My friend and I absolutely adored staying at Atin's flat! Atin and Isabelle were wonderful hosts with excellent communication, helpful tips, and were very warm and welcoming from the jump. The flat was clean and cozy with lots of light and everything you could need to make yourself at home. The neighborhood was perfect with easy access to public transport, shops, and very walkable to nearby parks and sights. I lived in Hackney for years, and everything about this stay felt like I had just come home again! Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in town!! Much love to Atin and Isabelle!! :)

Captivating One Bedroom next to Train

Gursondeep SinghRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Eni was a lovely host. Was kind enough to give an early check in and late check out (we ended up having the Sunday with time change!) Easy to clean and maintain, had all the facilities needed. The Enfield station was at the front door step, we used this to go central and visit other areas in London. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the place as much as we would have liked to, hope to go back and enjoy the home away from home stay again! Town centre was only a minute walk away. A lovely cafe called Jolly’s - the sweetest staff and great matcha! Would highly recommend, great place to relax. Love the little touches Eni has around the flat. Pretty plant, photos, side tables, lamps, car park🅿️ and more, everything gave a clean stylish feel. Convenient for all. Thank you Eni 👍🏼

KirstieRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Elsa’s place is great for a stay outside the hustle and bustle of central London. An easy 15 minute walk to the tube that will take you straight to the centre, we used this as a base for a gig at Hyde Park and travel was incredibly easy. The space is comfortable, private and clean with everything you need and Elsa kept in touch to ensure we could easily access the property. The use of the drive way was also incredibly useful. Would highly recommend.

Stunning 5 bedroom detached house in Hornchurch

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nova’s property! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect – close to underground, yet still peaceful and relaxing. Nova was an exceptional host, always quick to respond to any questions and making sure we felt right at home. The thoughtful touches, like Wine bottle and Roshen chocolate, truly went above and beyond our expectations. We can’t recommend this place enough and would love to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

ClareRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We stayed at Tea’s place over Christmas and did all our Christmas cooking there. The house is a home and feels very homely. Tea was very prompt in replying to any queries and was always helpful. The house was clean and tidy; it is very near to local cafes and restaurants. It is also right beside a lovely park with lots of space for walks. I highly recommend Tea’s place and will definitely consider it for future visits to London.

Your guide to London

All About London

One of the world’s most visited cities, London is a rich tapestry of history, culture, and innovation that come together seamlessly over 600 square miles on the River Thames. Even if you’ve never been to the English capital, chances are you’re familiar with its sights like Big Ben, London Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. You could spend months exploring its world-class museums, sprawling Victorian gardens, and A-list theaters and still not scratch the surface.

London’s creative drive extends beyond the exhibition halls and onto the plate. The city is an epicenter of gastronomy, boasting some of the most diverse cuisine in the world. Indian curry houses line Brick Lane, Jamaican jerk chicken shops populate New Cross, and the aroma of grilled Turkish kebabs welcomes you to Stoke Newington. In between meals, you’ll find high-fashion boutiques, niche markets, and some of the oldest bookstores in Europe. Just make sure you save time to spend a Sunday afternoon with a classic roast dinner and your beverage of choice at a corner pub — you’ll fall in love with London in an entirely different way.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in London

London’s weather is fairly mild year-round, but that does not mean it is always warm and sunny. Rain is part of the charm in the capital, so it’s smart to pack an umbrella and a trench coat. Flowering trees and blooming gardens make spring a lovely time to visit, while a visit in December promises Christmas markets and holiday magic that emanates across the city. The weather is likely to be the best in summer, while chilly winter days make for a perfect excuse to park yourself in front of the fireplace and warm your stomach with some snacks at a pub. Regardless of when you go, keep in mind that there is no off-season in London and no shortage of apartments to rent.


Top things to do in London

Shopping in Shoreditch

Every Sunday, London’s trendiest neighborhood is home to Brick Lane market. Wander past buskers playing live music and striking street art, and you’ll find stalls selling vintage clothing, antiques, and wares by local designers. Duck into basement thrift shops and past warehouse doors that house artist ateliers, and follow your nose to Upmarket, a sprawling street food hall, for a smorgasbord of international snack options.

Barbican Centre

Amble past the Southbank booksellers and turn your eye to the Brutalist beauty that is the Barbican. Part apartment block, part multidisciplinary art complex, it’s a one-stop shop for revolving contemporary art exhibitions, to take in a London Symphony Orchestra concert, see the season’s top-billed independent theatre, or watch an arthouse film. And in December it hosts one of the city’s most charming outdoor Christmas markets.

The Shard

If you’re looking for views, you won’t get better ones than from the tip top of the Shard, a 72-story skyscraper that towers above London Bridge. It houses several restaurants and bars, each one serving up delectable views over the city skyline. Whether you’re after modern British fare, craft cocktails, or afternoon tea, you’ll feel on top of the world looking out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with the whole city sprawled beneath. Naturally, the most impressive views are to be found at sunset and into the night.
