We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment. We loved the quirkiness and all the unique touches. Our girls loved the lofted beds and having two separate floors (beds on top floor/kitchen and living space below) was very nice. Everything was as described. Top floor does get a bit warm but the fans helped with that a lot. Location was great, convenient to Underground, bus stop, tesco, Roam coffee shop, and variety of pubs and quick food options. Also walking distance to the Imperial War Museum which was amazing - pop in if you get a chance!

Ideally located 5 min walk from Vauxhall underground and an easy 20 min stroll to Westminster along the ThamesProperty really big and great for a large group/family. Comfortable beds but worth noting the stairs to the mezzanine. Not for you if looking for a modern feel, but clean, tidy and ideal for our family of four (with teens).Amanda always replied to my messages but largely leaves you to it!

This was a lovely and unique VRBO. A was very pleasant and responsive. She allowed us to drop off our luggage early and did what she could to support us while there. The home is “quirky” but exactly as she described. It is very close, a 5 minute walk max. , to the easy to navigate tube (metro). There are multiple restaurants in the area and the ppl were incredibly friendly.

The place was in a safe neighborhood not far from the train station or bus. We chose this place mainly because it was near the Black Dog pub. The accommodation has three levels with steep stairs. The first level being the entrance. The second level being the living room and kitchen. The third level being the bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We loved the water pressure and the shampoo and conditioner they provided. The place was not a clean as could be, it was quite dusty along the stairwell. Overall, lovely place.

Great location!

Beautiful residence and in an excellent location for central London. We walked to many sites from there and easy tube/train access. Downsides: we came in the middle of a heat wave and the place got very hot and it was hard to sleep. It also has steep stairs which was tricky with the luggage. However, I think if it hadn’t been so hot it would have been a comfortable place to stay.

Wonderful stay!

What a jewel! This historic home is so full of character and charm. There was plenty of space and the kids loved the lofted beds. We really enjoyed feeling like we were staying with the locals but also so close to the tube and all the sights. We ate at the Black Dog on the owners recs and it also did not disappoint. We absolutely loved our stay here!

Almost perfect

I loved the house it was beautiful, unique, spacious filled with amazing touches from the Victorian era just truly like no where else I've stayed before I really loved the upstairs loft beds something about being in alil cave bed made me happy. Now the one annoying thing that's the only real issue is the temperature/ thermostat the first night we where FREEEZING and I did everything I could to warm the house but didn't learn till the ext morning I had no control of the thermostat and had to message the owner thru the app to turn up or down the heat. This resulted inmultiple nights of point of waking up in ur own sweat to freezing cold mornings ! The morning of check out we all had to get ready and leave in the freezing cold cus the heaters didn't turn on till 7 when we where walking out the door. If they where to give there customer temperature control I'd say this was a 5 out of 5 for sure but that one little detail made the house uncomfortable numerous times a day . Beds where great sheets and blankets where great pillows where perfect. Fresh plants everywhere ! Guite literally almost perfect

Fascinating period property in a quiet location 5 minutes walk to Vauxhall underground. Quirky layout which the children loved. The adults enjoyed relaxing on the terrace in the evening. Well equipped kitchen and supermarket nearby made self-catering an easy option. We loved it!

Lovely flat in Vauxhall

We stayed for 6 nights in 10/2024 (Sun-Sat). Could hear club music Fri night. My teens LOVED that there were two lofts in the two bedrooms for them to sleep in. I had a full-size bed in one of those rooms and it was fine. The entire flat is a bit quirky (we're American) but worked great for us. The 1st floor (street level) goes up to the stairs to the 2nd floor (living room, kitchen, & balcony #1), then up again for the 3rd floor (full bathroom, bedrooms, & balcony #2). There is a washer but no dryer. If you plan to do a lot of laundry, you might find it challenging to dry. Fridge is half size, with the freezer being literally a slot (but works well). All the furniture is tired and probably in need of a refresh, but works fine. Favorite parts: skylight, window seats in the living room, park and separate playground across the street, location, and easy access to public transportation. Least favorite parts: the ceiling leaked during rain one night, but the owner is already taking care of it; being able to hear pretty much everything the neighbors were doing between 7-10pm; no dryer for clothing beyond the rack; and the high entry point to tub/shower. Not recommended for those with mobility issues (stairs). We loved this flat and would stay here again in London!

Family Visit

The property was clean and located near transportation and restaurants. We were in town to move our daughter into her dorm at LSE and it was a nice location for all of us to stay together for a few days before returning home to the US. Amanda was very accommodating and responsive and we will stay again if the property is available when we cone to visit our daughter.

Great accommodation for family stay in London

Our family of six had a great stay at this lovely apartment. Close to all the attractions London has to offer and Vauxhall station for tube and rail connections. An ageing property, it could use a few updates, but for price and location it was great for us. The hosts were very responsive also.
