Places to stay in London

Wow, what a lovely central spacious flat. I’m so happy I booked to stay at Marco’s. Definitely book it if it’s available. Pros: spacious, great location, comfy, tons of natural light. Cons: none.

Light and spacious facing a quiet garden in a beautiful neighbourhood near Hampstead Heath. Local buses and walk to lovely Highgate village cafes and parks. Comfortable for working as well as relaxing in the garden. Very clean and modern.

Flat was as advertised, clean and inviting… close to shops, restaurants, and transport. Flexibility with bag drop off and pick up was much appreciated and stood out from other options in the area.

David’s place was amazing. It had every comfort you could want. David was incredibly helpful and responsive at every stage. The information he provided was extremely detailed. We thoroughly enjoyed and stay and would love to return again soon.

Amazing stay! Highly recommend, we had a great time. Great for kids, our daughter loved the toys and record player. Accessible to most things walking or public transit. We had a car and had to street park which ended up being no big deal. 10/10 would stay again!

Perfect studio apartment for a couple. Easy access to underground. A nice pub right around the corner. We are runners, so we enjoyed morning jogs around Regents Park, right across the street. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Would stay there again next time in London.

Absolutely charming, delightful, peaceful. “Dorothy”, the narrowboat, is moored in a peaceful side inlet of the Grand Union Canal, part of thousands of miles of canals in England. She’s painted a pretty red outside and inside is painted a gorgeous teal, with polished wood, and white ceilings. Very attractive inside and very comfortable. Beds were super cosy! Everything that you would need for a stay is provided. The boat is tucked away behind Lock Cottage, once the home of the lock-keeper in the 1800’s. Lindsey is an amazing host, very kind and attentive and flexible with our changing arrival times. She even came over the bridge to meet us. The Fox Hanwell pub is very close and very good and very lovely with a large garden with tables. A MUST if you are curious about narrow boats and would like to see what one is like before embarking on a journey.

This place is a gem. Branka was the best Airbnb host we have had in years: extremely helpful and kind, very flexible about check in, and she supplied the kitchen with practically every basic ingredient we might need (and when there was one thing she hadn't stocked - chili pepper - she promptly went to her own apartment to get some for us). And her place is great: clean, bright, with a roomy dining-living room and a very quiet bedroom in the back, kept cool even on a warm summer's day, where we heard the birds in the morning. The location isn't ideal - Holland Road is ugly - but it's quite near both a good shopping street in Shepherd's Bush and Hyde Park (about a mile away). I recommend this place highly.

Amazing London flat! BEST check in (with John) we’ve ever had at Airbnbs- he is amazing & u will want him to stay & socialize after he aptly explains home features & mini instructions! Public transit is close & walkable from flat which is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood Highly recommend staying here if you want to explore London!

Excellent spot about 10 minutes walk from Tower Bridge. Easy transport options close by. Enough room for my daughter and I for the two weeks! Would highly recommend if staying in London and you want convenience

A little gem of a place! Don't let the exterior fool you! It's homely, peaceful and just a home from home once you are through the door with a cuppa in hand and slumped on the sofa! I could of hapilt stayed for weeks! The flat is within walking distance to Battersea Park (5 minute walk) and Chelsea (15-20 minute walk) which was perfect for my solo trip to see Chelsea in bloom. There are some great free parking spots local to the flat which is great if you plan on coming by car! The area felt safe and welcoming and I had no issues walking to and from the flat even quite late at night. The bus stop is round the corner and takes you to all the great spots in central London! The highlights from my stay were being welcomed by a beautiful bottle of red wine, the amazing shower that I struggled to get out of as it was just so relaxing and the ambience of busy London in the background whilst I read my book next to the fire wrapped in a blanket! I will definitely be back!

This houseboat experience has been on my bucket list for YEARS, so when it came time to find a place to stay in London during my four day visit with my grandson for his 10th birthday - BINGO!! IT was a fantastic unique experience. It’s different of course but so easy to adjust to and enjoy thoroughly. Going to bed every night listening to the sweet gentle sound of nature around you was very soothing and the bed was extremely comfortable. Everything you can possibly need is right around you within a few minutes walk. Including two extremely convenient tube stations, railway station, restaurants, coffee shops and markets.

