This flat is great - clean, comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen, etc. A short 10 minute walk to Oxford Street and just 10 minutes over from Marylebone. Cute restaurants and pubs nearby. Quiet street but close to everything. The lift was great for bringing up the luggage. The owner had a pdf filled with great information about the flat and London in general. Would highly recommend & hope to stay here again!

My older son and I spent five nights here on a tour of London. The flat is well situated near major attractions (e.g., the British Museum), multiple subway stops, and groceries. Liz is a very responsive host concerned with our comfort and quick to respond. Although the apartment accommodates 3, it is perfect for 2 people.

The one bedroom apartment was in a great location within walking distance to Euston station, British Museum and many restaurants and stores. The apartment had a nicely equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom was comfortable and had a large closet A key reason we chose this flat was that it had a combined washer dryer. Unfortunately the door mechanism froze and it took 3 days before their maintenance man could get it opened so that we could retrieve our clothes. This must be a common problem as the pdf instruction document stated that if the door became inoperable it is because one tried to open it when the locked light was on and guest would be charged to fix it. As a VRBO host I found this most disturbing to read especially when we saw that the pdf washer instructions were not for the unit installed. My wife and I downloaded the correct unit instructions and followed them carefully. Hence our extreme dismay when the door didn’t open after the door’lock light’ turned off. These combo units are apparently not of a robust design and definitely shouldn’t be used in rental units. In my units we use commercial grade washers and dryers. On a positive note the manager was east to reach and communicated well throughout our stay. She recommended that we use a taxi to first retrieve the key from the retail store before delivering us and our luggage to the apartment. This made our checkin so much easier for a couple of tired seniors.

The flat was very quiet inside and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and large. The area is very central with lots of restaurants and transportation options in the immediate neighborhood. We were only there for three nights and mostly seeing friends, so we didn't spend too much time in the flat and didn't use any of the kitchen facilities or TV.
We had initial difficulty getting into the building as key fobs look different from the ones we are used to. Also, the shower operation was not immediately obvious. Both problems were solved after contacting the owner., who was very responsive. A shower mat would be very helpful as the shower floor is very slippery.

The location was excellent, Liz was responsive to our queries. But we found that the directions for the washer/dryer were confusing. Also, it would have been nice if more than just one roll of toilet paper had been supplied. Other than that, no complaints.

Construction started at 6:30 am. You can hear neighbours late into evening as all sound bounces off the roof top of surrounding buildings.

Our first time to London...a very busy 4 days seeing many sights...and coming home to a lovely apartment at the end of each day. The shower was lovely and the bed was so comfortable. Liz was a very responsive host and a pleasure to communicate with. The area was perfect...walkable to many restaurants, pubs and easy transport either by the tube or bus to many attractions. We would definitely recommend and would stay again if in London.

Excellent location-many restaurants, coffee shops and retail shops within walking distance. Easy walk to several tube stations. Apartment is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. Liz, the host, is very helpful and quick to respond to questions. We were able to check in a bit early which was a lifesaver after an eight hour cross-Atlantic flight. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

Liz the property owner was wonderful to work with right from the moment we booked. She was informative and helpful. The flat was just what we needed. Fitzrovia is a great neighborhood. The flat is close to multiple tube stops, plus tons of shopping and restaurants. The property packet provided was full of clear directions, maps and helpful tips for travel/touring in and around London. We would definitely stay at this property again!

My wife and I stayed here for a full month and were overall very pleased. The flat had just about everything that we needed. The bed is quite comfortable, and the bathroom is small but has a very good walk-in shower. We were able to prepare simple meals in the kitchen, which is quite well equipped. The location is brilliant, and we loved having so many shops, grocery outlets, and restaurants close by. Having two tube stations nearby made it extremely easy to get around town. We particularly loved the local restaurants: B Bagel, DaPaolo's, the Charlotte Street Hotel (fabulous cream tea in the afternoon!), and the outstanding street food (weekdays in front of the American International Church on Tottenham Court Road).

We enjoyed our stay in Fitzrovia. The apartment was perfect for our group. It was easy to find, near the tube, clean, well appointed and the property manager was super in helping us out when we had a problem (on our end, not due to any issue with the property). She was kind and caring and we appreciate her help immensely!

