Very clean, nice property. Host was very responsive and check in instructions were very detailed and easy. It was hot and the bedroom windows wouldn’t open, so the first night was uncomfortable. We learned to open the window in the main room until the house cooled off, and that solved the issue. Didn’t want to leave that window open all night as it faced the street. The king bed was very comfortable! We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely flat for family vacation to London

My family vacationed in London for 10 days and this flat was our home base. The checkin/checkout instructions were easy to follow. This cute flat was clean and provided the space and comforts of home. The neighborhood’s quiet and the neighbors are so friendly. Another benefit of this rental is the wonderful host, Nicole. Nicole was communicative from the initial inquiry through our entire stay. Nicole also provided several meal and travel recommendations and promptly addressed any questions and requests. We were very pleased with our accommodations and Nicole’s hospitality.

Nice flat with easy access to local eats, tube, and bus

A nice flat with the basics of what you might need. It’s a roomy ground floor unit. The kitchen is well furnished, and the other rooms have the basic furnishings. Our host was very helpful and communicative - she gets five stars for sure. The building was under renovation while we were there, but it didn’t disrupt our stay. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the local restaurants. The Salusbury is incredible. Go there and go there again!
