Guest Reviews

• Wioleta (10/5): -
• Ilona (10/5): Super👍 - Vše v pořádku,super lokalita,ochotný majitel. Snídaně pro naši pětičlennou skupinu byly dostačující.Ráda doporučím a rádi se opět vrátíme.
• Gonzalo (10/5): -
• Maria Paola (1/5): If you're traveling for work, I advise against staying here. They do not issue invoices. - The property owner has declined to provide an invoice, despite it being clearly stated that this is their responsibility and not that of Booking.com. This refusal has made it impossible for me to obtain reimbursement from my company. If you're traveling for work, I strongly advise against staying here. They do not issue invoices. The apartment is centrally located and spacious, offering convenient access to nearby amenities. However, it is quite noisy, which may affect your comfort during your stay. The noise levels are particularly noticeable at night, as the upstairs neighbor's television is clearly audible until they go to bed. Additionally, the street below features a pub and a parking area, contributing to the nighttime noise. Another concern is the presence of mold in the bathroom. Mold thrives in damp environments and can pose health risks, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. I advised the owener to address this issue promptly to ensure a healthier living environment.
• Ezgi Çiğdem (7/5): -
• eveline (8/5): Fijn appartement alles was aanwezig en schoon. - Top locatie
• Angela (8/5): The shady stay - Location fab. Breakfast a delight. Facilities great. Needed a sofa in the big main room due this room being a living room space when the apartment is booked out for a stay. The taps are a tad Leakey, and definitely need plugs for the sinks.
• Jose Alberto (10/5): - Lo mejor fue la ubicación. El piso está excelente y el anfitrión es muy agradable. Seguro volveré a repetir.
• Ian (7/5): -
• Ned (10/5): - Great location!
• DALCI (5/5): Difícil. Todos ficaram incomodados com a higiene. - Eles deixaram os produtos para prepararmos um café da manhã bem simples. O banheiro. O vaso sanitário está num canto sem pia para lavar as mãos. A pia e o chuveiro ficam no final do corredor, ou seja, você faz suas necessidades e sai sem lavar as mãos. Achei uma falta higiene total.
• Karen (8/5): Excellent location and pretty comfortable. - Excellent location and easy to find. Good instructions an prompt response from owner. Some mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. - not too bad but noticeable.
• Marlene (10/5): My holiday at Big Ben Shade - The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and clean. It was in a good location and close to many attractions. There are various grocery shops, street food venues, cafes, and restaurants nearby. I really enjoyed it here. Nothing to dislike
• Riccardo (10/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): The flat worked well as a base for us. - This was in a good location for us and nice to stay in a flat rather than a hotel. The directions to the flat given by the host made it easy to find. (relying on google maps only got us close) The shower fixing to the wall was broken, the shower itself worked well. However, we reported this and were told that it would be fixed. Having breakfast, tea, coffee & milk etc was great.
• Mark (9/5): - Owner was always available & very helpful. He made special arrangements for us to collect passports that were left behind after hours.
• Tracey (9/5): Superb - Breakfast and milk was already stocked up for us on arrival
• Ferencne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lione (5/5): It was disappointing. - The Location was the highlight of the apartment. The breakfast information in the booking is misleading, I understood the breakfast was included, it is not clear that some bread/ham/ cheese/milk would be left in the apartment. One of the main reasons I have booked this apartment was because it had breakfast. Also, contact was very difficult, all the time I tried to call the number in the booking was in the voice mail. Only response was on the messages in booking, but after couple hours. But the worse for me was the cleanness, I had to hoover the apartment as it was with a lot of dust, specially under and behind the beds, where I also had to clean. I even had to empty the hoover bin as it was completely full.
