Location and quality are EVERYTHING. Read these reviews - every word is true. We had an amazing experience during our eight days at Natalia’s flat. Our son is studying in London and was housed one block over. Nat went above and beyond for us. Communication at booking, checking in/out and during our stay was effortless. She was super-responsive when anything popped up.
Nat thought of everything. The flat was spotless and well-equipped with every amenity plus more (leave your hair dryer and straight iron at home!). Don’t overpack, there’s a washer and dryer. If you’ve never been to London before, leave your heels at home. In addition, Nat personally checked us in and kindly stocked the fridge and left us a basket of goodies.
The location was perfect - close to two Tube stations yet central enough to walk to many sites, attractions and restaurants. Don’t be afraid to venture out! There is also a supermarket close by.
The bedroom had a ton of storage and the bed was big and comfy. You’ll find most flats advertised on Airbnb have just twin and double beds. Did I mention there’s an elevator so you don’t have to lug your suitcase up stairs?
The street entrance is gated and the entrance to the building required an electronic key fob. You’re in the hustle and bustle of Central London so bring some earplugs and a sleep mask if you’re a light sleeper. You may also need to open the windows if it’s hot since there’s no AC.
The wi-fi connection was great and we had the good fortune to have access to watch Netflix movies and cast videos from our phones. I had some trouble with my cell reception but my husband’s and daughter’s was just fine.
The decor was super-cute. The kitchen and bathroom were modern and up-to-date. The shower pressure was good and the water stayed plenty hot.
The flat is perfect for a couple plus one (adult daughter). Even Couch City was comfortable.
We visited off-season. While we experienced some rainy weather and a day-long Tube strike, everything was perfect!
