The most fantastic location in London! The apt. has everything you need for a London base. The bedroom is quiet but the living space is quite loud, as it looks out onto Greek St in the heart of Soho. As other reviewers have said, the living area would not be suitable for a light sleeper. I would have no hesitation in staying here again! Thanks Lucy and Tizzy!
February 2012I was traveling from Germany to London and was looking for a place that is very central. I found one with this place. The place is a small flat in the heart of SoHo. All the good restaurants, bars and theaters are in a 5 min walking distance. The apartment is small but offered all I wanted to have. Tizzy showed me around in the neighborhood after I arrived wich made a nice welcome.
Tizzy and Lucy were excellent hosts! The Flat was perfect for us. It was exactly what we were looking for. It is super close to everything and was great for walking. We were prepared for the noise and it was not a real issue. I would definitely recommend the apartment!
excellent location and value for money. great that there was a washing machine there. the noise from the neighbouring businesses was not a problem. on the negative, i found it difficult to even make a cup of tea because the kettle had not been cleaned for some time and needed to be replaced. i also couldnt get the portable stove to work, and the ´microwave´ function on one of the convection ovens didnt work either. The apartment was very small and i must admit i felt a little cramped,... More »
I echo most of the comments. Great location, super organized host. great value for money.
Fantastic little place. Amazing location, close to restaurants, shops and places of interest. The hosts were delightful. Extremely helpful, friendly and very warm and welcoming. Thank you for a fantastic stay, we will be back!
Great apartment in a *great* location, and thus a terrific value. Clean, cozy, had nice bathroom, kitchen, TV, comfy futon. Host was kind enough to provide Internet access for us via cellular modem even though it's not in the location (much appreciated). Has washer not dryer, so plan ahead if you're doing laundry. Also make sure you coordinate with the host for how to meet to get keys - "I will meet you there" is not the same as "call me when you arrive and I'll then come and meet you".
Really, really great location. Absolutely perfect for my needs. It can get a little noisy outside but this is Greek street. You have to accept it. The apartment is very clean and well equipped
We had a great stay at Lucy & Tizzy apartment! Both waited for us on our arrival date as our flight from Billund was late in the night. We really appreciate them for staying up late despite having to work the next day. Tizzy arranged a internet dongle for us as we needed to access internet for an interview the next day:)) Tizzy is very friendly & even allow us to check out late on our very last day. The place looks exactly as in the pictures; there were clean towels, fully equipped kitchen... More »
Basic nice centrally located flat in a nice house with a small cafe downstairs. The host is caring and our communication was smooth. It is very loud on the Friday night - but we were expecting it to be so, and were so tied that music untill 6 am did not bother us )
The apartment was in a great location within walking distance to most attractions in London. Tizzy was a warm and friendly host that was on hand for any of our needs. Probably best for a younger couple that doesn't mind the noise of the local nightlife. Although busy, this suited my partner and I as we we enjoyed the atmosphere. Great place to stay.
Appartement très bien situé et plutôt bien aménagé. il est vrai que c'est assez bruyant car le quartier est plein de bars et boites de nuits. Le séjour se révèle donc plus être une pièce à vivre mais pour y dormir c'est assez dur. En revanche coté chambre, s'il y a un peu de bruit cela reste supportable et finalement l'appartement est un bon compromis pour être dans le centre animé de Soho sans être hors de prix. Il y a un supermarché Tesco juste à coté pour faire des courses. Le wifi est... More »
This apartment is small but could not be better located for the price. Yes, it is noisy, but it was nothing that earplugs didn't fix. We really enjoyed our stay and would rent this place again but, there were two issues that we found. The first is that the wireless internet did not work. We were given a log in and pass code but even though the computer picked up the network, we were never able to get a sign in page. This was pretty annoying but, we were able to use the wireless at the cafe on... More »
We spent 4 nigths at Lucy and Tizzy's apartment and it was great. The location was perfect because it was near the subway and in the same time if you want to go for a walk you have lots of places to go. Tizzy has been always avaible for helping us and she told us lots of places to go!
