Guest Reviews

• Maryanne (10/5): Top floor Pimlico apartment with Balcony in London - too wonderful! - We loved this apartment and its location. Highlights for us were: Cleanliness, comfortable and warm, spacious and light, outdoor balcony and location. The decor is homely and there was great ventilation. Fast wifi and excellent communication. We love self check-in, yet appreciated the personal touches in all correspondence with real people.

• Julia (1/5): - Приехала по подтверждённому бронированию, следовала инструкции — код от локербокса не подошёл. Четыре часа ночью простояла на улице. Обращалась в поддержку через чат, СМС и телефон — никакой реальной помощи, ответы раз в 30 минут и советы «позвоните хозяину». В итоге в 5 утра пришлось самостоятельно искать и оплачивать другой отель. С меня также взяли страховой депозит 250 фунтов с обещанием вернуть. Деньги за бронирование и депозит обещали вернуть — пока жду.

• Angharad (10/5): Lovely homely stay - It felt homely. Lovely kitchen, comfort bed.
• Yannick (10/5): - Propreté, commodités, balcon Malheureusement l’établissement ne disposait pas d’une machine à café (une cafetière moka mais il faut encore savoir s’en servir ) pour le reste tout était parfait
• Haoyan (4/5): Definitely not recommended - Location is acceptable. The email replies were relatively prompt. 1. Three days after check-out, the property unauthorizedly recharged the security deposit from my bank account. It was only after multiple emails and involving the Booking.com platform that the deposit was finally released—five days after the wrongful charge. Throughout the entire communication, the property never once apologized for their mistake. 2. The staircase leading to the apartment is steep and narrow, making it difficult to carry luggage up and down. 3. Although the bathroom appears to have been renovated, the carpet is extremely dirty with stains everywhere, and the chairs are also covered in marks. The overall cleanliness is very poor. 4. The facilities are old, the curtains are difficult to pull, and the heating system doesn’t work—even after turning on the round thermostat on the table, the heater remained completely cold.
• Jose Pedro (9/5): Mini vacations - Location, East check in process Bed not very comfortable and hit our back
• Jordi (9/5): Una estada increïble per gaudir del Nadal - Come, agradable, cèntric, tranquil.
• Nives (9/5): Bell'appartamento, ma check-in complicato! - Pulizia, spaziosità e posizione dell'appartamento La procedura di check-in complicata, molto difficile se non si capisce bene l'inglese e non si pratici di smartphone, email, link ecc visto che arrivano moduli in inglese da compilare e firmare online e un video in inglese per trovare la cassetta delle chiavi che nel nostro caso era nascosta sotto una siepe nella strada adiacente! Forse almeno il check-in più semplice se venisse qualcuno.

• Colclough (9/5): A very comfortable stay in a truly charming flat!! - This is definitely a charming flat. It’s very bright and airy. Also because it’s at the top of the building it’s very quiet. Don’t think I disliked anything. Only small issue would be lack of storage in the cupboards and wardrobe. They were full of bedding, duvets etc so very little room for anything else.
• Pavel (8/5): - Good location, cosy place, nice terrace. Last floor, narrow staircase, would not recommend for elderly people.
• Владислав (8/5): I'm about 60 years old. It was too difficult for me to reach the last floor by stairs... -
• Johanna (9/5): - A nice and comfortable apartment. Balcony with views towards Battersea power station. Quiet location, still only a 10 minute walk from Victoria station. Easy getting in touch with host, and flexible check in and out (if possible, of course). Good wifi and TV. The stairs....but we knew that in advance. Not a lot of kitchen utensils, but you don´t spend a lot of time in the accomodation when you are in London anyway. A microwave would have been good, though. It´s an old building, so a bit draughty and some creaky floorboards. Not a big issue, but good to know.

