- Desi (1/5): - Not yet Bad service
- Abeygunasekara (10/5): I had a great stay at the property—the owner was friendly, the security deposit was returned smoothly, the location is c - I had a great stay at this property. Initially, there was some confusion regarding the security deposit, but it was handled smoothly and returned without any issues. The owner was very friendly and helpful throughout the process, which made the experience even better. The property is in a great location for visiting London, making travel very convenient. The price is also very fair for what is offered. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good service, and I would happily recommend it to others.
- Adalgiza marina (9/5): -
- Scott (9/5): -
- Else (9/5): Wonderful stay in London - The apartment is big and comfortable. The bathroom is renovated and luxurious. Greg is a very nice host who is very helpful. Transport is closeby and takes you to the city centre easily. Free parking in the area. There is a small shop just across the street and a Costa Coffee. We missed a coffee machine.
- Chloé (10/5): Beautiful accommodation - Beautiful accommodation with outside terrace. The host left out snacks and seasoning for us, which was a really thoughtful touch.
Would definitely stay here again! The only issue we fell upon was due to unforeseen travel delays, our arrival was later than anticipated, and the key collection point had closed earlier than expected. However, we contacted the host, and the matter was successfully resolved.
- Joanna (10/5): Great start in a lovely flat. - Flat was spotlessly clean and well appointed.
Perfect location for us.
- Abbie (10/5): I really enjoyed it, couldn’t have asked for better - I loved the layout of the apartment, it was very cozy, the facilities were great and I loved the balcony it’s decorated nicely I didn’t really explore the area to much but from what I could tell there wasn’t alot around to do however the station is very close and its not long into central
- Xinning (10/5): A perfect stay with a lovely host in a great location — highly recommended! - The apartment was very clean and beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed — even snacks and beers were thoughtfully provided! The host, Greg, was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The location was excellent: right by a bus stop, with a park, Costa Coffee, and a small grocery shop just across the street. Nothing — everything was great.
- Aine (10/5): -
- Janceal (7/5): Would highly recommend on staying here as the whole accommodation was clean and spacious. If you are struggling to walk - Very spacious and clean inside. Accessible to buses and trains going to Central. Shops like chinese, turkish restaurants and corner shops are a door step away. Very easy to communicate with the owner for any issues. A bit difficult to find parking as it is a residential parking. The air vent on the hob wasn’t working so had to open all the windows and made the room cold.
- Sophia (10/5): -
- William (10/5): Great value for money - Location, felt safe, good bus routes into Central London Nothing to not like
- Megan (10/5): Comfortable stay in great location. - Beautifully appointed, comfortable apartment. 2 bus routes into central London - bus stops within 100m or take bus and tube into the centre. Camper bed if party more than four was not comfortable - used the couch instead.
- rowena (10/5): Excellent family friendly short stay in lovely apartment ! - Clean property with everything needed! Nothing
- GeorgiaW (10/5): Great location, very comfortable, brilliant host. - This is very well located, about a 15 minute walk (with cases) or a 5 minute taxi ride from Golders Green tube station to the apartment. There is a very large bed that could even fit 3 people it was that big and very comfortable, then a smaller bed in another room (although still comfortable for 2x people) there were extra beds available (fold away bed etc) although this was not needed for our stay.
The complimentary touches were brilliant and much appreciated. The kitchen / living area was very comfortable and heating etc was easy to put on. We did not use the outdoor balcony due to the weather but it was very lovely and would have been nice to sit out in for a morning coffee if the weather was okay. There is a Costa across the road which was handy for breakfast.
Also, highly recommend the new Turkish place underneath the apartment (Chilli & Garlic) we sat in and ate here 2x during our stay as the food was beautiful. It was easy to collect the keys and drop back off when out stay was over.
Greg (the host) was very helpful and communicated very well before, during and after our stay. We would be happy to stay here again.
Our group was 4x women celebrating a friends 40th weekend in London and the apartment had everything we needed. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and helping us make out friends 40th very special. N/A

- Hannah (9/5): Well equipped apartment - Lovely apartment which i used as a base for work for the week.
