Hidden Gem
Great property that is away from London Central but a short walk to the tube and 4-5 stops to Trafalgar square. Excellent hosts though we suspect Bruno (the dog) is the real organiser. There are stairs which was no problem for us but worth noting. Very cosy

Great place, we enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed using the kitchen and living space and the beds were clean and comfortable. The main bedroom overlooks a stunning garden. The accommodation is a short walk to the Tube and the hosts are friendly and helpful.

Perfect apartment, perfect hosts!
We were greeted warmly on arrival by Nic who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The apartment was absolutely perfect for our (not so) little family of six. The beds were super comfortable and all rooms were spacious. There was a great little kitchen living area and a large bathroom. The apartment had everything you could want with every little convenience included right down to a hairdryer and straightener! To top this all off there is a stunning beautifully tended garden out the back. The place was lovely and quiet. Both the train station and supermarket are also close by. Nic and Ben (and the gorgeous Bruno) went out their way to make our stay perfect. We cannot recommend this place and it’s location enough.

Jumping off point for exploring London
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment---it was comfortable for our family of five (two adults and three teens), is located close to the tube for easy travel, and was within easy walking distance of shopping areas and parks. The owners of the property were available and friendly. The garden is an absolute oasis! Highly recommend.

Great flat in Brixton
We had a lovely stay in this rental. The location was great and the host was very accomodating. It's a great place for those who want to stay in a neighborhood setting while still being a short tube ride to central London. I highly recommend!

Bruno and Nico were wonderful
We had a wonderful time staying at the top level apartment for 4 days. Ben was out of the country on a holiday, so we only got to meet Nico and their adorable dog Bruno. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. Our teens shared one of the bedrooms, and their Dad and I were in the master, the living area and kitchen was perfect for us to hang out together in and the Underground station was only a few mins walk from the apartment. The only reason I gave the neighborhood 3 stars is because it’s not centrally located in London, a bit more on the outskirts. For our family it was just what we were looking for, but others might want something closer to all the main attractions. We would definitely stay here again!

Space large enough for family of 4
My family really enjoyed our stay in the upper apartment. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating (even had chocolates for our kids). The location is easily accessible to the Tube, and the Brixton Village and Brixton Pop were a short walk away for shopping and eating. The entrance to the upper apartment is via the owners' living area. So in that sense, it is somewhat similar to a "bed and breakfast". It felt like being guests in a home (but the upper apartment has a lockable door and is fully contained). Highly recommended, and I was sorry to not be able to say "goodbye" to the hosts when we left.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Ben and Nico were communicative, so we knew just what to expect on arrival. The suite was just as advertised. East access to the tube, and a short walk to cafes, pubs, etc. We’d definitely stay here again.

Lovely flat that felt like home!
I spent months deciding on which flat to book for my family’s trip to London, and I definitely ended up picking the perfect one. The flat itself is clean, roomy, and comfortable. And we found the location to be perfect - it’s in a quiet neighborhood, but it’s so easy to get into central London on either the tube or the bus. Nico and Ben were both so welcoming and kind, and that’s what truly made the stay memorable. We enjoyed chatting with them in the garden, and my youngest loved feeding the turtles. And I can’t leave out Bruno, whom my kids all said was the best dog they met on our trip (and we did meet a lot!) If we’re lucky enough to make it back to London, we’ll definitely be staying again.

Bon emplacement, quartier tranquille
L'appart est situé dans un quartier plutôt tranquille, station de métro à 5 minutes de marche à pied, mais aussi des arrêts de bus juste à côté; qques petits commerces à proximité qui dépannent bien. L'accueil fut rapide mais sympathique; l'appart en lui même est un peu vieillissant et mériterait un petit coup de rénov; literie moyennement confortable; par contre on a bcp apprécié la vue côté jardin qui est une vraie touche nature dans cette ville. Les propriétaires sont souples au niveau du départ, on a pu laisser les valises et les récupérer plus tard dans la journée.

Great experience in a local neighborhood
The apartment is very roomy and had everything we needed for a family of 4. We liked having the experience of being in a neighborhood vs a tourist area. You do walk through the owner's part of the house to access the apartment, but the owners are very friendly and it wasn't an issue. We felt safe in the neighborhood.

Le lieu idéal pour se poser après des longues journées
Accueil en français très agréable. On a pu laisser nos bagages le temps que l'appartement soit prêt. Le logement est spacieux, propre. Ce n'est pas rénové de manière récente mais bien entretenu. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut. La seule amélioration qu'on pourrait demander, c'est avoir à disposition quelques éléments de base pour cuisiner (poivre, huile, une ou deux épices). Mais sinon il y a sel, café, thé, sucre. Il y a les produits pour le LV et quelques sprays ménagers pour un nettoyage basique après repas. Il y a des serviettes bien moelleuses. Les lits sont ultra confortables. Le chauffage fonctionne parfaitement (ça compte en hiver). Le logement est idéalement situé, très proche du métro , le quartier est calme la nuit. Il y a un Lidl à 10min à pied pour les courses, une boulangerie dans la rue et un petit magasin en face (un peu plus cher). Notre séjour à Londres était parfait et la qualité du logement y a contribué. Lorsque nous yretournerons, ce sera sans nul doute notre choix pour séjourner ! Merci et à bientôt !

About the host

Hosted by Ben Brandstaetter

Host profile image
Hello, we are Nic & Ben and renting out two holiday apartments in the townhouse which we bought in 2006 and renovated it. The building dates from 1780, one of the oldest building in Stockwell, SW central London . Its been the vicarage building of Stockwell Church for nearly 200 years ,

We both love gardening too and if you stay you'll probably see us weeding or maybe tending the chicken who live in an 'eglu' at the bottom of the garden or the turtles in our pond

We love London, so if you've got a question about the capital, don't hesitate to ask. Additional to English Nic speaks Spanish and French, Ben speaks German (as Austrian)

Why they chose this property

The moment we saw the house, we fell in love with it. It is one of the oldest in area , having been built in 1790 as the vicarage for the local church of Saint Andrews. Stockwell is central but not touristy - it takes just 8 minutes by tube to reach Victoria. It's a multicultural neighbourhood that we are proud to live in and is close to the vibrant districts of Vauxhall, Brixton and Clapham.

What makes this property unique

Large windows flood it with light and the 30-metre (100 ft) back garden is unusual in London for being such a good size. When we moved in, the house was in a sorry state, dilapidated and having been used as a squat. We've now restored it to its former glory uncovering marble fireplaces that had been painted over with white paint and lovely wooden floor boards in the process. We love living here and we love having guests to stay.
