Ideally located 5 min walk from Vauxhall underground and an easy 20 min stroll to Westminster along the ThamesProperty really big and great for a large group/family. Comfortable beds but worth noting the stairs to the mezzanine. Not for you if looking for a modern feel, but clean, tidy and ideal for our family of four (with teens).Amanda always replied to my messages but largely leaves you to it!

This was a lovely and unique VRBO. A was very pleasant and responsive. She allowed us to drop off our luggage early and did what she could to support us while there. The home is “quirky” but exactly as she described. It is very close, a 5 minute walk max. , to the easy to navigate tube (metro). There are multiple restaurants in the area and the ppl were incredibly friendly.

The place was in a safe neighborhood not far from the train station or bus. We chose this place mainly because it was near the Black Dog pub. The accommodation has three levels with steep stairs. The first level being the entrance. The second level being the living room and kitchen. The third level being the bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We loved the water pressure and the shampoo and conditioner they provided. The place was not a clean as could be, it was quite dusty along the stairwell. Overall, lovely place.

Great location!

Beautiful residence and in an excellent location for central London. We walked to many sites from there and easy tube/train access. Downsides: we came in the middle of a heat wave and the place got very hot and it was hard to sleep. It also has steep stairs which was tricky with the luggage. However, I think if it hadn’t been so hot it would have been a comfortable place to stay.

Wonderful stay!

What a jewel! This historic home is so full of character and charm. There was plenty of space and the kids loved the lofted beds. We really enjoyed feeling like we were staying with the locals but also so close to the tube and all the sights. We ate at the Black Dog on the owners recs and it also did not disappoint. We absolutely loved our stay here!

Almost perfect

I loved the house it was beautiful, unique, spacious filled with amazing touches from the Victorian era just truly like no where else I've stayed before I really loved the upstairs loft beds something about being in alil cave bed made me happy. Now the one annoying thing that's the only real issue is the temperature/ thermostat the first night we where FREEEZING and I did everything I could to warm the house but didn't learn till the ext morning I had no control of the thermostat and had to message the owner thru the app to turn up or down the heat. This resulted inmultiple nights of point of waking up in ur own sweat to freezing cold mornings ! The morning of check out we all had to get ready and leave in the freezing cold cus the heaters didn't turn on till 7 when we where walking out the door. If they where to give there customer temperature control I'd say this was a 5 out of 5 for sure but that one little detail made the house uncomfortable numerous times a day . Beds where great sheets and blankets where great pillows where perfect. Fresh plants everywhere ! Guite literally almost perfect

Lovely flat in Vauxhall

We stayed for 6 nights in 10/2024 (Sun-Sat). Could hear club music Fri night. My teens LOVED that there were two lofts in the two bedrooms for them to sleep in. I had a full-size bed in one of those rooms and it was fine. The entire flat is a bit quirky (we're American) but worked great for us. The 1st floor (street level) goes up to the stairs to the 2nd floor (living room, kitchen, & balcony #1), then up again for the 3rd floor (full bathroom, bedrooms, & balcony #2). There is a washer but no dryer. If you plan to do a lot of laundry, you might find it challenging to dry. Fridge is half size, with the freezer being literally a slot (but works well). All the furniture is tired and probably in need of a refresh, but works fine. Favorite parts: skylight, window seats in the living room, park and separate playground across the street, location, and easy access to public transportation. Least favorite parts: the ceiling leaked during rain one night, but the owner is already taking care of it; being able to hear pretty much everything the neighbors were doing between 7-10pm; no dryer for clothing beyond the rack; and the high entry point to tub/shower. Not recommended for those with mobility issues (stairs). We loved this flat and would stay here again in London!

Family Visit

The property was clean and located near transportation and restaurants. We were in town to move our daughter into her dorm at LSE and it was a nice location for all of us to stay together for a few days before returning home to the US. Amanda was very accommodating and responsive and we will stay again if the property is available when we cone to visit our daughter.

Decent

The location is super close to Westminster and an easy walk. It’s a cute neighborhood with a farm and community garden but the park can be sketchy at night (it is a city) but during the day it’s great. The apartment hasn’t been renovated since the 80’s so it’s a bit run down and could use some work (the pictures in the listing are after a fresh paint from awhile ago) the casings around some of the windows look like they could come apart if you push to hard and some latches are already not fitting. It was mostly clean and had some old charm. Just know it Is well used, with years of people in and out, getting up the tight spiral staircases, the couches are not clean and all the cushions are beat down, so we just threw blankets on them. The bedding was clean, and there are 4 beds (we didn’t try the pullouts) the lofts have head space. FYI a king in Europe is just a queen in US. The plumbing in the bathroom is eclectic you pull a rope and it flushes down, and that’s fine but the shower is so close to the wall you have like only 10” to stand under and try to get your hair wet plus the tub has a tight slope so just know. The kitchen was cute and had the clothes washer under the counter. The only other appliance we used was fridge, both fine. The listing had said a dryer and hot tub - neither of those things exist. Amanda was super nice and let us drop our luggage off early so we could walk around while she got the place ready, she cleans the place herself so she does what she can.

Apartment with character

I stayed with my family of six. There was a queen size mattress in aloft that my husband and I stayed on it was very comfortable. There was A futon in the room that one child stayed on one night. It wasn’t super comfortable for them, But it was a nice option to have. The other room had two full-size mattresses that were comfortable. The Family room had a couch that can fold down. I had a child that stayed on that one night and it was decent, but not as comfortable as the mattresses. It’s definitely worth staying here again. We walked to Westminster one morning and it was a beautiful little walk. It’s close to Victoria tube Line, Vauxhall station. The only real complaint I had is, we could only find three bowls, and my 4 kids really like to eat cereal in the morning. lol The host was very easy to contact and very accommodating!