Myself and a friend spent 6 nights at Lucy and Tizzy's apartment and found it perfect for what we wanted. Close to major attractions,buses, metro system and easy access to Heathrow airport, Greek St is full of life and activity which is what we loved, so that needs to be considered if your looking for peace and quiet, which we weren't. Tizzy made herself very avaliable to assist in anyway she could and it was much appreciated. Would not hesitate in staying again. Thanks
The location of this apartment is as good as it gets, plop right in the middle of Soho. Nearby is the Theatre District, Chinatown, Oxford Street. We could walk to most of the major sights. The apartment is small, but good enough for a couple. The walls are a little thin. We could hear the neighbor upstair's fighting with his girlfriend in the middle of the night. A minor annoyance, but definitely made the experience interesting. If your stay during a Saturday, it might be hard to... More »
Lucy and Tizzy were excellent to communicate with and very flexible with checkin and checkout times. The location is very central. We enjoyed our short stay in Lucy and Tizzy's apartment. Tizzy met with us when we first arrived and was very helpful with giving us tips and suggestions on what to see and do during our stay. We had the apartment during the weekend, and it was quite loud outside. This was ok with us as we are used to noise, however it may not be ideal for those who... More »
We've had a wonderful time at Lucy's apartment. It had everything one needs for a fabulous stay. Situated at the heart of soho everything was a few mins walk and you really get a feel of the city. Lucy met us when we arrived and was extremely nice and welcoming. Living right where the action is can get a bit noisy at night, but surprisingly with the windows closed it doesn't really bother you. We would recommend this flat to anyone and definitely thinking of coming back!
We stayed 10 days with my friends from USA and Turkey , at Lucy and Tizzy location at lively busy SOHO . Tizzy was very nice to greet us during our check in , and some reason our driver had hard time to locate the place however it is basically next to the SOHO SQUARE PARK very easy to walk . Minutes away fro Leicester Square metro( tube) , as for the location anyone wants to party and constant fun perfect place to stay , and you have to remember this is a very busy and loud street, and you...

Thank you Lucy. Your place has everything we needed. The location was wonderful, everything was within walkable distances or just one or two tube stops away. Nice coffee shop, Milk, just down the street to start the day.
Small but well equipped apartment, very central and close to everything I needed. A bit noisy but not surprising given the location and was able to sleep fine with earplugs. Was brilliant to be able to do some washing and ironing. Tizzy and Lucy were lovely and took me out for a coffee and drinks. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Great location but no internet connection as advertised. we could not get tv working which is one of our English pleasures Noise from people coming home from area but location more than makes up for this... Bring ear plugs. Dining table tacky
We woke poor Tizzy up early on a Saturday morning when we arrived in London and yet, she received us graciously, with a warm smile and handed over the keys to this lovely flat on Greek Street. It was equipped with everything we needed including a washing machine which came in quite handy. As other guests have stated, Greek Street is a popular, happening location so you do have to contend with some street noise, but closing both interior doors inside the flat provides a perfect buffer. ...

Great apartment in a fun and cool neighborhood in Soho. It was a bit loud from the bars all along the street but that just means you have to stay out with everyone! Lucy was a great host and very accommodating.
El apartamento es pequeño pero cómodo. Decoración moderna. Es muy céntrico, en pleno Soho, a un paso de todo. Tienes sitios donde salir, comer, desayunar o comprar recuerdos. Se hace cómodo el transporte a otras zonas de la ciudad, cerca de metro y autobuses. Como único punto negativo, la televisión no funcionaba correctamente y la puerta del baño no cierra. Y las escaleras para subir muy estrechas. Pero en conclusión volvería a alojarme allí. Lo recomiendo para gente joven. Y Londres es... More »
Lucy and Tizzy are lovely, the flat is great, close to everything and everyone.
This cozy apartment is in an excellent location! Lucy made sure that we had everything we needed including lots of information and directions. It was perfect for two people, but may be a little crowded for more. Hopefully the wireless internet will be readily available soon (wasn't for our iPad). Noise wasn't a problem for us during the middle of the week stay. Thank you Lucy!
Great area and wonderful opportunity to be immersed right in Soho. The apartment was very clean and the hosts very nice. Being able to have breakfast in the apartment was a great money saver. The pub downstairs was a great place to unwind with a drink although we did not have the opportunity to eat there. Would definitely stay there again if we have the opportunity!
