Great flat⊠nice neighborhood up the street, on an odd corner but worked out fine! French restaurant was delicious. Good accommodations for a bigger group in London!
Stayed for 3 nights, 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 13, the apartment was perfect for us all, plenty of space and felt like a real home from home. Had everything we could of wanted. Convenient that there is a Tesco 1 min walk away to grab some drinks and snacks, and only a couple of mins walk to the tube which was great, excellent location and would certainly stay again. Have already recommended to friends and family.
Photos are a little misleading. This is a very small place on three floors. Relatively close to the Borough Market, a hike to other points of interest.
Great little flat with a very attentive owner. A decent amount of room to spread out and well appointed space. Slightly off the beaten path but with good access to mass transit to the city center. I would stay here again! Thanks!
We loved Matthews property. The multiple levels make it perfect for a few couples or families. It provided excellent access to the underground. We would definitely recommend it.
Easy and quick communications with Matthew, found the property easily and Irma was waiting to show us the flat when we dropped off our bags. With 5 of us staying there was plenty of room within the flat, good kitchen space, ample room in bedrooms and great shower. Flat central enough with easy tube links to everywhere (Kennington station 5 mins). Thanks really enjoyed our visit.
It was a good location between 2 Underground train lines. Small but big enough since we were out during the day. The street noise bothered my wife. Otherwise itâs a great value for the money.
Fairly central location with all the amenities you need (including laundry!). Walking distance to the South Bank of the Thames and the London Eye. Conveniently near underground stations; restaurants, pubs, and a market. Three levels with enough space for our family of four. Enjoyed the terrace in the back and a view of âthe Shardâ skyscraper from the front.
It's a really nice and clean apartment. Owners are very cooperative when it comes to check in and leaving. Close to the city center ( Big Ben, London eye etc). The underground and a supermarket are right by to ease things up a lot.
I can definitely recommend it !
I searched for a long time to find a place that was not only close to nearby places but something that would be comfortable for our family. This place was exactly what I wanted! It was so modern and cozy, having everything you could possibly need. The tube station is literally down the street and there are tons of restaurants and a grocery store nearby! Matthew and his manager Irma went above and beyond for us, checking in on us throughout the week to see if we needed anything and even helping us order a taxi at 4:30am to get back to the airport! If you need a nice place to stay that's affordable, choose this one!
Irma was incredibly helpful and always available. She is great.
I have only three things to comment regarding the apartment:
1) it has 3 floors, and a very small staircase.
2) It is relatively well located geografically, but the surrounding and the entrance to the apartment is not very nice.
3) Overall what you see at the pictures is what you get.
Overall is a good place to stay.
Good look!
We are a family of 4 (kids 11 and 13). We spent a week on vacation in London. This was exactly the sort of rental we were looking for! We had a wonderful stay and a terrific vacation! It was really nice to be able to come "home" after a busy day sight seeing, and really "flop", where the kids could get away from the grown ups :), and everyone could put their feet up, and really have a break.
Pro's -
Lots of separate sleeping areas (2 bedrooms are on different levels, and then the lounge/family room couch can be used, it is on a third level). So you can really recharge at the end of a busy day.
VERY close to the underground, buses, etc!
Super nice hosts!
Washer/Dryer - NOT like we have in the US, but still it helped a lot.
Fully stocked kitchen, and a small market very close, so you can eat breakfast in, get snacks, etc.
Cons -
Being so close to all the public transit is awesome, but it was noisier than we are used to at home.
This didn't bother us, but in case you missed it in the description - the apartment is one floor up from the street, and then three floors, so lots of stairs, if that isn't your thing.
Thanks for a lovely stay! Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!
The apartment was very clean.
There are three floors. Each room is in each floor. Only one bathroom in the third floor.
Our main issue was that there is no AC. We paid lots for two nights, I feel that AC should be expected. We visited in June and it was quite stuffy and hot inside. The introductions say to open the windows but when you do you have the main road in your living room. The place is by a main road and we heard motorcycles, ambulances and cars all night.
A second issue we had is that the beds didnât have proper sheets. Not sure if this was a mistake but we had only a duvet with no sheets. It was too hot for it anyway but it feels unsanitary and I doubt the duvet is being cleaned between each guests. Sheets between the duvet and bed should be placed.
Other than these two things the place was fine and we enjoyed our stay.
The host was quick to respond to messages and help with a last minute adjustment.The apartment is located near the many transportation options and near a few good cheap eats.Great stay if you need two rooms and a comfy bed
Four of us stayed here and the space was perfect! The outdoor terrace was a nice bonus. The location is a bit out of the way from typical tourist areas but this also made it a nice break from all the crowds.
The property managers were great in getting back to us regarding the property. Short walk to tube which made it easy to get around. Everything you need in the apartment. Accommodated our family of five with ease. Paid parking available next door. Conveniences within easy walking distance. Great service from friendly hosts.
My husband, myself and three children enjoyed our stay at this property. We stayed for a week which gave us enough time to see many tourist sites (as much as can be seen with 3 children) that were easy to find off of the subway system (closest stops were Kennington and Elephant & Castle). There was enough room that we could all spread out and a great layout for a family. The Tesco down the street was handy to get milk and any other food we needed. We also made a few visits to the local park down the road when the kids needed to run around.
Within walking distance to so much! Great pubs and grocery store very close by. Beds and linens very nice. Carpet/rug in living room should be professionally cleaned, but with being booked every day, don't know how that's even possible without blocking out day or two. Matthew very responsive. Irma was such a dear! Loved this place! My 21 year old niece wanted to stay a nd live there. Thank you so much Matthew and Irma.
Hi I am an Interior and Fashion designer and with my husband Matthew ( a food gourmet) we have recently renovated this wonderful old listed building. Attention to detail was of utmost importance to us. We have created a home away from home for people to visit london. It is a large apartment and we have called it the London suite.
We have put in a large bathroom with an extra large shower to relax in. Our decked roof terrace is perfect for a romantic dinner
The subway into the centre is only 5 minutes away and we are 20 mins door to door to Trafalgar square and Big Ben. Please visit our website londonsuite for a more detailed description
We chose to renovate this flat here because it is perfect for a fun and relaxed visit to central london. It is a local area and is a good way to see the real London. We are close to the river Thames and all of central London, only 15 mins walk from Big ben which is a great walk across Westminster bridge.
The Flat is in a historical London building with its own private entrance and security alarm. We have many good restaurants and authentic English pubs around and we are a short walk to The Old Vic theatre the Southbank and the National Theatre which has some of the best music and theatre in the country.
Borough food market 10 mins walk away, is a gastronomic treat full of Organic and gourmet foods. Bermondsey antique market has been going for 200 years and is about 15 minutes walk and is full of bargains on a friday morning
Renovated with utmost attention to detail. Designer furniture, super comfortable King size bed with goose down duvets, Egyptian cotton sheets, soft carpets and original art works. This is a unique and special place to stay