• Veronica (10/5): Excellent i will go back again - My family and I had a fantastic few days, all the tourist sites were within a 15-minute walk, the apartment was very nice, clean, everything was organized, the staff was excellent and helped me a lot. I will return to the same place again. I like everything
• Maeve (9/5): Superb - Amazing location, 4 minutes to tube but could walk anywhere really Nothing it was great for us , family of 5, stayed 2 nights , great price
• Jennifer (10/5): Flexible, responsive host; well-stocked and commodious apartment in a terrific location! - Our host was terrifically flexible and responsive, allowing us to check in/leave our luggage early, and the fridge was stocked with milk and OJ, fruit, even cheese and deli meats! The location was fabulous, right near Westminster Abbey and Big Ben (and our conference site), and there was a great street right there with a wide variety of food stalls set up during the weekdays, plus a grocer right on the corner. Perfect! Three bedrooms, which was helpful once our daughter joined us, and a small but well-stocked kitchen. The location was a little tricky to find until we figured out the layout, but it was a terrific find. We'd stay again in a minute. Thank you!
• Vanya (8/5): Very good -
• Caralynne (10/5): A lovely celebration weekend with family - Location was excellent. We walked a lot!! Was comfortable and clean Nothing
• Herbert (10/5): We enjoyed a great time in London and at Big Ben's Shade. Thank you so much! - Great breakfast, great location and very friendly and helpful staff. The room temperature was a little bit too low. That could be improved. Everything else was just perfect.
• Ciaran (8/5): Very good -
• Tamás (9/5): Superb -
• James (9/5): Good for a family of 5… - Location and accesibility None
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Chanpheng (8/5): Central London flat ideal for exploring the city - Great flat in central London within walking distance from/to Victoria station and other tube stations. The rooms were spacious. The fridge was stocked up with fruits, bread, ham, turkey breast slices, milk and juices for our breakfast. Tesco is just 2 mins around the corner if we needed anything else. The kitchen and bathroom were a bit small for our family of 5. There’s no living room. But the location was great and the rooms are very comfortable. Good value for money.
• Emma (8/5): Great location and welcoming host. We were happy - Amazing central location, very welcoming host and clean. Loved the food in the fridge, there being usb chargers and free Wi-Fi The toilet cistern took ages to refill and one of the rooms I’d prefer small but it was great for us
• Gražvydas (10/5): Perfect! - Location, spacious apartment, super host. To all the questions “is there … in property?” All the answrers were “yes”. Best beer I have ever had is in the pub nearby ;) Unfortunately, cannot mantion any.
• Steve (6/5): Pleasant -
• Greg (8/5): Shady - Great location..cute flat Small kitchen and no sitting area..but you dont nred that if you are seeing the sights
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Great location A welcome food package - just the basics but most welcome
• Andrea (10/5): Perfect spot in London! - We had a very comfortable stay! We had plenty of space and enjoyed that it was on the ground floor! Kitchen was easy to navigate and we appreciated the breakfast items to make getting out the door more convenient!
• Marta (9/5): Fantastic house at a fantastic location - The location is fantastic! It’s close to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben but also St James Park and Victoria. All are walking distance. Although the central location, the house is part of a group of buildings and it faces an exclusive parking area, which means it’s very quiet. The communication with the owner was super easy and he left us very good products for a very nice breakfast. We were 4 adults and the house was perfect for us. The beds are good and there’s is space to move around. We all gathered at the kitchen, which is not big but it works fine and it has everything needed.
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
• L (10/5): Fabulous! I would stay here again in a heartbeat and this my new home when I am in London! - Big Ben's Shade was beyond expecations and the value for money was phenominal! It had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. The flat was colourfull and quirky and right up our street. The host kindly provided breakfast/snack provisions for us including fresh fruit, juice, milk, bread, cheese and lunch meats. We were able to make breakfast at the flat in the morning before we left and either fix something at home or warm up leftovers in the evening. Great pizza spot across the street, too! Proximity to St James's Park and Victoria underground stations was a matter of blocks and St James's Park, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Covent Garden, the Thames, etc. were easibly walkable. Host communiucation was so responsive! He was very gracious when I advised of train delays for checking in and provided an easy alternative complete with photos and a video on where to go. This is absolutely no reflection on the flat but I generally prefer a two-bathroom property. The fact, however, that there was a separate WC PLUS a sink and shower room was a really close second! :-)
• Debbie (8/5): Very well set up, great location and clean and tidy. Great communication and flexibility. - Very well set up, great location and clean and tidy. Great communication and flexibility in terms of bag drops and departure. Dino was a great host Less did not like but more did not expect that the lounge and bedroom was combined. Worked out fine.
