We loved the place, small thoughtful gestures such as coffee/tea, heater on request for an older parent (we didnât need to use since there was a heat wave) and proximity to the local transportation.
This place was awesome! We had a family of 6 and it was great. Having the washer/dryer is perfect. The kitchen is nice and well stocked. The beds are all comfortable and having 3 bathrooms is good when you have alot of girls!! We didnt take alot of picture of the house. The location was really nice and close to the tube and several good restaurants and grocery stores. Adrian is great about communication and telling you where to go and what to see.
Great location with easy access to the tube. Well stocked kitchen! We wished the living room/dining room was flip flopped with the downstairs bedroom, but we used the patio table instead. Also, I would have appreciated more towels, including having some wash clothes would have been nice. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We were able to get into the city every day with ease.
Everything about this stay was wonderful. Adrian and Kelly were wonderful, they were particularly helpful in providing us with a crib and supplies for a 13 month old baby, so we did not have to bring them with us. They also allowed us to check in early which made the travel day much easier for everyone.The house was wonderful, it has a lot of stairs but the first floor bedroom and bathroom made a big difference. The location was ideal, outside the center of the city, on a quiet street with a small park and playground outside, a short walk to multiple transportation options.It was a great location for us to be able to explore London.
Out host was excellent. We appreciated his immediate responses. Also, great directions and recommendations. Location was phenomenal. My family and I had a memorable and enjoyable holiday!
Property was great. Good location near transportation. All within walking distance. The only issue was figuring out the heat system. Hopefully there is directions going forward. We would go back again.
Everything we could have wished for. The owner gave us detailed information about the property and the area. All went like clockwork. Definitely a home from home. Thanks!!!
Stayed here while attending a conference and was delighted with the neighborhood and the history around it... Very easy and fun way to move around London via the ferry which is steps away... Very open, cozy and feeling of comfort overwhelmed me every time I came back.
Just a wonderful stay!
Excellent location in safe and quiet neighborhood with convenient and quick public transportation to London. Great communications with owner, very helpful and accommodating. Three level brownstone with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Well appointed kitchen. Neighborhood had plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shopping. Would definitely book again!
To stay in London in a Historical building while in a neighborhood environment with local pubs and markets yet still a simple and easy boat river ride from all of London's main tourist sites is an attempt to describe a stay at the Royal Arsenal. Funky and cool, yet Elegant and Historic⊠Posh yet understated⊠Simply Wonderful!
What more can I say more than I plan to return here - yearly!
Every was perfect for our stay in London. The house was close to the Underground station, pubs and restaurants, grocery stores, and the shopping district. Our property manager helped us promptly with directions and other questions. The house was clean and in good working order. A definite place to stay if you are visiting London. Michael R
My family stayed here for in November 2024. The townhome was exactly what we needed; it's exactly as it is described. There was six of us in total and we needed 5 bedrooms. The house was within 5 minutes to both the Tube station and the pier where we took the Uber Thames Clipper into Central London.
The house was also convenient to several restaurants, we enjoyed the Dial Arch and the SALT Works. There is also a Gail's bakery and a Starbucks just outside the Tube Station.
Adrian was such a great host; he offered suggestions on where to go and where to eat. He was very responsive and communicative.
It does take time to get into Central London, so I would recommend filling your day in London and coming back to Woolwich for the evening. The townhouse is a great place to get away from the hustle of London and provided a home away from home on our trip.
With only 2 days notice, Adrian, the property manager, was incredibly helpful and communicative.
Kelly, the on site representative, went above and beyond to accommodate our additional guest last minute.
This property was ideal for our business trip and had everything we needed. Very clean. Superb location in a surprisingly quiet neighbourhood.
Overall an incredibly smooth and pleasant transaction.
To begin with, communication with our host was excellent. We were provided lots of information about where to shop, where to eat, what to see, and how to get around. The townhouse was as advertised. No surprises. The kitchen was very well furnished, and the addition of both a clothes washer and dryer was a real benefit. Beds were comfortable, and everything was in good condition. Location was also very good: short walk to catch the tube, trains, or buses. Several grocery stores were nearby, and lots of shopping available in a 10 minute walk. We were very satisfied with the property, and we would definitely stay there again on our next trip to London.
Spacious Townhouse with Convenient Amenities but Challenging Layout
I recently stayed at this property, and overall, it was a pleasure. The space was ample, with enough beds and bathrooms to comfortably accommodate a family of five. The standout amenities, including a washer, dryer, and dishwasher, were incredibly useful during our stay. However, the layout could improved. The kitchen is on the ground floor, while the dining area is one floor up, making it impractical and somewhat dangerous to carry meals and hot drinks upstairs. Additionally, the bathroom fan on the top floor was not functioning, causing the bathroom to stay steamy and the towels damp. Despite these issues, the property was clean and is located very near (a short 3 min walk) to the Elizabeth Train line.
We work in the high end international travel business.. based in Switzerland, but spend time travelling all over the world. My wife and I have just finished renovating a beautiful medieval chĂąteau in South West France. ChĂąteau St Paul is a bit of a project with its own church among other things.. Available now to book for seminars or weddings. We have all sorts of old artefacts. some of which find their way into the London homes others are staying put in France.
This London property has easy access to all parts of the Metropolitan area. Situated next to the Thames it has the added bonus of being near to a Thames Clipper boat pier, this service runs into Westminster and several other stops on the way.. London Bridge, Tower of London. The three train stations near-by offers access to the Underground and Overground train service.. Elizabeth Line Woolwich Station is directly opposite the pubs 300 metres from the house.. direct to Tottenham Court Road in 20 minutes, Oxford Street and Soho, next stop Bond Street and on to Heathrow Airport if you must. Excel is the first stop and then Canary Wharf. The two other stations are situated in the market square.. 400 metres away.. fantastic for shopping.. one of the few real London markets still in existence. The house is very easily accessed from any of the airports, especially London City which is 5 mins away on the DLR train. Heathrow Airport direct on the Elizabeth Line via Paddington. The areas around the house are carefully managed gardens, parks and walkways along the Thames and around the museum, with limited vehicle access, it is very quiet for London.
With the park, gardens and Thames walkway at the front and around the house.. a remarkable lack of traffic and noise, this house is a fantastic place to return to (especially on the boat) at the end of a hectic day in the City... Maybe stop at one of the three pub/restaurants..The Dial Arch, The Guard House (a little more formal) or The Tap Rooms micro brewery with lawns and trees outside in an area that doesn't allow any traffic..and sit on one of the old cannons on the lawn and have a beer. Elizabeth Line Woolwich Station is directly opposite the pubs.. direct to Tottenham Court Road in 20 minutes, Oxford Street and Soho, next stop Bond Street and on to Heathrow Airport if you must. Excel is the first stop and then Canary Wharf.
Or equally a fantastic place to wake up in.. cross the park to the Cafe Jade and get a Latte, and get a morning smile from the people you pass and the staff at the Cafe..is this really London? Near the cafe is a Tesco mini supermarket and a M&S FoodHall..
The market by the station.. a short walk.. has an amazing selection of fruit and veg.. and the High St has all of the well known English brand shops.. There are also classic East London Cafe... Eel and Pie Shops, a must try.
