Two adults and a 9 year old had a wonderful stay. The flat was in a great area, close to transportation, but away from the crowds. Quiet at night, but right by everything you need.

We had a really nice time staying here! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could’ve needed. We stayed with our 2 tweens and it worked out great. The neighborhood was awesome too. We loved both the Chinese and Italian restaurants right across the street. On the street right outside, on the weekdays, it turns into an entire like food market with vendors selling all types of food. It smelled amazing every morning, but it wasn’t loud or disruptive. We were never there for lunch, but it looked so delicious. We had a lovely time and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun London city experience just a little off the main spots, but still super accessible.

New Year's visit to London

Stayed here for 3 nights over NYE. This was our first trip to London. Great location -- quiet street, coffee shop next door, restaurants and market close by, short walk to Liverpool Station. Host was very accommodating and great communicator. Comfy beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teens. Terrace was great.

4 days in London

This location was nice. The bed rooms were comfortable, but could use fans for the warmer day/nights. The check in process was a little weird, as there wasn’t clear instruction for the door to get into the apartment. Luckily we arrived as the same time as the cleaning person and we were able to drop our bags while she cleaned. The stairs can be a little bit daunting with your luggage, so keep that in mind. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This was a perfect place for our family of four to stay. We enjoyed the area and could easily get around the city from this spot. Milena was an excellent host and always quick to respond. We could tell that she genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. We talked about getting a hotel room, but so glad we didn’t.

Wonderful trip

Melina’s property was perfect for us. It had all the amenities we needed, and more. The neighborhood is fun with several pubs and restaurants within a short walking distance. The street market was a special treat during the week. We’d choose a vendor then take it up to the rooftop deck. We were lucky and had good weather almost every day. Melina was extremely helpful and gave us some great recommendations

The apartment was very nice. Lots of room to spread out. It is bright and cheerful even on some dreary London days. The king bed is very comfortable and the shower was small but great. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. We are in our 70’s and the many stairs (though we’re in pretty good shape) got tiresome. There is a nice washer but no dryer and we couldn’t get the TV to work. It’s a safe, quiet neighborhood and near two tube stations, but it took awhile to get to the action at times. I would recommend it if you don’t mind the stairs or the location. The owner is communicative and delightful. All in all enjoyed our stay

Great location, quiet area in the evening, tons of food options just outside the apartment. Tube locations 5-10 minutes away. Flat is on the 3rd floor, but you have a wonderful view on the rooftop terrace. Our family really enjoyed the flat’s layout and great beds.
