Guest Reviews

• Emily (9/5): - The host Michael was really helpful and quick with replies. He also accommodated us checking in early which was ideal as we had to get changed for an event. The flat was clean, as was the bedding, and the mattresses were comfy. It's a small place, but has everything you need in a really handy location that's quiet for how central it is. The neighbour was also friendly when we were arriving and the small balcony area at the back was a lovely extra to have, especially with the hot weather. I'd definitely recommend this place and would stay there again.
• Elliot (10/5): Exactly as we expected in Borough neighbourhood - The location was excellent, and the lockbox was exactly where it was described. We arrived in London very early in the morning so Michael very kindly allowed us to drop off our bags before checkin. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook when we didn’t want to go out.
• claire (8/5): - L'emplacement plutôt central de Londres, bonnes explications de l'hôte, le calme + la propreté de l'appartement et les lits faits à notre arrivée. Appartement froid, pas de déco, juste la vaisselle pour un repas à 4 personnes. La table de cuisine peu accessible et juste avec 2 chaises ...
• Iker Salaberria Urkizu (4/5): - La ubicación es buena. El estado de partes del apartamento, así como la limpieza dejan bastante que desear. Tenéis algunas fotos de modo ilustrativo.

• Yasmeen (9/5): -
• Aday (10/5): Comodidad - El barrio es muy tranquilo y el alojamiento esta cerca del centro de londres, tienen calefacción que funciona a la perfección, y la comunicación con el personal 10/10…Todo muy bien cuidado.

• Maria (9/5): Situació ideal prop de Tower Bridge - La situació és fantàstica, i la relació qualitat preu és molt bona. És força gran i el llit molt còmode
• ENCINA (9/5): Piso confortable - Ubicación, una parada de metro a 5 min Calefacción el piso estaba caliente y se podía subir la calefacción, fuimos en diciembre y hacía mucho frío fuera. Tenía utensilios para cocinar, secador de pelo, 4 sillas, tendal Comunicación con el propietario, excelente 2 camas de matrimonio Piso que necesita reforma
• Laura (9/5): Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo passato dei giorni in vacanza. Michael è stato un ottimo padrone di casa! L’appartamento è - Gentilezza dell’host, posizione
• Teresa (10/5): Camas confortáveis, espaçoso com muita arrumação. A cozinha é um pouco estreita mas serve bem. - A amabilidade do anfitrião e rapidez nas respostas. Tudo o que dizia incluir estava na casa.
• Rosa Beatriz (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación! Con paradas para guagua muy cerca, y 15 minutos caminando de la estación de metro de Borought. Barrio tranquilo. Limpieza de 10. Fuimos en noviembre, y la calefacción funcionaba perfectamente. Todos los utensilios necesarios para cocinar. Sin duda, totalmente recomendable para pasar unos días en Londres. Michael, el dueño del piso, nos trató muy bien y estuvo atento en todo momento. Un placer. Solo podría señalar las almohadas, que eran algo incómodas, y el colchón del salón, que también era algo incómodo.
• Patri (8/5): -

