not choose a better proximity to the sites and events we wanted to experience. Most within walking distance, plenty of choices for eats and drinks and comfortable accommodations.

Great getaway - flat met all of our needs.
We stayed the beginning of June. We would leave in the morning and not get back until late, so it really was for sleeping and getting ready in the morning. We found the flat to be comfortable and we were able to walk to so many locations. It is a 3 bedroom and my sons liked not sharing a room. The bathroom is separated with a toilet in one room and a shower and sink in a separate room. There are no outlets in the bathroom, but there is a large mirror and many outlets in the living room so using hair dryer, etc was easy. It is near an ambulance bay so one night we did hear some street noise as we kept windows open. It felt safe and was a good value for the cost. The location was so convenient. The manager was friendly and responsive.

Cute apartment - Great place to stay.
This location actually works very well to walk to the heart of London, which we did every day!! Nice to go back where it was a little quieter. Visit Gail's for awesome bakery, the Duke of Sussex is fun at night for a drink and go to the Imperial War Museum which is free!! The park next store is also a lot of fun and be sure and eat the chicken and rice/beans there.

Good location, messy building
The apartment is in a good location that is walking distance to the train station and Imperial War Museum. Some decent restaurants in the neighborhood but nothing I would highly recommend returning to eat. Now, the building is probably built in the 1950’s and looks that way. It has the appearance of tenement apartments. The unit is on the fourth floor so don’t bring heavy suitcases as there is no elevator. The neighbors were quiet but quite messy as you can see in the pictures. Laundry hanging outside doors and personal items visible from front doors. Cigarette butts in a container outside the front door. The interior was clean and acceptable for being old. My bed was comfortable but my son said he felt the springs on his mattress. The toilet is an older style and will take about 5-10 minutes for the tank to refill so don’t everyone get up at the same time. Now, a very big issue we had for four days was NO Wi-Fi as the unit host promised to get it fixed but never did. In today’s world Wi-Fi is a necessity, and this was an extreme inconvenience. We had to pay extra through our own provider to get any outside communication. Would submit pictures but not seeing where I can do this. I do not recommend this vrbo for the price we paid