The outside does not do the apartment justice. Greg was very helpful and available for all my queries including arranging the free parking straight away.
The kitchen is well equipped. I didn't appreciate the gym wasn't onsite but just a gym chain nearby.
- Kaja (7/5): - Balkon und Küche und mehrere Etagen
Kostenlose Snacks Wasser wurde nicht warm
Paar Macken
Bett zu kurz
Keine Gepäckaufbewahrung kostenlos

- Galanti (10/5): Tornerei alla prima occasione - Piacevole e confortevole, ben attrezzata e vicina ai mezzi pubblici
- Olatunbosun (10/5): Homely and comfortable - Location was good. nothing... I am fine with what I got
- shuang (9/5): -
- Roy (9/5): - The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen well equipped. Clean and clutter free apartment. The host was exceptional in friendliness and knowledge of the local area. The settee very low with no back support and little steps into kitchen and bathroom disorientating for someone with spinal /necck condition.
- Sarah (8/5): Really good flat, good location and easy for getting into central London - Very clean and tidy, everything we needed for a weekend away. Good location central to good transport links. Camp bed was a little uncomfortable
- rachel (10/5): Great find in a great area of London - The spacious rooms and very comfortable beds Nothing
- Sidney (9/5): Excellent place to explore London - Nice space for a family. Great beds and nicely equipped kitchen. Excellent assistance from the owner. Good bus connection. Nice park nearby. It can get a bit hot, when we were there it was over 27C outside, but supplied ventilators helped. Some travel is required to get to the city, but we didn't mind.
- Nicole (9/5): Helpful host - Greg was amazing and messaged with all the relevant information. Nothing was too much trouble. Picking the keys up was simple and easy.
The beds were amazing so super comfy. The apartment has a lovely feel mod cons option to sit outside and enjoy the evening or stay inside. We would absolutely come back again. Location was great for us and was really handy and local to what we needed. The master bedroom is stunning however I found it to be a little nosey from the outside noise.
That being said I’d still come back
- Christine (9/5): Lovely 2 night stay in comfortable apartment. - Lovely well equipped apartment which suited our needs perfectly in a pleasant, quiet area.
Check in arrangements and communications were clear and questions replied to promptly. There was nothing to find fault with.
- Ann (10/5): It was so relaxing I really enjoyed it especially the balcony - Everything it was a comfortable and clean place with beautiful ambiance Nothing
- The (8/5): Very good - Well equipped apartment, good location, well served by buses, and two fantastic restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk (both recommended by the host). Clear instructions for collecting the keys, and overall communication from the host before, during and immediately after the stay was brilliant. Oh. .and the apartment is directly opposite a Costa, which was a bonus for us! We hadn't appreciated that the swimming pools were at a different location but that's our fault for not reading it properly!
- Gavin (9/5): Clean and tidy - Property was clean and fresh. Well looked after. Greg was so helpful. Deposit was sent straight back with no fuss.
Thank you Nil
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Very well equipped surprising quiet great night sleep will use again. None.
- Felix (10/5): Exceptional - The host was great.. on the ball with any information that I needed! The property itself was class.. and it had everything we needed, even had complimentary refreshments which I thought was a nice touch! The locals in the shops and restaurants around us were really lovely.. helping us with prams and one even giving my little girls free food! Couldn’t have been happier with our stay! That I couldn’t stay longer

The rent is very reasonable for the quality and location, making it a great value. Overall, it deserves an excellent rating — highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to live.”
- Sara (9/5): Our stay was genuinely comfy. Location was fantastic. It was a lovely choice overall. - The apartment is stylish, spacious and well-equipped. A relaxing, homey base in a great area of London. The location is best features: surrounded by great restaurants, beautiful parks and gardens. It was easy to unwind or go exploring.