Had such a delightful time in London and loved staying at this property. Felt very secure and comfortable in this neighborhood. The apartment was very well equipped, tidy, and super clean. The king size bed was soooo comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. We were 2 women that did quite a bit of shopping and were thankful for the space. Liz was easy to communicate with and made the process effortless with clear directions and valuable information that helped us get oriented. Look forward to returning!

3 of us stayed very comfortably for 8 nights in this small but remarkably well outfitted apartment. The beds were comfortable; indeed, the sofa bed was more comfortable than most. The kitchen has everything one needs to cook, though we mostly ate out. In addition, there is a washer/dryer (small but functional) and dishwasher (which we never needed to use) packed discretely into the kitchen cabinets. The bathroom makes good use of space and the shower is excellent. Of course, it's the location that attracts one's attention to this listing in the first place, and that does not disappoint. The apartment is in easy walking distance to dozens of restaurants, pubs, bookstores, the British Museum, UCL, and more. Short walks will get you to the Northern, Victoria, Circle, Metropolitan, and Hammersmith & City lines. Including the walk, most destinations in town were less than 30 minutes away by Underground. All in all, an ideal base for visiting London for the 3 of us.

Our main reason for revisiting is because of Liz!!
We had a few minor questions we asked and she responded quickly each and every time. Also a power outage happened while we were out of the flat attending a play and she alerted us. When we returned to the flat the power had been restored, but the notification would have warned us in the event it was not. Thanks Liz and we'll be back!

This is a well kept, comfortable one bedroom apartment in Fitzrovia. The tube is two blocks away, St Pancras rail station (Eurostar to Paris) is a ten minute walk away and Fitzroy becomes the Charlotte Street restaurant district in two short blocks. For those who like to walk, it’s an easy, safe 25 minute walk to the theater district or to Regent Street and the rest of central London. Liz, the owner went out of her way to help when I left my keys in the apartment on Saturday morning. She graciously managed to have someone retrieve my keys and take them to a local shop, despite the fact that neither she, nor any of her employees were in London. I will stay here again on my next visit to London.

The flat in Fitzrovia was bright, airy and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit of 2 weeks. We were surrounded by great places to eat, multiple tube and bus stations, and loved the vibrant student area. Liz was very responsive and helpful when we needed it. The info on the pdf brochure was fantastic and complete! Thank you!

We had a lovely time here. Very walkable area, many varied restaurants a short walk away. Short walk to the tube stations. The flat was is great condition, just as described and pictured. Liz was helpful and gracious, even when we had to call late to finish our check-in. A little far to walk to most historic/tourist sites (except the British Museum and the theaters), but the tube is easy to figure out, and gets you very close to where you want to go, very quickly.

Liz was very responsive and helpful when I had questions about the area. The apartment was clean and very comfortable and was centrally located to the tube stations.

My husband and I stayed in this lovely flat on our first trip to London. An excellent location with public transportation within one block. The flat was very clean. The bedroom very comfortable with everything we needed in the kitchen. Many restaurants and shops in the neighborhood . Only half mile walk to British museum and one mile to Trafalgar Square and the National gallery. Check in was very easy and Liz was very helpful and answered all questions right away. We would definitely stay there again. Wonderful week.

This is a very well maintained property, well set up for visitors, in a somewhat quiet neighborhood centrally located to a lot London has to offer. Liz, the property manager, was very helpful every step of the way. She made the excellent suggestion to buy Oyster cards for the London Underground - with those managing getting from place to place was easy. Highly recommended.

Great location, close to several great places to eat (including Amarino gelato and the Italian Bear--desserts are important to us). The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The apartment was very comfortable for my wife, my 18 yr old son, and myself. Liz was fantastic to communicate with and very accommodating when we needed to check in earlier in the day. Everything was perfect--would definitely stay here again.

Great stay for first visit to London
This was a cute apartment conveniently located near 2 underground stations and many restaurants. Due to a transit strike in the area we often walked to our destinations, especially Soho area. Liz was very quick to respond to any of our questions. There was a small plumbing issue within the building during our stay and she worked with us to make sure we were comfortable with the contractor entering the apartment, etc; She even left us cookies for our trouble. Having a washer/dryer was very nice, especially for travelers headed out to other destinations. after London. Make sure to do your laundry a day before you need it as it can take quite awhile for the dry cycle especially. I would recommend Fitzrovia to friends and family.
