Fabi's flat in Fitzrovia is my new go to stay in London! Fitzrovia is a very trendy part of town without being in the very touristy center. You get a real, trendy local feel without being in the equivalent of Times Square! Close enough to the action to walk but far enough away to feel like you can relax and breathe! Very close to 3 major tube stations (Goodge, Tottenham Court. Oxford Circus) and a short walk away from Soho And, Covent Gardens. Convenient to shopping, Theatres and restaurants with many restaurants and bars to choose from.
Major recommendations are Josephine's Filipino restaurant and Mr. Fogg's nearby.
Fabi was a sensational host and quick and easy to contact and answered all of my questions and they went above and beyond to accommodate me.
The flat itself is spacious. good for a single, couple or a small group. Kitchen with supplies and a few complimentary refreshments was waiting for me and cleaning/laundry supplies provided if anyone needed to utilize the washer/dryer. The bedroom is very spacious and bed quite comfortable. And daybed in the living room also very comfortable.
The flat is close to markets for anyone wishing to utilize the kitchen for meals.
Espresso and a nespresso machine were provided.
Large marble bathroom and shower with large bathtub. Plenty of bathroom toiletries were provided as well as many clean linens.
Not much street noise (compared to other parts of the city or other larger cities) but like most of London garbage/recycling collection happens at 9am and can be noisy for anyone who is a light sleeper. But this is common in most of greater London. Not much night street noise at all.
Secure coded entry and beautiful rooftop deck really made the place feel posh. It is a walkup which may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues but very commonplace in the area.
I could not reccomend ths flat or Fabi as a host enough! I plan on booking with them again and soon!
This is the best way to see and stay in London. A hotel in a similar area would have cost about the same for a week with less space and comfort and less of a local feel. This is the flat and neighborhood to stay in!
