Goran was very friendly and kind, with a lot of information about food places to eat. He was flexible with our check in time when we arrived early, and came over quickly to respond to a minor issue with the water heater. All in all a great host. We loved staying at the apartment.

FranciscoRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We couldn't have found a better place to stay! Bukurosh's apartament was amazing, better than we anticipated. The location is perfect, a calm area with lots of transportation options to the city center. It's a very comforting place to stay after a day in busy London. Bukurosh was always very helpful and fast to reply. This is definitely where I'll want to stay if I'm ever back in London. Thanks again, Bukurosh!

ManonRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Dani was a great host, very helpful and friendly. If we had any questions or any issues, he was available and trying to resolve quickly any issue that could arise. The location is also very nice, close to two metro stations, supermarkets and bus stations. There are also a lot of nice restaurants surrounding the apartment. The kitchen is also very nice and we weren't missing anything during our stay. I definitely recommend staying at Dani's location as it will be worth it.

Newly Refurbished Large Family Home-6 min to Tube

LidaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Jubed was a terrific host - extremely responsive and helpful (even when I managed to lock our passports in the safe on Easter, and couldn’t get them out!). The place was also perfect for our large family - clean, spacious, nice kitchen, outdoor area. We also loved the neighborhood, and since the Piccadilly line was just a five minute walk from the house, it was easy to get anywhere in London. Great place! Would stay there again.

Stunning 5 bedroom detached house in Hornchurch

AliRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nova’s property! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect – close to underground, yet still peaceful and relaxing. Nova was an exceptional host, always quick to respond to any questions and making sure we felt right at home. The thoughtful touches, like Wine bottle and Roshen chocolate, truly went above and beyond our expectations. We can’t recommend this place enough and would love to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Superb penthouse with 2 bathrooms and roof terrace

This apartment was exactly as described. Very convenient to the tube, and a great find to stay at. I wish my group had taken more advantage of the amenities (kitchen and outdoor patio), but they were as described. We did have one small issue upon arrival; I messaged and received a reply immediately and it was remedied the following day. Excellent communication!

Comfortable micro studio at 4th floor 5 mim/tube

UteRating, 5 stars6 months ago
The apartment is in the middle of London, on a beautiful and quiet street. The house is very well maintained, and although the path to the 4th floor is a bit challenging, the ascent is absolutely worth it! The apartment corresponds exactly to the pictures – everything is sparkling clean and well equipped. There's nothing missing, and the high-quality furnishings create a real feel-good atmosphere. Especially pleasant: in the bathroom there are even Rituals products. Beatrix always responded very quickly and solution-oriented to our questions. We felt completely comfortable. This place is a 10/10 – we will be happy to come back and can fully recommend it!

Modern 2 bed flat Notting hill

StephanieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Perfect location, lovely rooms, easy access to Underground and buses. Lovely place to stay if you want to explore Notting Hill. We were there in August and there is no air conditioning, but opening the windows at night and the fans made it quite pleasant. This flat is on a very busy street, so the nighttime noises (traffic, people) can wake you up, so if that bothers you, I suppose it could be a problem. But it wasn’t a problem for us. The washer and dryer were a huge plus.

Lovely well-connected, spacious apartment

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Vania’s flat was very nice! We cooked quite a few meals in the kitchen and it had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable as was the furniture in the living room area. We also liked having a washing machine! The public transportation into London is very easy! We’d hop on the 140 right outside the door, take it two stops to the tube station and the tube went right to pretty much whatever stop you needed! The neighborhood is lively. We would get back kind of late and still markets and restaurants were open and people were out and about and it was Sunday/Monday. I recommend Praba and The White Horse - such good food at both places and easy to walk to. I recommend Vania’s place! I hope to be back in London again and would stay for sure.

Your guide to London

All About London

One of the world’s most visited cities, London is a rich tapestry of history, culture, and innovation that come together seamlessly over 600 square miles on the River Thames. Even if you’ve never been to the English capital, chances are you’re familiar with its sights like Big Ben, London Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. You could spend months exploring its world-class museums, sprawling Victorian gardens, and A-list theaters and still not scratch the surface.

London’s creative drive extends beyond the exhibition halls and onto the plate. The city is an epicenter of gastronomy, boasting some of the most diverse cuisine in the world. Indian curry houses line Brick Lane, Jamaican jerk chicken shops populate New Cross, and the aroma of grilled Turkish kebabs welcomes you to Stoke Newington. In between meals, you’ll find high-fashion boutiques, niche markets, and some of the oldest bookstores in Europe. Just make sure you save time to spend a Sunday afternoon with a classic roast dinner and your beverage of choice at a corner pub — you’ll fall in love with London in an entirely different way.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in London

London’s weather is fairly mild year-round, but that does not mean it is always warm and sunny. Rain is part of the charm in the capital, so it’s smart to pack an umbrella and a trench coat. Flowering trees and blooming gardens make spring a lovely time to visit, while a visit in December promises Christmas markets and holiday magic that emanates across the city. The weather is likely to be the best in summer, while chilly winter days make for a perfect excuse to park yourself in front of the fireplace and warm your stomach with some snacks at a pub. Regardless of when you go, keep in mind that there is no off-season in London and no shortage of apartments to rent.


Top things to do in London

Shopping in Shoreditch

Every Sunday, London’s trendiest neighborhood is home to Brick Lane market. Wander past buskers playing live music and striking street art, and you’ll find stalls selling vintage clothing, antiques, and wares by local designers. Duck into basement thrift shops and past warehouse doors that house artist ateliers, and follow your nose to Upmarket, a sprawling street food hall, for a smorgasbord of international snack options.

Barbican Centre

Amble past the Southbank booksellers and turn your eye to the Brutalist beauty that is the Barbican. Part apartment block, part multidisciplinary art complex, it’s a one-stop shop for revolving contemporary art exhibitions, to take in a London Symphony Orchestra concert, see the season’s top-billed independent theatre, or watch an arthouse film. And in December it hosts one of the city’s most charming outdoor Christmas markets.

The Shard

If you’re looking for views, you won’t get better ones than from the tip top of the Shard, a 72-story skyscraper that towers above London Bridge. It houses several restaurants and bars, each one serving up delectable views over the city skyline. Whether you’re after modern British fare, craft cocktails, or afternoon tea, you’ll feel on top of the world looking out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with the whole city sprawled beneath. Naturally, the most impressive views are to be found at sunset and into the night.