Other than the tiny steps leading up to the apartment, everything was great. Tizzy answered most of our queries promptly. Would love to come back there again. :) Apartment was in the centre of town. Loved it!!
I was in London with a friend for shopping, sightseeing and Pride. I have to say that Lucy and Tizzy's place was absolutely perfect for that! It felt smaller than the pictures, but still, the location could not be better if you want to get close to Soho for the parties, Leicester Square for theathres, Chinatown for the food or Oxford Street for shopping. I am definitely coming back.
We had an amazing time at this apartment! We stayed there for 5 nights (around London-pride weekend in July) with 3 friends. The apartment is modern, convenient and clean (it was cleaned upon our arrival). The apartment was big enough for 3 people. The greatest thing about the apartment is that it's right in the middle of Soho! Close to countless nice bars, restaurants and all the major London attractions! It actually felt like we were part of the 'locals' for those days :) The only... More »
Awesome 1 bedroom in perfect location right by Soho Square. love love love the windows in the front overlooking the street, and a bonus window in the bedroom is great for natural light. Great neighborhood, loved it. Yes it is above a pub, but it didnt bother me at all as others have mentioned. I mean, its Greek Street in London ppl! What more do you need? :) I love the atmosphere. Tizzy is a perfect host, very gracious and accomodating, can't wait to stay there again.
The apartment is in a very central location. Not even a 1 minute walk to the underground. A bazillion restaurants, bars, theaters all on the same street as the apartment. This was fantastic for us as we are young and stayed up pretty late anyways, but if you were trying to get to sleep at 10pm every night this probably isn't the place for you as it's a bit loud with all the street traffic. Fantastic stay!
We were some days in London. The studio apartment is clean and nice. The situation is absolutely perfect!
The flat was exactly what we expected based on the pictures and descriptions. Very clean and well kept, fresh linens and towels. Location is great right in the lively part of soho, good night life closeby. We would stay in Lucy's flat again.
My daughter, my niece and I have spent one week in London staying at Lucy and Tizzy's flat. Lucy was not availale but Tizzy was there if we needed to talk to her. We were very happy about the place and should we come back to London we definitely will like to stay there again.
The location is just the best, right in the center of everything and on top of really good wraps and sandwich places where you can get the most delish stuff for under 3 pounds and a mini mart right across the road. We were out every night and didn't have to take a taxi to come back at all which was a delight. We met Tizzy who was very friendly and gave us a quick rundown of the place. We will definitely stay here or their other place at Greek St the next time we are in London. One thing -... More »
Great location, and a great host! We met up with Tizzy who was very accommodating, and gave us a quick introduction to the city-- she even directed us to the correct discount ticket booth when we expressed interest in seeing a West End play, and gave us a internet stick when we discovered there wasn't wifi (shucks, but you can also steal from the restaurant across the street, shh). It's walking distance to just about everything you would want to see in the city, especially the theatres and... More »
In general, our experience is good. It is very small apartment, but it has everything you need. The location is just great: it is walking distance to everything, just few minutes from Trafalgar Square. The downside: it is very noisy street, especially on weekends.
A very bright apartment right in the center of everything. Close to the museums, metro, shops, restaurants, theatres. It's indeed a bit noisy at night, especially at the weekend, but this has nothing to do with the pub downstairs. Closing time 11pm. It's mostly from the people who are going home at night after they went to a club where are a few off in the street. So earplugs are a recommendation, that's why we think the apartment is very good for people who also want to take part in... More »
This apartment was perfect for me and my boyfriend. The location was amazing with restaurants, cafes, pubs, gelato shops, bakeries, and theaters all around us. Lucy and Tizzy were great hosts - we dealt mainly with Tizzy, who was very sweet and generous. She was incredibly gracious and made sure the apartment was perfectly comfortable and clean for us. Honestly, she went beyond expectations to insure we had a great trip and stay. We cannot wait to go back!
We had a great visit to London. The location is ideal. Although the location is a bit on the loud side, the easy location was enough to compensate. Closing all the interior doors reduced the late night noise. The apartment was well kept and comfortable
Lucy was a fantastic host, checking in with me during the week to make sure my stay was enjoyable. Although the place is tiny, the great location of the place more than makes up for it. I would definitely stay at the studio again!
Very central location. Apartment is comfortable. Would come back and stay again for sure.