• Mirosław (8/5): -
• Szilvia Kárai (8/5): Good value for money - Good location, clean and well equipped apartment. Easy to reach some attractions, very good location, near shops, and bus stop. The host is great. Few minor little issues.
• SOTIRCHOU (9/5): -
• ana belen (7/5): - Muy buena ubicación. Próximo al metro, supermercados, restaurantes... Zona muy tranquila y segura. El apartamento estaba muy limpio. Buena comunicación y facilidad de contacto con el alquilador. Mobiliario, decoración y utensilios básicos, aunque suficientes para una breve estancia. Sería necesario reformar el baño: es muy difícil lograr una temperatura adecuada del agua de la ducha y la cisterna del WC gotea.
• Mary (7/5): Good value for money. - Location: easy walking distance to Borough underground and Borough Market with buses a couple of minutes walk away. Property is very well equipped, clean and tidy. As previous reviews have mentioned, there is an issue with the shower mixer: the water is either very hot or cold with it being very difficult to find, or maintain, a more moderate temperature.
• Ioana (9/5): -
• Mylène (8/5): Un endroit bien situé, facile d’accès et propre que je recommanderais sans hésiter. - La localisation est vraiment intéressante : plusieurs attractions à distance de marche, épiceries et restaurants à proximité, quartier calme le soir et la nuit. L’appartement est propre et somme toute confortable. Il est petit mais pour dormir et déjeuner c’est parfait. Le contact avec le propriétaire est facile et agréable, les instructions pour le check in sont claires et l’appartement est facile à trouver une fois sur place. La douche est difficile à régler : l’eau passe de brûlante à glaciale en quelques secondes. C’est le seul enjeu majeur, le reste est superflus. Exemples : Le matelas du salon est un peu mou. On prendrait des draps dans les lits, davantage de serviettes/ linges à vaisselle. Une bonne machine à café serait un ajout fantastique.
• Juan (8/5): Very good - This is a very correct apartment suitable both for holidays and business trips. Very well-located and handy from London Bridge and Borough Stations. MIchael is a great host!
• Marie (5/5): Michael is a great host, he let me drop off my luggage before check in. - Michael was great and the location was perfect No curtains on the bedroom window and the main door didn’t lock very lock very well from indoors so I felt unsafe and didn’t have a good night sleep. The cleaner wasn’t friendly and she lacked customer service.
• Lolita (10/5): Exceptional - Location , spacious.
• Liudmila (8/5): Accomodation is offer a good value for money - Great communication with the host. Michael is very attentive and friendly. Good location, clean apartment. Few minor little issues .
• Marivic (8/5): Michael is a great host. He respond to our messages and questions quickly. The apartment is in good location near bus st - The apartment is very spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. Near bus stops at Borough station. What I do not like is the water temperature in the bathroom. It is very hard to adjust to the right temperature.
• Francesco (8/5): Comfortable and simple accommodation in London, close to most attractions. - The great advantage of this accommodation is the excellent quality/price ratio considering the very central location and convenient to all services and transport. It is obviously not a luxury/charming/design apartment, but it has everything you need to be able to stay a few days in the city, reaching all the most interesting attractions in a short time, by public transport or even on foot. Very easy access and great availability of the host Michael in staying in touch and checking that the stay goes well. The kitchen is well furnisehd with every needed equipment. some extra blankets and pillows would be useful for those who like to sleep with more of them, but I'm sure that if you ask for it Michael would provide asap
• Ana (8/5): Very good -
• Jeongyeon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marzena (7/5): Michael was very good host, thank u! - Lovely stay close to London Bridge, shops and tube.
• Kaya (9/5): Superb -
• Rados (9/5): Superb - The flat was just as described, conveniently located, spacious and well-equipped. Nothing in particular.
• Onur (5/5): Passable - Location is easy to reach and walkable distance from London Bridge. Street was also quite and we didn't feel unsafe. House has the minimum equipment you will need for cooking etc. Cleaning was way below the expectation, we found dirty spoon in bedroom drawers and overall cleaning doesnt satisfy at all. Maintenance of the house and door frames are a bit below expectation. I think house needs a bit care.
• Mahesh (8/5): Great location near Borough Market, Great host! - Property is located within 5-7 mins walk of Borough Tube Station, 2 mins from Blackhorse Court & Bartholomew St bus stops and about 10-12 mins walk from Borough Market and London Bridge. Very convenient to travel by bus and tube. Close to Southbank and a 20 mins walk to Tower Bridge/Shard. Easy access to Elephant & Castle area. Close to a cafe, Sainsbury Local, Tesco Express and within walking distance of 2 pubs, and restaurants. Next to Tabard St garden making for accessible walking area. Neighbourhood is a mix of students with Kings/LSE Hostels right across and other residential types. Clean facilities with adequate supplies. A starter kit of tea bags/coffee/sugar and other staples is thoughtful and make it easy for a traveler. Our host Michael was courteous and quick to respond Enjoyed our stay here!!
• Alessio (10/5): Perfect for couples, near underground - 5-10 mins on foot from Borough station. Might be a bit hard to find the entrance, so please follow the instructions you’ll receive. Very very big, perfect for 2, so you can have your own double bed! For sure better than most middle rank hotel rooms! Perfect host: professional, kind, and most important, quick to reply. Would stay here again for sure! We didn’t mind too much, but the shower might need some improvements.
• Bernadette (8/5): A pleasant short stay facility. - Location close to Borough Station. Well equipped kitchen with washing machine. Good wifi. Comfortable beds. Shower and bathroom layout. Lighting could be better and stronger. Outside light all night coming through window made sleeping difficult.
• Dolores (8/5): Good place to rent with small family or friends for a weekend out in London -
• Brooke (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zaenab (10/5): Love it - Clean and close to the airport Nothing to complain about
• Chang (10/5): Exceptional - the shower can be improve, it turn to cold water after a while.🥺
• Simon (7/5): Good -
• Debra (8/5): Location was fantastic, the apartment was clean and big enough for 3. Could use a few updates like shower fitted to wall - Location was superb literally 7/8 mins walk to London Bridge! The shower wasn’t fixed to the wall, had to sit in the bath and hold shower over to wash with very long hair wasn’t that great. Could use a TV too. Unable to sit on the balcony/patio due to scaffolding up all round.