• Sofia (9/5): Consiglio!! A me è piaciuto molto - Appartamento molto accogliente, super comodo per la sua posizione vicino a Victoria station, ma in generale anche a piedi si riesce ad arrivare molto bene in tanti punti importanti (big ben a 20 minuti, stessa cosa per Buckingham palace… per fare degli esempi). L’appartamento in sé per sé molto bellino, il terrazzo carinissimo se non fosse per la pioggia che ti impedisce di godertelo anche per una colazione. Casa spaziosa, dotata di molti confort, cucina attrezzatissima. La consiglio vivamente a chi vuole passare una bella vacanza a Londra avendo come punto base un appartamento comodo, bellino e vicino. Mi dispiace molto dover scrivere anche punti negativi ma ahimè ci sono. La cosa più negativa sono assolutamente le scale, molto piccole, strette. Per andare su con le valigie bisogna essere moooolto allenati, o si rischia di farsi male. La moquette dentro l’appartamento non era molto pulita, capisco che sia un materiale difficile da gestire, però era visibilmente sporca ecco. Anche la ventola del bagno era sporca, si vedeva tutta la sporcizia accumulata e mai pulita. In generale quindi il punto più critico sono le scale, non ve li consiglio se avete bambini (sopratutto se avete passeggini o carrozzine sarebbe impossibile da raggiungere) o anche persone anziane o con difficoltà motorie.
• REGINE (9/5): - L'emplacement est super. Nous étions à proximité de nos centres d'intérêts. Rien.
• diane (8/5): Cosy property with great balcony - Great balcony with views towards Battersea we used to sit out morning and night. Is located 15 mins walk from a large Sainsbury’s supermarket and close to Pimlico with several shops and bars. The property was large enough for 3 people, comfortable double bed and bathroom had lots of storage. Nothing. There are narrow and steep carpeted stairs to climb if mobility is an issue but fine if you are able bodied and worth it for the views
• Eva (8/5): - El apartamento está bien mantenido y cuidado. Todo limpio y nada roto o estropeado, como suele pasar en otros apartamentos. Me han facilitado todo lo necesario, como una cafetera que no figuraba entre los enseres. Aunque el trato es solo por WhatsApp, han contestado rápido y de manera amable. Hay que señalar que el apartamento está en un piso alto, sin ascensor y la escalera es muy empinada.No apto para personas con problemas de movilidad o de salud.

