Experience London from this stylish Zone 1 penthouse, nestled alongside Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. A lift conveniently near your door whisks you up to a contemporary retreat with three cosy seating areas and a generous terrace boasting panoramic views of the park, Londonâs iconic skyline and glimpses of the Thames.
Step outside to explore the Gardensâ City Farm, the charming Tea House Theatre and a host of lively barsâall on your doorstep. Youâre only five minutes on foot from the Tube, placing the capitalâs top sights at your fingertips. For an unforgettable stay in a vibrant riverside borough, look no further than this welcoming home-from-home. For my US friends, I live very very near the European US Embassy.
From previous guests experience this property also really suites well those of an older generation and with walking impairments as its very close to the Metro, bars, restaurants and supermarkets within a few minutes of walking!
Loved the location. Next to metro and beautiful park. Amazing skyline! Great commutation with host. He provided thorough instructions and lots of detail of things to do in London. We enjoyed our stay here.
Paul is a fantastic host! Very responsive & chock full of information. The flat is airy & spacious by London standards. Lovely balcony. Next to a park. So easy to access public transit!!! We were very pleased with our stay!
Close to transportation and a good place for nice weather
I only have minor reservations. I emphasize the good weather because thereâs no clothes dryer, but warm weather does the trick fairly quickly. 2 minor things about the kitchen-the knives are very dull, so you have to be very careful using them, and the frying pan could use a lid. Still recommended- thereâs a lot of great stuff within walking distance, and several bus lines operate at the tube station only moments away.
Lovely property near transport hub, bars/restaurants, shopping and attractions.
My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights. Communication with our host, Paul, was outstanding from booking through the end of our stay and we were provided with a comprehensive arrival guide upon booking. Getting to the apartment was very easy via the tube from Heathrow and the apartment is only a 3 minute walk from Vauxhall Station.The apartment was very tidy and well appointed containing all necessary appliances and conveniences and felt cozy without feeling cramped. The kitchen was completely adequate with a four place hob, oven and everything required to cook and serve meals. The building in which the apartment is situated is controlled access and the private terrace overlooks Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and offers great cityscape views. There are dozens of restaurants within easy walking distance, as well as at least three grocery stores including a Tesco Supercenter.The proximity to Vauxhall station allows you to travel quickly around town with most major attractions less than 30 minutes away door-to-door. Tate Britain is about a 15 minute walk via the Vauxhall Bridge and a return via Lambeth Bridge allows views of the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben.Overall, this property and host are both outstanding, highly recommended.
This top floor flat is very nicely and comfortably furnished, with a great view from the large balcony, and a nice large park right across the way. Quite close to food stores, restaurants/cafes, and underground/train/bus stations, and with a very helpful host!
I can't say enough good things about this lovely and well-located little flat. As described and maybe even better! The host was so helpful and available. It was my family's first time experiencing London and all of Paul's suggestions were spot on. Hope to get back again soon.
Great interactions with host! Really helpful for the London neiphyte. A well supplied appartment whose proximity to tube, restaurants and local colour made for exactly the stay we were looking for.
This lovely apartment in Vauxhall was a perfect retreat after busy days in London. The underground is 5 minutes away, making access to the entire city so easy.
Paul is a gracious host, always available if you have any questions. The apartment is quite comfortable, equipped with all the essentials. We loved the neighborhood, lots of great ethnic restaurants, lovely river walks and easy grocery shopping.our weeks stay was a delight.
This property is clean, and large, compared to other locations Ive rented. It had everything youâd need for a successful trip. Paul sends lots of information about the apartment and the Vauxhall area around the apartment. The apartment is on the top floor with an AMAZING patio to put your feet up after a long day of sightseeing. Enjoy a beautiful sunset, and the park down below. The apartment is close to every form of public transportation as well.
