Shameems place near the heart of Walthamstow is a must for longer term London stays. If you want a small neighborhood feel with an easy commute this is the spot. Fun kitchen to cook in overflowing with spices and flavours that they encourage you to use. Great stay!

Number 2. Regents Park Apartments

MeganRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a great 4 night stay with our 2 kids, 10 and 6! It was a perfect location as a jumping off point, and we took various lines on the tube and multiple different buses all from a 5 or so minute walk from the apt. We also went to Regents Park (my favorite park in London) multiple times. And of course the convenience of a pub/restaurant right downstairs, where everyone was super accommodating, couldn’t be beat! We would definitely stay here again next time we come to London for a visit.

A little mix up on arrival but was soon sorted and was met and let in to the apartment. Great location just 2 minutes walk from Abbey Wood station and large Sainsburys which came in handy over the weekend. Host was very responsive on text and after leaving my Son realised he'd left his Apple watch in one of the bedrooms. A quick text and check of the apartment found it to be there and was returned within 2 days of our return home - so very grateful! Apartment was tidy, 3 floor to ceiling windows in the open plan living/dining room, great for light but we did keep the blind lowered on the big window (it was broken) but provided much needed privacy. All in all a great location and facilities for a weekend's stay for 6.

Charming Family Home in Great Location

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews7 months ago

Hannah's house is just lovely, maybe the only airbnb I've ever been to where I could totally imagine living there myself. It's a beautifully decorated adult space, but with loads of stuff for kids and lots of separate living spaces. Our toddler was ill the first few days we were here, and the toys and books were an absolute godsend, as was the lovely garden. We stayed here while visiting family in the area, but it's really handy for the central line and would also be a great base for visiting London. I'd definitely recommend this place, and would love to come back and stay here again.

Spacious Apartment in Earls Court

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews5 months ago

Zar and Ebba helped me out by allowing me to book their place, while I was waiting for my refund to come back from Airbnb, after my original booking with Airbnb was cancelled just 5 weeks before travelling to London. Their help relieved a huge amount of pressure. The booking process was easy and the check in to the apartment was just as smooth. The instructions and communication from Ebba was first class. We stayed in the apartment for a month and Ebba kindly offered to call in half way through to see if everything was ok. It was. The apartment was a 5 minute walk from Earls Court Station which made getting around London incredibly easy. Earls Court is on the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow which was so easy. It’s also on the District Line which gives you extra options to get around. The apartment was spacious, however cosy and very warm. The facilities were excellent and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again. 5 Stars

History & Design in East London

WhitneyRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We absolutely adored Nehal’s place. It was very accommodating and cozy. Her kitchen was well stocked so it made it easy to cook for NYE dinner. The main two bedrooms are on the first floor which is great when you have big bags. However, there are a set of flight of stairs you have to climb to get to the unit altogether. (Then again that’s most European flats so no surprise there for us) The main bedroom (the pink room) was extra cozy and I felt right at home. My only complaint is the lack of lighting in the bedroom and the bathroom. It is very dim. Since there are two bathrooms, I simply just moved to one of them to get ready. The balcony was a plus. Nehal also gave us a list of places to dine, shop, and play which was extremely helpful. We would stay here again! I highly recommend.
