Summary: We were in London for a week and the apartment was a good spot for exploring the city. It had sufficient space for 3 and there were almost 10 places to eat within a 5 minute walk. There were 2 very hot days and the bedroom has 2 fans but no air conditioning although the main room does. The window cannot be opened due to the noise from the meat market in the night. Also, the washer dryer combo worked well for washing but not for drying. Rolf did offer us another dryer for use. Besides those 2 issues, we were really pleased with our stay.

Summary: Great location. The only issues that we encountered have been repeated in other reviews…. Noisy bar downstairs and very noisy meat market across the street during the night. This being said, I do believe the owners have made efforts to reduce the noise but installing proper windows and window treatments. Only other real negative was the lack of towels for our two week stay. There is a washer but the dryer malfunctioned while we were there and had to hang dry towels and clothes. Some items could also use a little updating and the kitchen area is seeing some wear and tear just from overuse. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to contact!

Summary: We stayed in the summer and when it was hot outside it was hot inside. There was a standing a/c unit in one room but it didn’t cool the place. We kept windows open but the meat market is right across the street and it is very loud at all hours of night with trucks, carts, yelling etc so windows open is tough. Bring earplugs! Otherwise location etc was great!

Summary: Lots of train lines close by, so my family and I were able to get anywhere in the city quickly, as well as to London Stadium and Wembley Stadium. Neighborhood seems nice, safe - no problems. Excellent value for the location. We would return!

Summary: The apartment was as advertised, yet is most appropriate for a family given the two large single beds in the main living/kitchen area. This would not be ideal for a couple renting this one bedroom apartment. Although we appreciated the convenient location and being within a short walk to the train station and bus stop, the apartment is located next to a very busy Smithfield Wholesale meat market which operates from midnight to10:00 am. With the windows closed the noise is barely decernable, but could be a factor to consider when renting this apartment. We were there when weather was quite warm and although an air conditioner was noted as a simple connection; it was a portable unit that requires venting through a window, thus making the limited floor space even more crowded. We chose not to set it up and used the fans. The pots and pans were unusable, but after contacting the owner they sent a new set via Amazon the next day. Much appreciated. The owner was responsive given a few issues that arose during our stay. It would a great apartment if it were set up as a proper living/dining room combo, rather than cramming extra beds in the living area.

Summary: My husband, 23-year-old son and I stayed for 10 days. Rolf and Mok were much better about communication than we were, getting helpful detailed info and recommendations to us in advance so we could plan and checking to make sure we’d arrived when they hadn’t heard from us. (And they hadn’t heard from us because everything was so clearly explained.) We also hit the ground running and never stopped the whole time we were there. The flat is perfectly located near Farringdon Station with access to most everywhere. We took public transport the entire time, and we appreciated the area is a little removed from the more busy streets of London. As we love to walk, we also found it within distance to Barbican, where we enjoyed the London Symphony Orchestra, Trafalgar Square, Parliament, the London Eye, and the more tourist-laden sites in that area along the Thames. It’s a hike to the latter two, but we enjoyed just seeing the city on foot. One specific recommendation is visiting the Royal Observatory and taking in the most spectacular view of London and taking the water taxi back from Greenwich after dark and seeing the amazing city lights and bridges. Anyway, the flat is very functional! The shower and WiFi work well. We never had any time to watch television. The only issue is noise from the bar below and the adjacent meat market, which runs midnight to 7 am four nights a week, I think. But the noise is muffled by double panes on the windows. Still, you may want to consider earplugs.

Summary: The flat was perfect for our family of four. We loved being so close to the Elizabeth line and St Paul’s Cathedral. And the local pubs and coffee shops were very convenient at the start/end of our days. It was great that our kids had separate twin beds. The shower was amazing! And Rolf was very attentive.

Summary: Rolf was very quick to respond with any question I had prior to arriving. We had very detailed instructions about where to go and how to get in just prior to departing from home to go to London. The location was incredibly convenient with regard to getting to anywhere we wanted. I do recommend this place.