- Sandra (10/5): Fantastic ! I would definitely book this flat again if / when we return to London - The flat was well situated for us. Three bus stops away from the tube so easy access into town and perfect for us to visit friends who live a 15' minutes' drive away. Although situated on a bus route, it was quiet and had very useful amenities such as a grocery shop, restaurants, etc.
It was really well-equipped and extremely comfortable......a pleasure to return to after a tiring day in London !
What's more there were complementary snacks, beer and wine.
Comfortable beds and with regard to the bathroom, a fantastic shower which was big and easy to use.
Greg was a great, attentive host, always available to respond to any questions we had, as well as to give us good advice on
transport, restaurants and places to visit. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go to Hampstead Heath.
I have absolutely no hesitation in reccomending this flat. Perhaps just one thing....the slight differnce in levels between the living area and kitchen + the living area and landing.
It took getting used to.
- Zafar (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (9/5): Superb - Great location, fantastic host.
Not the best layout for small children, lots of steep and small steps.
- Angela (10/5): Friendly, welcoming - Lovely stay, clean, welcoming and well equipped.The photos shown on website seem very old, the flat needs a face lift and new furniture. I would not describe as opulence and luxurious. However good value for money in london.
- Delyth (10/5): Comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended - A fantastic 2 night stay during half term. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. Greg was very helpful and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend booking a stay.
- Caroline (10/5): Lovely flat, great location - We had a great time, the apartment was lovely. Just the right size for 4 and extremely well located. It's about a 15-20 min walk from the tube but only a few mins walk to the Heath. There is a convenience store right across the road and a lovely Indian restaurant only a minutes walk away. We found it to be the perfect place for our girls weekend in London. You need to watch out for the steps inside the kitchen and bathroom. Once you get used to it it's fine but they are a bit unexpected!
We used the put up bed, it was ok for a couple of nights but wouldn't want to have to use it for longer.
- Jennifer (10/5): Amaxing start to Finish highly recommended and we certainly will be back - Amazing apartment highly recommend Nothing to dislike
- Kate (9/5): Superb - The apartment was excellently equipped and extremely comfortable. The host, Greg, was extremely helpful and just a message away if anything was needed. Would highly recommend.

- Natalija (10/5): We enjoyed our time at the lovely property and getting to walk around London. - The communication with the host was exceptional. The large bed was very comfortable. My son loved the lion statues on the balcony. We all enjoyed the welcome basket. There was nothing to dislike.

Great communication from owner. A few things looking a little tired - particularly on the balcony (hole in decking, gaffa tape around bottom of windows)
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional - We had an amazing stay at the apartment in London! The location was perfect, close to all the public transportation, shop across the street and great italian restaurant. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and very well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What truly stood out was the owner's exceptional care and attention. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and were always available for any questions or concerns. It really made our stay feel special and stress-free. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in London.
- Helene (9/5): We had a great weekend in London. The tube is approx 15 mins walk. Local shops had everything we needed. - Its clean and well presented. The property was well kitted out. The outdoor area was great to sit outside.
- Sara (9/5): A definite excellent stay and will be back to stay again when visiting London. Highly recommended! - * Cleanliness and modern amenities (even has an electric close/open bin).
* Two of the most comfortable beds we ever slept in.
* Good water pressure with proper water temperature control.
* Complimentary nibbles and drinks (a treat to my parents who visited the UK first time) . This is a very thoughtful touch.
* Lots of toilet rolls and kitchen towels (and yes this really matters).
* Balcony you can lounge in and relax.
* A restaurant below the property (and more in close proximity) Costa cafe in front , and a off-licence /grocery store.
* Easier access to public transport.
* Most of all, a kind and attentive host. The carpeting along the communal corridor outside the property smells a bit off but this never affected the overall comfort and cleanliness inside the property.
- Mohammad (9/5): Great place, clean and as described. - It was very clean and as described.
Good places to eat nearby too.
Good communication with property owner who was always very helpful when needed. Nothing much really, only wished there was an extra toilet.
It was quite a walk to the tube station, approx 20 minutes walk.