• Davorka (10/5): Perfect. Nice. Cozy and good value for money. - The location is perfect. Every tourist attraction can be reached by foot, tube, or any other local transportation. It is located in a quiet part, so, during the night we had a very good sleep without any interruptions. We made breakfast, but we were very pleased that the breakfast items such as fruits, butter, jam, bread, ham, cheese, milk, and juice, waited for us in the fridge. The flat is on the ground floor and very easy to access. The flat is decorated in the English style. The beds were comfy. The place was very well-cleaned and cozy. We met Dino when we arrived. He picked us up at Victoria Station, and we walked to the flat (7min). He is a very nice guy, and he gave us a lot of information and useful tips. He surprised us with a delicious cheesecake and beer. Unfortunately, we haven't met Edwin because he was away, but maybe some other time when we will come back.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Perfect for our needs - Owner very nice. Left cheese, ham, fruit and other things for our visit which was an added bonus. I would definitely stay here again.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Chung (10/5): The value for the location and accommodations can’t be beat! Edwin was great to communicate with! - Fabulous location and a tremendous value. Easy communicating with Edwin. The juice, bread, and jam was a nice little bonus. The washing machine in the unit really came in handy! Floors were a little too dirty to have our baby crawl around. Probably not a typical problem for the everyday traveler.
• Sandra (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, super helpful host and the apartament- you get everything you need (or even more!) Its warm, well equpied and have comfortable bads. All that you need to rest after visiting London.
• Anja (10/5): Perfect location! Excellent host, very helpful and friendly. Everything was great. -

• Jie (9/5): Superb - The place is very convenient walking distance to many attractions. It is very close to the theatre for Hamilton.The owner is very responsive even though we didn’t get a chance to meet him in person he answered our questions in a promptly. The property is very close to many restaurants and the supermarket.If you have time I would recommend you to leverage the kitchen more often than we did to save money and have a nutritious meals.
• Sue (7/5): Good -

• Diegoalvarado (9/5): Superb - location bathroom
• Cynthia (10/5): Excellent! - It was like living in our own house with complete facilities. The host even left food and did some groceries. Like family!!! The best! Thank you, Sir! The only missing thing was a hairdryer but that is insignificant!
• David (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent, host welcoming and generous breakfast supplies
• Chantal (10/5): Thanks so much for your hospitality! We loved our stay. - The property was spacious and very comfortable. The host was very accommodating and helpful, staying very late at night to meet us when we got lost and couldn’t find the property (so sorry). The breakfast in the fridge was good. The location is great, easy walking distance to Westminster and a short walk to local restaurants and St James station. The Speaker pub is across the road and it’s a good local!
• Clare (10/5): Fantastic and would definitely return. - Absolutely lovely host. Nothing was too much trouble. Good location, clean and warm and well stocked. The Bourbon biscuits went down a treat🤣 No complaints.

• Amberm007 (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous apartment, location and facilities
• Wesley (10/5): Comfy ground floor flat to explore the city. - Great location downtown that made it easy to walk to attractions in a short amount of time. Restaurants and Tesco were close by and convenient. Provided breakfast and snacks were a nice surprise. Great communication and flexibility for check-in time. Ran into a couple suspect people roaming the streets but you're only a couple blocks from the main streets.
• Charlie (7/5): Amazing place and would recommend once the owner fixes the bed situation - A nice selection of small bits for breakfast. The place was mostly clean. The beds were comfortable. The room was advertised as a 3 bed room and there were only 2 beds available. This left us sharing a bed which was fine except we paid and were under the assumption there would be 3 beds.
• Zsófia (9/5): Superb - The location is great, multiple metro and train lines are in walking distance. The breakfast in the fridge was enough for 4 people for two days. We traveled in December, so the festive decoration was also a cute touch. There is no living room, but one of the bedrooms is big enough to gather in (also there is an extra foldable table). One of the two bedrooms was a bit cold for us.
• Jeanette (10/5): Edwin was a very nice person, very helpful , communication was super, we had a fabulous time at the, - Excellent breakfast, more than enough, so pleased with it, There was nothing we disliked,