We had a lovely time at Tizzy and Lucy's place and Tizzy was very hospitable and responsive. The place looks like the pictures except the shower was a bit small. Overall it has a cozy feeling. There is a quite a bit of noise from the street (a pub is below the apartment). Very good location.
We stayed for 5 nights with our infant and had a wonderful time. They had a new travel baby crib/cot that we were able to fit in the bedroom and it worked wonderfully. Tizzy and Lucy were warm and welcoming and very helpful when we had questions or needed help. I was very impressed and would highly recommend. The place is exactly as described and it is a wonderful location for enjoying all of London. The neighborhood is great with lots of places to eat and soho square down the street. ... More »
It was a nice experience to stay in London. The location is excellent and so easy to get to everywhere. I would come back and stay here again if thats possible !
Small, cozy, clean and perfect located apartment. 10-20 min. by walk to any music-hall, easy access to tube, shopping arias (Oxford st., Bond st.) in walk distance, a lot of different cuisines coffee-bars in surroundings, china town right beside block. Hostess was very kind and attentive – thank You very much! Would like to turn back here
I just had the best time in London - which started with the care and thoughtfulness of Tizzy and Lucy. I was made to feel really welcome - breakfast basics including eggs, cereal, milk , tea, coffee etc provided. London was quite cool - but good heating in the studio. Wonderful hot water, comfortable bed and clean linen. The studio is in the best location - I combined business with pleasure and the host's attention to detail and my welfare was beyond expectations. The studio washing... More »
The location is absolutely great for anyone willing to enjoy London's best attractions. From here you can walk almost anywhere, and find cozy places to eat, go to shows, shop and visit museums and exhibitions. The apartment is comfortable and nice, and Lucy and Tizzy available and helping.
Lucy and Tizzy are very nice and friendly! Excellent trip in London, Leicester Square is a good place and the flat is great. Thank you very much!
Tizzy and Lucy were great hostesses! The flat is in a fantastic location, only a few minutes away from the Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square stops. Tizzy met me on time with the keys and gave me a quick run down of the area and the flat. She was also kind enough to check in with me during the weekend to make sure everything was okay and that I didn't have any problems. Thanks again!
The flat is very central located, clean, fully equipped (kitchen, bathroom etc.), safe. The host is very friendly and helpful. We stayed there with 3 persons. For 4 persons it could get a little crowded. Also it is quite noisy from the streets at night (you are in the middle of Soho...). So you might want to consider earplugs. Other than this it is perfect for your stay in London.
This apartment is in a fantastic location! It is close to everything: 5 mins from Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road station, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, theatres are all within walking distance. The street is noisy and busy at night but it is London, so it can be expected. We had 3 people staying in the apartment, and although it was a little small, it is a fantastic spot for a short stay! There was an odour in the main bedroom for majority of our stay (10 days), but by the end of our... More »
Great location, nice place. The only downside was the street noise. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Lucy and Tizzy.
We stayed at this flat for 1 week, 2 adults and 1 three year old child. We had a wonderful time. The flat is so close to all the attractions that we only took the tube 1x, and walked for the rest of the way. There are so many restaurants nearby it was hard to choose. While it may not seem that it is the best for toddler, it was great with the pub downstairs, my little one was not the loudest around. Plus there is a great park a few doors down. Tizzy and Lucy were very kind and available... More »
Great location, nice place !
Lucy and Tizzy were great hosts. Organized, good communicators and ready for our arrival. Apartment was just as described: clean, well-apportioned, and perfectly located. We are theater buffs, so couldn't have been happier with the situation as it's a stone's throw from all the major theaters and most of the major attractions. The only downside was the street noise as everyone notes in the reviews. But even with two kids who slept in the front room, we'd probably do it all again just... More »
Lucy was a great host, everything went perfect.The appartment could not be located any more central, all the famous places like picadilly circus and Oxford are only a 5 min. walk away.It is a bit noisy during weekends but it was still a great place to stay.
Booked the apt at short notice but that was not a problem for Lucy & Tizzy. Response was fast and instructions simple. Great location in the middle of Soho. Perfect if you're in town for shopping/theatre/restaurants (or work). Easy walk to tube stations to explore other parts of London too. Bit of street noise at night, but nothing that you wouldn't expect being in Soho.