• Chelsea (8/5): Fantastic location with all the ammenities you need in the kitchen. Ideal for 2 people not 3. - The property was in a fantastic location, close to any stop and attraction in the centre of London. The location was also very beautiful on the posh suburb of Pimlico. Marks and Spencer was about a 13 minute walk. It was the middle of summer in the middle of a heatwave so the apartment was very hot. Air con would be fantastic in this apartment since it is all carpet and only a fan in the living room. We also had a 3rd person so we needed the sofa bed. Unfortunately the sofa bed was only the couch that part extended to make it bigger so there was no padding or pull out bed-just a sheet provided to put underneath you and was quite uncomfortable to sleep on.
• Reda (9/5): -
• Graham (7/5): -
• Mulholland (8/5): Very good -
• Anthony (8/5): Very good -
• Bronwyn (10/5): Exceptional - Location was good
• James (9/5): I loved this place, didn't overflow with amenities, but more than adequate for my tastes. - The location was great with good access to the subway, shops and supermarkets, neat restaurants and bars., and churches if you are so inclined. I liked the location, the proximity to transport, the parks and walking around the area. There was nothing I didn't like. The place was lovely, the balcony was a joy on the nice afternoons and it felt safe and secure. I felt the fan was noisy in the bathroom, but that was a pretty minor matter. It was small, but that suited my tastes also.
• M (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rhonda (9/5): Enjoyed the area. Goff restaurants close by. Easy access to Victoria station. - Loved the balcony. Lots of steps no lift to help with baggage.
• Hamza (8/5): Very good - Overall, the amenities were excellent, including heating, transportation access, cleanliness, kitchen utensils, towels, bed linens, and more. Despite visiting London during a colder period, the heating worked perfectly, ensuring a comfortable stay. The location was very central, just a short walk to Victoria Bus and Train Stations, making it incredibly convenient. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, adding to the overall comfort. Wi-Fi and TV facilities were sufficient for our needs, and the cleanliness throughout was impeccable, including the kitchen utensils. However, carrying large suitcases to the top floor via stairs turned out to be quite a challenge, and the absence of paper towels or cleaning cloths was a minor inconvenience—possibly an oversight. Despite these small drawbacks, our stay was peaceful, with no major issues. The host was highly responsive, addressing any questions or concerns promptly. I would definitely recommend this place to others! The cleanliness was excellent overall, but it would have been even better if paper towels or cleaning cloths had been provided. Perhaps it was an oversight, but it’s a small detail that could enhance the experience
• Kate (5/5): exspensive for what it was - It was nicely arranged , but when we got there , there was no linen for the pull out couch , that I had requested on my booking . when we found a mattress protector / durvee in the wardrobe , there was a large (size of a dinner plate ) old blood stain ! when I emailed the company overseeing the property , nothing was done . also the washing machine was broken , it still had clothes in it &doorcouldnt open . the first night , other residents came home e very late & it was noisy. see above
• Lucas (7/5): Nice stay for a few days - Really nice apartment property equipped. Location was great, 10 minutes away of the Victoria train station and underground. There’s a lot of things around, like pubs, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets. The sofa bed was really uncomfortable, I can’t advise it as suitable for everybody. So although the apartment fits 4 people, 2 might not be as comfortable as the ones using the beds. The balcony door was unlocked when we arrived, and we weren’t able to figure how to close it. We contacted their support (host is a private company) and they explained, but that took about two hours until resolved. The trick was to put the doorknob in upright position (first time ever I get something like this). Although their support helped me, they lack to understand the issue, even with a provided video showing that the door couldn’t be locked. They should add some instructions as the way to lock it is a bit unusual.
• Peter (8/5): Very good - Location Stripped bed before we left - big mistake - pillow and mattress protectors very grubby and huge stain on one of the duvets - needs urgent attention
• Viorel (7/5): Nice traditional London flat of the 50’s in the heart of the city - It’s a good place to stay for those who want to have day trips outside of London.. Victoria Coach Station is located near by -5 min walk
• Nora (9/5): Great accomodation - They were very kind with us and they had some flexibility with check in and check out times. The apartment was clean and cosy. Exactly as It is in the pictures. The location is quite convenient if you flight to and/or from Gatwick airport since the apartament is at 10 min walking distance from Victoria station.
• Misty (7/5): Good - The location was good. Fairly quiet and safe feeling neighbourhood. The balcony was nice and looked out onto a pleasant view. Easy access to public transportation. Comfortable pillows. Kitchen fairly well stocked. The facilities were okay but a bit shabby. The carpets were gruby, there was mold in shower grouting, and it did not look like it had been cleaned behind nightables, furniture, etc. Company sent constant messages about all the things we had to do (be out by 10, turn down heat, take out garbage...), but did little to make us feel welcome. When asked to supply extra toilet paper, we were told we only got 2 rolls to start and were responsible for for supplying the rest on our own. For 8 days and 3 people, that was not reasonable. Only 1 tea towel provided with no extra kitchen linens.
• Nahuel (10/5): Exceptional - The amazing location and the beautiful terrace
• Dorianne (10/5): Lovely cosy stay - Really a charming, cosy flat that is well equipped for a comfortable stay. Great location, quiet neighbourhood with nearby eateries and a short walk to Victoria station. Helpful and friendly staff who met us on arrival. The doors and windows were a bit a struggle to open and close.
• Margaret (8/5): we enjoyed the space and it was very comfortable . - location is great!! very clean and quiet the stairs are a challenge.. especially with luggage ..it would be better with a hand rail . also paper towels in kitchen and a coffee maker should be included .is it common to not have an outlet in the bathroom ?
• Luis (3/5): Poor - The location The apartment and furniture needs at least a facelift. Enoying not working keys
• Nadwa (8/5): Lovely area, comfortable apartment, no elevator! - The check in was great. Octavian was super helpful and friendly. The flat is spacious and fits 3 people well. 10 minute walk from the Victoria station and it’s located in a very safe and cosy area. No cleaning service, I think you can get one upon request. The check out is super early at 10am and they aren’t flexible with giving a late check out. There is roughly 2-3 flights of stairs that aren’t really that bad but something to keep in mind.
• Elin (9/5): Superb -
• Kellie (10/5): Exceptional -
