Fresh clean property in a perfect location

We chose this property because it was near a tube station, grocery stores and restaurants: all were just a few minutes away. The property is spotless and well decorated. The management company is very attentive and friendly. I gave it four stars because the TV and WiFi were inconsistent.

Great location, responsive property manager

My husband and I were visiting our son who is studying abroad. This flat was perfect. It was super close to the Gloucester tube stop for our arrival from Heathrow. Close to tons of restaurants but also has a nice kitchen for when we wanted to eat in. Comfortable beds and a nice shower. And the property manager was responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this rental!

Entire stay was great!

The apartment was very clean, nicely appointed and in a great location. It was as described and the pictures are accurate. The only issue I would have, and it’s a minor one, is the checkin process is done with a series of YouTube videos and no one meets you on arrival. However, the videos are very clear and we had no issue getting into the flat. We didn’t use the washer, dryer or dishwasher and operating those might have been a challenge without a bit of guidance though. Having said that, I would still VERY strongly recommend the flat for a London stay!