Lucy and Tizzy were excellent hostesses -- communication was extremely prompt, they were very flexible with our travel schedule, and most importantly, Tizzy, whom we met in person, was a really great person. Would absolutely stay in the apartment again -- the location doesn't get any better than this and the apartment is clean and comfortable. The only caveat -- one of the beds is in the kitchen/living room, which faces onto Greek Street. The street gets fairly noisy, particularly on the... More »
If you really want to live in center of London and heart of Soho it is ideal place to stay. Lucy is very nice host and very helpful. I will book her beautyful flat again when I will arrive to London.
Lucy was very accommodating and we are very grateful! The location was beyond belief! Thanks!!
well located and clean Lucy is really nice and convenient
Lucy's got a great place and was very accommodating, especially when some of the guys I was travelling with were going to be in London before I could be there. Thanks very much! Highly recommend if you want to be in the heart of London.
Lucy and her apartment fantastic. Couldn't be in a better spot to explore London. A lively happening area with plenty of places to eat & drink . Lucy was very hospitable and friendly. And her place spotless. With all the amenities you could ask for. Thanks Lucy. We will be sure to tell many people.
We had a great stay at Lucy's place. You can't be the central location. It's well-furnished and she makes sure you have a clean and comfortable place to stay. A good pair of earplugs comes in handy if you want to block out the street noise, but it's only a minor inconvenience for the great apartment and extraordinarily convenient location!
Lucy herself is an extremely accommodating person, and did her best to make us feel comfortable and offer advice about things to do in London. The flat was in a extremely central location, with close access to the tube, the shopping, the theatre district and several restaurants and clubs. One of the only downsides of the flat, however, was the large amounts of noise heard from the street till around 4 am in the morning. Overall, we had a good time.
My daughter and I just spent a fabulous week at Lucy's flat in Soho. The flat is in an amazing location in Soho (although it is a bit noisy on Saturday night). Close to tons of great restaurants (see my blog: (website hidden) and so near to great shopping, theaters and transportation. Both Lucy, and her friend Tizzy, were very gracious and helpful. When we had to leave a day early due to a medical problem, Lucy kindly... More »
The host canceled my reservation.
I had the pleasure to stay at Lucys apt. for three nights in August and i had an overall great experience with renting from her. the place in reality matches perfect with what the pictures promised. everything is working and in good condition. the location is perfect, right in the middle of soho life. Lucys friend who took care of us as Lucy was on holidays was very nice and kind and caring about our well being. this is how renting through airbnb should be. great value places, easy rental... More »
Excellent location close to most of the major attractions, super markets and safe area, very clean, contemporary, all appliances working, Lucy herself was on vacation but she made sure some one was there to receive and check in and she made calls every day to find out if every thing was OK, Lucy kept in touch via email to give us the updates for the contact. We recommend and would love to go back if we get a chance. Thanks Lisa, Lucy and Tizzy.
Had a great stay at Lucy's apartment. Lucy is a lovely host, very helpful and flexible. The apartment is petite and tidy and clean and incredibly well situated -- in the middle of a hopping area that is an easy, easy walk to the tube. (Our nine year old did it pulling a suitcase.) Indeed, the street itself has everything from an old fashioned pub to a Michelin one star restaurant. Great Chinese food nearby as well. The only potential issue is noise on a weekend night in the summer. ... More »
We had a great stay in Lucy's apartment. It is VERY central. We love the atmosphere of Soho London. The apartment is right above a Pub so it can be noisy in the night- the main bedroom is quiet though. It would suit travellers who want to enjoy the London nightlife. It is also very close to all the theatres and shopping on Oxford St. Lucy is very friendly and helpful. She was especially thoughtful and allowed us to check out late. The apartment is modern, clean and very comfortable. ... More »
What can I say: I LOVE LUCY! She looked after me in London and showed the kind of concern and care rarely seen in this kind of deal. Justin.
Lucy is a lovely person I have known her since I was in secondary school. While in central London I stayed at her property and she is still kind, loving, helpful and overly organised as she was in secondary school. The property is centrally located with access to most of the main attractions in London. The property is close to Charing Cross main line station and Tottenham Court Road and Leister Square station there are also several restaurants, bars and shopping. I would definitely... More »
