Great host with close access to the tube for your London vacation.
I traveled there with my wife, daughter, brother and sister in law and their infant son. Nicole (the host) was incredibly accommodating and communicative with us before and during our stay. She made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The flat had everything we needed for our trip including two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. The flat is a short walk to the tube, grocery store, and local restaurants. Having everything we needed close by made commuting to the city a great experience.

Convenient spacious flat for our family
We had a wonderful week in London exploring the city. The check in process was easy and Nicole responded quickly to the few questions we had during our visit. Her restaurant suggestions were very helpful - highly recommend this space if you are looking for something away from the tourist zone, with easy access to everything you want to see.

Comfortable Stay for Fam with Little Ones
This is a great option for a family of little ones. It’s close to the Underground and close enough to Central London if you prefer a car. Nicole is really great at communicating and responds quickly to messages. We were excited to have a garden and outdoor space for our toddlers, but we were disappointed to see a trampoline on the patio, as it’s not pictured in the listing. It takes up a good portion of the outdoor space and we didn’t think it was safe for our kids at their young ages. It left us battling to keep them off of it instead of enjoying the space as planned. Otherwise, this is a lovely landing place for a family after a long day exploring a big city.

Convenient location and comfortable flat
We enjoyed our stay in Queens Park. The ground floor flat is 5 minutes walk from coffee shops, a grocery store and the tube station which provides regular services on the Bakerloo line. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. They met us onsite to let us check in early and leave our luggage. The flat was spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again when next in London.

Quiet Flat in the Suburbs
We really enjoyed this flat. The flat had all that we needed for our short stay in London. As a bonus, the underground station was just a short walk away to get us into the City Center for exploring and taking in the sights. The host answered was prompt in answering all our questions and even offered suggestions on how to make our stay in London much more enjoyable.

London vacation with husband and two teens
Flat is on the first floor, very conveniently located to the Queen's Park stop on the subway. Trains arrive every few minutes, so you can be in Central London in 15-20 minutes depending on where you're headed. Flat was comfortable and well outfitted with bedding for the two bedrooms and the pullout couch in the front living room area. Kitchen included all the items we needed for making quick meals or heating up food. Bathroom is functional. One challenge is the lack of electrical outlets, so you may want to bring an extension cord for charging devices or blowdrying your hair. We had an issue with ants but after a text exchange with Nicole, found ant poison in the laundry cabinets. That seems to take care of the issue.

We had a great stay at Nicole’s flat! It was very clean and tidy and a perfect place for us as we were traveling with our adult son. The location is good, just a short walk to the Queen’s Park tube station and lots of places to eat nearby. Nicole was very helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns. We tried a couple of her suggestions for places to eat nearby: a cafe and a wonderful bakery and were very pleased!!! All in all a wonderful place and we’d definitely stay here again!

Convenient location. Good space for group.
Stayed 4 nights with family to visit London. Flat is very conveniently located close to Underground, with direct access to many of Londono’s main attractions. Easy walk to grocery store, restaurants and Portobello market. Apartment is well suited for 4 people but not more (was advertised for 6 when we booked). The Pros: - overall space - location convenience - easy communication with property manager. - Great kitchen space if you want to have meals on site. The Cons: - furnishing: sleeper sofa lacked comfort, dining room chairs were limited and in poor condition. Dining table not suited for more that 4 people. - overall cleanliness of inside and outside was below average for rental - we had to request more pillows and towels for our party (seems that other customers had to as well).
