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.

Charming one bedroom nest in heart of Kensington

AntonellaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We had a great stay at Catherine's place, which is conveniently located and in a very nice area. It is decorated with taste and you have a feeling of being at home. The bedroom is very comfortable, the living room, where there is the sofa bed, is spaciuos and enjoys natural light due to the two big windows. However, it would benefit from blinders if you have to sleep there. We were four and the two of us that slept on the sofa were comfortable enough, but found the pillows too soft and were a bit disturbed by the natural light filtering from the windows, even when the curtains were pulled. The sofa bed was comfortable enough thanks to the toppler added on top of the mattress. However, I believe that both the mattres and the sofa need a good washing, and I am sure that Catherine will take care of that. The host is very prompt to answer your questions and to meet your requests. On the whole we had a great stay and would recommend the place. Thank you Catherine for everything

Had a great 3 week stay in this lovely Airbnb! Sofia was super responsive to any of my questions and always helpful, especially when I had a few hiccups. The house is in a great location and super easy to walk, bus or train to most parts of London. The space is airy, bright and comfortable. Close to beautiful Battersea Park, the river and Battersea Power Station for restaurants and shopping. Thanks for being flexible with check out times Sofia and for the delicious fruit on arrival. Highly recommend this flat for an authentic London stay.

I had a fantastic experience staying at Mr. Mil's Airbnb in Stratford, London. The location was ideal, just a short walk to Westfield shopping mall and the train station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The flat itself was pristine, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Mr. Mil is an exceptional host, warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. He provided all the essentials, and the flat was fully equipped with entertainment options for a relaxing time indoors. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting London. It's a perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience!

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.

We had a wonderful stay! The setting was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a romantic escape. There was so much to enjoy right at the accommodation—the aqua centre was a real treat, and we had great fun relaxing in the snooker room. The space was clean, cosy, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything smooth from start to finish. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to couples looking for a romantic and relaxing stay in a unique location.

Stunning Cottage, Perfect Location + Parking

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 78 reviews2 weeks ago

Andre gave very clear instructions about the property. It was in a good location, being within a few yards of a nice play park for our daughter. It was about a half hour walk into Windsor for us with a four year old. Handy to have a small Waitrose and a Tesco so close. The road the house is on is a narrow lane that is not a through road and so parking (with a larger vehicle) to unload was not feasible, especially given that there were people trying to drive up and down the road. I would recommend unloading elsewhere for ease. There is parking on the surrounding streets and we felt the car was safe.

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.

Comfortable micro studio at 4th floor 5 mim/tube

UteRating, 5 stars5 months ago

The apartment is in the middle of London, on a beautiful and quiet street. The house is very well maintained, and although the path to the 4th floor is a bit challenging, the ascent is absolutely worth it! The apartment corresponds exactly to the pictures – everything is sparkling clean and well equipped. There's nothing missing, and the high-quality furnishings create a real feel-good atmosphere. Especially pleasant: in the bathroom there are even Rituals products. Beatrix always responded very quickly and solution-oriented to our questions. We felt completely comfortable. This place is a 10/10 – we will be happy to come back and can fully recommend it!

John-GiuliaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in London. Communication was excellent, and Ewa provided the best check-in experience we’ve ever had. The space was spotless, spacious, and had lovely views. The kitchen was well-equipped with essentials like dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, etc. which was a nice touch. The duvet in the master bedroom was a bit narrow for the bed size, but with access to spare bedding, we easily resolved it. Though we only stayed for two nights instead of the four we initially planned, we’d be delighted to return in the future. Highly recommended!