- Raza (9/5): I will definitely consider staying here again - Very responsive host. Nicely furnished. My family was very comfortable. Ac
- Cagatay (9/5): Nice stay at this lovely place - Very nice stay at this lovely apartment. The apartment is great for groups with separate bedrooms and a comfortable common area. It is in a nice area close to Hampstead Heath and a short walk from the tube. The host, Greg, is super attentive and responds to queries very quickly and helped with all our questions on the deposit and parking. Nothing to note
- Alexander (8/5): Overall good value, £35 Uber ride to Buckingham Palace and £65 Uber ride back in the evening. - The location had a grocery store across the street, one down the street and several restaurants within walking distance. Listing stated sofabed, however it was an air mattress we had to inflate and deflate each day. Also, strong scent of cigarette smoke due to people smoking downstairs at the cafe.
- Glenn (7/5): Good -
- Barbara (10/5): Super cosy comfy apartment - The apartment is well equipped, stylish, cosy and extremely clean in a quiet area. Easy access to central London. The host was really kind, answered all my questions promptly. Costa cafe, convenience store just on the other side of the road. Really comfy beds are a big bonus. Highly recommend to everybody who wants to relax after a long day in London. I loved everything
- Jayne (9/5): Would recommend as a great base with good transport links. - Lovely clean apartment, nicely decorated. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Greg, the host, was really helpful and efficient in his communications with us. The shared hallway was a little dull and smelt of cigarette smoke, but this didn't impact on our stay in any way.
- Nathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ronald (10/5): Great place to stay - When we got to opulence apartment was just what we wanted very nice and spacious and very clean and a great host nothing to much trouble wanted to make sure you enjoyed your stay Nothing not to like
- Claire (8/5): Very good - The apartment is beautifully decorated, beds comfortable, shower fantastic. There were some lovely little extras like wine, beer and cola in the fridge, shower gels and shampoos and we didn't have to think about towels and extra loo roll. All were provided. The host was responsive.
- Moitree (9/5): Superb -
- Helene (7/5): Good -
- Sim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brenda (8/5): Had a nice visit to London - Clean apartment. Safe area. Several restaurants close by. First floor living area was very comfortable Didnt like carrying suitcases up flights of stairs but mainly didnt like only one bathroom when there was no other toilet available. This was a problem for us. Had to live out of the suitcase because there was no drawers to unpack.
- Tilly (10/5): Easy, affordable, brilliant location and stress free - The quality of the apartment and the hassle free booking and collection of keys Nothing
- Christine (10/5): Fabulous apartment. - Fabulous apartment on a quiet street in Hampstead.
Greg the host communicated with us throughout, and there is nothing he has not considered for a really comfortable stay.
The apartment is really spacious and clean, with a well-stocked kitchen with everything you need, plus some really thoughtful extras.
The beds are really comfortable, to the point that my husband needed to strip it to see the make for our next purchase!
Although in London, the street was quiet at night and we slept really well.
Lovely spacious shower with great water pressure!
It's a short walk along Hampstead Heath to the beautiful High Street with super shops and coffee shops, which is how we spent our day before heading to the West End to see a show. Less that £20 in an uber from the apartment, so have no idea how far the tube station was.
Some lovely little restaurants within a few feet of the apartment, and an incredibly well stocked grocery store and a Costa across the road, which meant breakfast was sorted!
All in all a gem of a find, and we will definitely return. Thank you Greg! Really nothing that could be improved upon in my opinion.
- Meritxell (9/5): Superb - Great location, great value for money and easy to contact host It was all as stated and we had no issues.
- Zita (10/5): Good connection to the center city, it is the grill bar next to the door, it was very tasty food there, also there is sh - Good location, all needed were inside apartment, for group of 5 person it very suirable
- Omer (9/5): Ideal stay for families - Perfect stay if you are a family or group visiting London.
Very Spacious and clean apartment, good location.
It’s on the Main Street plus free parking is huge plus.
Gregory is exceptional host, always available to respond to queries, maintains good communication line. We dint find any thing particular that we disliked.