• Griffiths (5/5): Horrific - Location great, easy walk to all No TV, very old & dilapidated, it was only for us to sleep there
• Muthu (4/5): Disappointing - The location and the fact it was a two bedroom apartment. The bed spreads and pillow were not clean. Towels were kept on first day and those were also not great. It should be clearly mentioned in the description. House overall is not great... Bathroom shower was not working properly.
• Traian (9/5): Superb - Michael is a great host and his appartment is in a very quiet and beautiful location.
• Elsamaria (9/5): Superb -
• Sharon (9/5): Superb - Highly recommend, good price quality! Perfect base for a city trip to London. 8 min walk to underground Borough and 13 min walk to underground London Bridge. Supermarkets Sainsbury's Local (23:00 closed) is 4 min walk and Lidl (closed 22:00) 12 min walk. Definitely a quiet neighborhood. House was fully equipped. Spacious enough for 4 people. Clean and everything was there. Toilet paper, cleaning products, towels, bath items. Even coffee, sugar, sunflower oil from previous guests. WiFi available. Easy instructions to check in. Will come back for sure! Read previous reviews. But would you expect a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget? Pay triple so you don't have to complain.Yes, the kettle had a layer of limescale. I cleaned it myself. Do you need a TV on holiday? Might as well stay home, right? Tip: Leave the shower on for 2 minutes before getting in, temperture easier to regulate.
• Mohammed (8/5): Very good -
• Danielen (10/5): Enjoyed how close it is to my workplace and very quiet - I had the whole flat to myself. Can accommodate 4 people. 15 min walk to London bridge station. Quiet area. Did not have any problems sleeping at night because neighbours are quiet. The host was responsive and he allowed me to check in earlier. There’s also some noodles that I used the first night I was there because I was so hungry. You can also cook, they have pots, pans,cutleries. They have salt, honey, tea and coffee. Highly recommended this place because of the location and how quiet it is at night. They also have some toiletries like shampoo. I also love the handwash that they have. The bath needs a bit of changing. But overall it was a great flat.
• Stephen (5/5): Functional at best. - OK ish price for London. Dodgy area and I wouldn't stay if you want anything other than a bed. No tv??
• Siyana (8/5): Great value for money - The location was perfect. Quiet neighbourhood, close to the tube and bus stations. Supermarket nearby. The heating system worked well. The beds were comfortable. It needs some renovation, especially in the bathroom because it is very difficult to set the right water temperature while showering.
• Matthew (9/5): Great location and very clean - Great location. Very clean. Easy access being on the ground floor. Surprisingly quiet given how close it is to the city. Could do with a TV.
• Chantal (9/5): Great location, comfortable stay! - Loved the location/area, easy walk to all amenities and transport. Place was roomy, comfortable for up to 4 people, nicely equipped, and communication was easy and rapid when needed:) greatly recommend. As a solo traveler, I wanted to use the deadbolt, but it would need to be repaired/replaced to make it easier to use. Place was very clean overall, little bit of mold/mildew in bathroom and kitchen, and small appliances need to be cleaned under, not just around. Loved the space and location, would book again. Thanks!
• Vaitheki (9/5): Superb -
• Garrabost (8/5): Lovely stay - thank you Michael. - Fantastic location and a wonderful host. Michael is really lovely and personable. We had a good chat - he came across as thoughtful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to family and friends. The shower curtain could be longer so that water does not spill out when showering. The temperature of the water itself was perfect.
• Adele (10/5): Exceptional owner and location. - Michael was most kind to me and very quick to answer my questions. It’s 5 mins walk away from Sainsbury, 7 mins from Tesco Express, 15 mins from Borough Market and 9 mins from Borough tube station. Excellent location. Especially for parents visiting their children at LSE or KCL’s dorm. Just right in front of this flat.
• Karen (6/5): We had a great stay in London with a welcoming host - Great communication from the landlord throughout the stay. Great location for Borough market, the tube and inner London. There were rolls of dust under some of the furniture so I had to hoover to give it a basic clean. The place could do with decorating to make it match the quality it looks on the photos I also want to let the landlord know that the toilet has a constant drip into the toilet pan which needs attention
• Otilia_ (8/5): Very good - Nice and clean apartment, has everything you need. You can easily walk to the Borough market, Tower Bridge, Garden sky, the Shard. It was perfect for a short visit to London It could use some renovations in the bathroom, but not really a problem.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Much bigger than I expected :) the beds were very comfy and there’s space to cook with cleaning materials , coffee sugar kettle microwave… really nice place Nothing
• Ayodele (8/5): My one day stay was very pleasant. - Very clean and mosquito free that enables comfortable sleep. Everything was well arranged and suitable to accommodate.
• Andrew (9/5): Perfect apartment for a short stay in London. Great location and incredible value for money. - Apartment was very cozy and super well located. For a few days stay in London it's absolutely perfect. It's down the road from the Borough tube station and has great access to supermarkets and restaurants, and a 15 minute walk from London Bridge/Tower Bridge area. We felt comfortable walking around at night coming home late. Host was wonderful and responsive. We had a small issue with the boiler but it was fixed in less than a day. I highly reccommend this place. Instructions of thermostat were a little complicated. Apartment could use some TLC, furniture is a little lacklustre but definitely not something to worry about. Depending on what side of the apartment block you come in from, it may look a little rough but honestly nothing to be worried about.

• Elisa (8/5): Very good - The location is easily accessible via Borough Underground or local busses, 10 min walk from London Bridge, the owner was really helpful and friendly.
• Marilyn (7/5): ideal for exploring the south of the river, lots of room to spread out and feel secure - spacious. very quiet. lots of thoughtful touches - milk, shampoo, teabags, hairdryer maps etc could have benefitted from a bed side lamp but it wasn’t a deal breaker
• Kayla (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was clean and suited our needs for a few days in London. Neighborhood was quiet. More towels would have been nice as well as more mugs for coffee/tea in the cupboards. There were 3 of us but only 2 mugs.
• Apoorv (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and spacious
