This was my third stay here. Shahryar was a thoughtful host who even stocked up the fridge for me and was always available if I needed any help.Staying here really feels like home.

I had a wonderful ten day stay with my two teenagers in Shahryar’s lovely and well-appointed flat. We had the pleasure of being warmly greeted by his mum, and she personally showed us around the flat. Although London was experiencing a heat wave, with temps reaching the 30sC/90sF, the flat remained comfortable with the cross ventilation from the large balcony doors and the bedroom windows, which open quite far. There was a nearly constant breeze on both sides of the building. There are two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combination, and there were plenty of towels available. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage for clothes, and beds are very comfortable! There’s reliable Wi-Fi and the kitchen has everything you could ask for. The clothes washer worked perfectly, and clothes dried quickly on the drying rack with the balcony doors open. The living room has two very comfortable sofas, with two overhead lighting options for the living room/dining room area, or the option to use just one or more lamps. The three of us were able to sit outside on the balcony and enjoy the breeze and the canal views together. (If you like late nights, you might spot the family of foxes coming and going from the garden across the street!) There are two bus stops within three minutes of the building, and a co-op grocery downstairs. The building is very secure, the staff is friendly. We wanted for nothing, had a spectacular stay, and would love to stay again! Thank you, Shahryar!

Staying in Shahryar's lovely apartment, I felt that I was staying in the beautiful home of a friend. The apartment looks just like its pictures, beautifully furnished, light and airy with a huge balcony overlooking the Regent Canal with lovely views of the city. The well-equipped kitchen even has an espresso machine and an amazing spice collection. The two-bedroom flat would be excellent for a family since there are several parks with great playgrounds nearby and also a recreation centre with a swimming pool. The location is quite far from central London, but a number of buses stop right at the corner and once you figure out the bus system you can travel anywhere quite easily. There is an excellent Co-co supermarket in the building which for a small shop has an amazing range of products including a good selection of wine, fresh fruits and vegetables and interesting food. Bobo and Wild, also in the building, in a friendly coffee shop and restaurant. I look forward to staying here again.