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Schweitzer (9/5): Superb -
- Mansour (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location, 2 double rooms few are in London with this price. Initially the deposit, then this was sorted out with the flat owner
- Alina (10/5): Looking forward to come again! - Large and very clean apartment, very confortable beds, living room and kitchen on the first floor and bedrooms on the second floor which is great for a family, extremely quiet, bus stop right in front of the property, with direct connections to the main objectives and to the airport, we were allowed for late check out with not problems at all, great communication with the owner. Everything you need in the kitchen, including complimentary wine, beer and a few treats! nothing to add in here
- Anonymous (10/5): Thank you. Had a good time in London. Back to my Village. - Picture perfect, easy access. Host is Magnificent. Close to Amenities.I’ll recommend every day. The stairs makes noise. The heating wasn’t the best. Apart from that it’s the best.
- Erica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Becki (9/5): Lovely apartment - Great sized apartment with small balcony and two bedrooms. There was also a large airbed for the living room. Kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was a good size. Host was very responsive and helpful. Location is pretty quiet considering it is in London! Really recommend. Only very minor things, bed sheets for air bed were too small, no blackout curtains in the living room, small steps going into each room downstairs and into the kitchen area kept taking us by surprise
- Holly (8/5): Very good -
- Jasminka (7/5): Mixed Feeling - Mixed feeling... It seems that our arrival was very well planned and good communication and exchanges went smoothly. Unfortunately, despite the sympatic exchanges things did not go as smooth as they could have. Location was a bit tricky, which is not on the responsibility of the host, but it took us a minimum of 1h to get to and from the city centre. Event late at night by cab it is around 30 mins.
The apartment itself is nice, just the steps in the kitchen and the bathroom have to be watched for!
Great food options right around the apartment of you don’t feel like cooking! 😊 Arrival: We had exchanged mid-august that we would arrive before the check in time and asked if it was feasible to get the keys a bit earlier and drop the luggage because we were going to see a musical that evening and wanted to make the most during our stay and therefore not come back before late that evening. Our host accepted to have us passing by at our arrival around noon to drop the luggage and pick up the keys, knowing that the apartment would not be ready, but at that point we didn't need it. When we left the train station I contacted our host, we arrived, the person was late, we decided to wait, then another person opened the apartment but we still had to wait for the cleaning person to get the key, then we found out there was a key in the apartment, but still had to wait, then not. It was a bit messy and unclear. I guess it could have been better communicated and organised.
Bed situation: We were 5 people, 3 adults and 2 kids and the booking was done accordingly. We got to the apartment at 23.30 and got the unpleasant surprise that the 5th bed that was supposed to be a sofa bed in the living room, was not ready. We started looking for sheets, blankets and pillow, but all we could find was some stuff in the bottom of one of the cupboard. The sheets looked like they had just been folded by the previous people that stayed in the apartment, they were not properly folded, we could not say if they were clean or not. When we raised that point the next day, the reply was a bit unpleasant, we were provided a code to a box that had clean bed sheets and explained that there was an air mattress to inflate when needed.
Bathroom:The shower get was running low, it’s only late on the Saturday evening that we got another one. The bathroom could not hold 5 towels, we had to dispatch them in the rooms.
Rooms: The one on the side of the street are quite noisy
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Philip (7/5): The apartment was in a good location for all forms of transport links e.g. bus, tube and taxis. - The communication with the owner from booking to leaving was very good. The apartment was a good size for four adults and the facilities e.g cooking, showering comfort was very good.
- Lewis (10/5): Really good, the host has excellent taste and great at communicating. We really enjoyed our weekend ! - Was very clean and looked beautiful particularly the bedrooms and kitchen. Wasn’t anything I didn’t like
- Eric (7/5): Nice flat... but only 3 beds - Very clean
Well equipped
Comfortable
Bus close from location Not 2 different sofas as described in Booking (1 in living room 1 and 1 in living room 2) but one large sofa in the living room on which an adult and a child can sleep easily. In total it's more 3 double beds than 4 beds.