This was an amazing experience! Paul provided excellent communication throughout, from prior to our departure until we left to go home. The property is very nice, plenty of room for 2 people and a nice location near transportation, grocery and dining. He was available to answer questions very quickly and provided hints and suggestions for exploring London. We definitely recommend Paul as a host and his home as your home while in London.
LOVED our stay!
What a nice place in a great location to see all of London. One reason, I reserved this place was because of the good reviews about Paul our Host and he did not disappoint. You canât go wrong with this place. Great safe location, close to transportation hubs, restaurants, and popular tourist locations. Very easy to get anywhere from this location. Home and accommodations were very nice and offered a great quiet place for us to relax after a day of sight-seeing. Great views as well. We took some great nighttime photoâs, from the penthouse and plan to have the picture framed to remember the trip. When I come back to London, I am staying here.
Not only did the apartment meet our expectations, but it exceeded them. The introduction information including directions, maps, manuals, etc. simplified every experience. We felt like we were coming home after each long day of being a tourist. It was comfortable, attractive, and had a breathtaking view. The owner gave us excellent suggestions regarding recommended pubs, sights, and directions. The neighborhood, Vauxhall restaurants, and park below were full of families from a wide variety of cultures. It always felt very safe. Train, buses, and the underground were only a block away. Perfect!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paulâs lovely flat. The location was perfect. It is located by the Pleasure Gardens, which are nice to stroll through, and is central to the vibrant local neighborhood with various restaurant and pub options, plus nearby grocery stores. Additionally, it is a short 5-minute or less walk to the Underground and train station. This made it very convenient to travel anywhere in London. The flat was clean, cozy, and inviting, with everything you might need and more. We loved coming back to the flat to relax after a long day. We also enjoyed the terrace overlooking the park with great views of the city. Paul provided lots of information about the local area and recommendations for London. Communication was great! I would highly recommend staying at Paulâs for your trip to London.
The location of the property was pretty good, as advertised - easy to get to the Tube, Buses, etc.
However, the apartment has an ANT issue. I have written correspondence (WhatsApp) proving that he confirmed he has problem with ants every year because of the greenery he has on his terrace. My wife even stopped watching TV on the only seating in the small living room area because she kept finding ants on her.
Mind you, I was just letting him know - I NEVER asked for a refund or any form of compensation. Again, he confirmed that he's aware of the problem and asked for pictures. I sent several pictures of ants in several different locations around the kitchen and eating area. I also confirmed that we barely ate there and what snacks we occasionally ate were kept in the refrigerator and the counters were always cleaned. When he saw the pictures, he wrote back apologizing again and offering a refund on one of the days and I gladly accepted and told him that I really appreciated that.
However, about 9 days after we returned home I realized that I had never received this refund he offered. When I wrote him asking if he was still sending the refund, the response I received from him was like I was speaking to an entirely different person. Now he completely denied having an ant problem, accused me of "blackmailing" him (again, I never asked for anything from him), and said VRBO would never post my review even if I posted one.
Strange gentleman, indeed.
I can't say enough positive things about this flat and host! From pre-booking on through to checking out, Paul was super responsive and so very helpful.
The location is superb being only 5 min walk to the tube and bus station as well as having quick access to the river walk along the south bank.
The flat offers all amenities needed for a home away from home stay and Paul provides an amazing amount of help and information for navigating London.
Be sure to also check out The Tea House Theater just over the other side of the park for great desserts in a cozy atmosphere!
I am Welsh. I have a successful career in Government in Digital Services. I have travelled a lot and stayed in people's homes. I try and give guests the best possible experience I would want when I travel. This is really important to me. I am doing a master's in psychology and training to be a life coach and change careers, so the need to help others and enrich people's lives rubs off on me for being a host.
Vauxhall is one of the most cosmopolitan areas of London as I like that people are really across ta wide socioeconomic scale, so everybody feels inclusive. I live in the park so they can not build in front of me, for London that is gold, so I have an amazing few of the park and beyond.