We had an amazing stay in Balham. Nicholas was a great host who quickly responded to any questions, even the annoying touristy ones, and provided very clear instructions. The home is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. Spending a week in this home was a delight. It is a quick walk from Balham Station, and there are plenty of wonderful restaurants in town. We were only a 20-30 minute underground train ride from everything we wanted to see and do in London. It is absolutely a great place to stay. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic, stylish and artistic home. The space is peaceful and relaxing. Courtyard is perfect for enjoying a cuppa in the morning air. James even went to the trouble of booking parking for us at a very reasonable price. Great park at the end of the road for dog walks and canal is just over the road for lovely strolls. A range of shops and eateries on the doorstep. One of the most comfortable stays we’ve had.

We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was clean, cosy and exactly as described. The location was perfect – quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Janet was a wonderful host: friendly, helpful and easy to reach. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we really enjoyed relaxing in the whirlpool after long days out. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Janet!

It was a delight to stay at Judith’s place. A very unusual flat with lots of natural light , nicely decorated and all the necessary amenities.Loved the roses in the garden. Staying at Judiths was like staying at a friends where everything was really comfortable and questions were answered straight away. The bread , milk , butter , honey and Prosecco left by her was very thoughtful. Was so lovely to be able to walk to Portobello market , Notting Hill , West View Mall and 3 tube stations in walking distance. Will definitely recommend the place as well as look to staying there again next time in London.

Fantastic location, staff and rooms

I stayed at this property for two nights with 3 friends for a commercial filming project for my beauty brand. The pool area is a fabulous filming spot, the pool is heated so can be used from morning to night. We made use of the tennis courts, which was great fun and we loved listening to the noises from the duck pond. The barn all amenities and lots of games available to play too when chilling late at night. Great all round fabulous stay.

Great London guides and maps available for use during our stay. We stayed 3 weeks and the place was cleaned every Wednesday. Paddington tube and railway station very close by. Take the canal boat trip from near the apartment to Camden Lock for a fun day. Good hot water and pressure in shower.

Loved my stay! The large/tall window and high ceilings in this studio helped to make the place feel quite spacious. Bed was super comfy and I felt right at home. Located in the best neighborhood too! Billie and Max are superb hosts! When I need a place to stay in London, I’ll be booking with them again!

Jessi’s narrowboat was a delight to stay in! It was a unique and fun experience for the 2 days I was in London. I loved the cleanliness of the boat, as well as the beautifully designed and efficient use of space. I also very much appreciated how close it is to Kings Cross station and walkable to restaurants and shops. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the bookshop barge, Word on the Water, is moored just across the canal. Jessi was a a wonderful and considerate host. Highly recommend!

Lovely little garden and Eliza's collections of decorative items really makes the place feel special. The bathrooms were both great and the house is set up well for a short stay.

A perfect stay, beautiful location, the hut is just as described. Really friendly and helpful host that sent clear instructions for everything. Check in is really smooth. We used all the amenities, hot tub, fire! The host organised a birthday sign and balloon for my boyf and because we don’t drink they welcomed us with some yummy soft drinks. We got a message in the morning saying we could check out half an hour later and they the host had prepaid for a hot drink for us, I had to rush off to work so we didn’t pick them up but such a lovely gesture for guests! Would deffo recommend. Thankyou for a lovely stay!

Overall, we enjoyed this stay and it had everything we needed for our first several nights in the UK. Nothing wrong at all with the studio and felt comfortable. Heads up for other travelers booking to head into central London, this is about a 1.5 hour drive by car to any tourist spots. It may say 30-40 minutes, but the traffic is extremely congested. We took the train one morning which took about an hour, and then tried buses on the way home but that was taking 2+ hours, so we Ubered. Also, I mustn’t have looked for this when booking, but there is no AC and no fan. We went to buy one because we can’t sleep without a breeze and some noise. On the rainy days, it got pretty humid. But, again, this was our first time in England and we didn’t have this knowledge!
