First visit to London and having a comfortable place to stay was a huge benefit. The flat was relaxing, cozy and served our needs. Close to the tube, a few grocery stores and restaurants. Cathy was great to work with and check-in was very easy. There is no lift in the building so stairs were the only way to get up. Not an inconvenience. Mind your luggage. We booked our return trip to London already and will be staying here again. Thank you Cathy.

Charming flat with amazing views from multiple rooms. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was close to the subway and a market which was great for us. Be ready to climb several flights of stairs. It is well worth it though!

Flat is bright and cheerful with everything needed including a dishwasher. The underground station is two blocks away and the busy transit center has buses to many London locations. The neighborhood is fairly noisy at night and is not within easy walking distance of top sites of interest. The five flights of stairs will keep you in shape for your sightseeing adventures. The flat was clean, but stairs and hallway were quite dirty and smelled of mildew.

The flat is very nice and cosy. It is a very good flat for short stays as tourists. The improvements I suggest are: a better clening of the kitchen, the expired food of prevoius tenants should be throwen away (I had to do it myself), non stick pans are missing.

Eine hübsche Wohnung etwas entfernt vom Trubel der Innenstadt, jedoch mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sehr gut zu erreichen. Sauber und ordentlich, alles Notwendige ist verfügbar. Empfehlenswert für Familien, Freunde und Paare. Vielen Dank! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen.

The location and convenience of this apartment is excellent, and helped to make our London vacation very special. It is located minutes from the Tube Station (Northern Line) but also close to neighborhood stores and coffee shops that enabled us to easily get around as well as find the necessities for our meals and snacks. Cathy was very interactive and responsive throughout the whole rental process. She reached out to us right away, and continued to provide helpful information all the way through our trip. As noted, this apartment does have a number of stairs. This was not a problem for us and we rather liked having the view and upper level unit. However you need to be prepared for this, mainly with your luggage. The only suggestion that I would make is the staircase (common area) is getting a bit run-down and could use some upgrading. This is not a reflection of the apartment itself which is in very good condition with nice upgrades throughout. But this would be a nice improvement to the overall experience, but also recognize, not an easy improvement to be made by the owner. Overall we were very happy and satisfied with our choice.

Pros- good location, great views, easy access to underground and other amenities. Cons- no lift, flat located on fifth floor with 93 steps. A real challenge. No blinds on south window exposures, bedroom and kitchen.Conclusion -all in all a good solid rental.

Arune was very helpful, and everything went as smoothly as could be expected. Great experience!

We loved our stay at this apartment. The convenience of having a major tube station just a two minute walk away was amazing, we could get anywhere in central London in just 20 minutes! The apartment itself had everything that we could've asked for, from an ironing board to extra food in the cupboards. Cathy was incredibly helpful when we were settling in, more than we expected for a Christmas arrival. Overall, we'd highly recommend this property! We know where we are going to stay on our next trip to London!

I chose this property because of the amazing views and the many positive reviews it had received in the past. We were not disappointed. The new owner honored the previous booking details and was very easy to work with and had great communication. The apartment is exactly as pictured, very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The view is wonderful and perfect to sit at the table and have coffee in the morning. The neighborhood is great, not touristy which we love. It is so close to the tube station and links to anywhere we needed to go in London. There are several restaurants in the neighborhood, and groceries nearby, it has everything you need right there. It is in the city, there is some street noise which we're not used to and bring ear plugs when we travel. The apartment building occupants are very quiet. It is a 5th floor walk up as advertised, so pack accordingly. We had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future!

The location was great! We bought a travel card and easily explored all of London from our very close subway station.  The apartment with its many stairs had the most amazing view. It was great making a coffee in the well equipped kitchen each morning and looking out over the city. The apartment was quiet, with lovely bedding and two very comfortable mattresses.  There were a couple of small supermarkets nearby and some restaurants. We made many meals at the apartment and always had what we needed to cook a great meal.  This was our first experience using home away and it was a great one. Our girls will fondly remember their first stay in London and the place we called home.

This was our first rental using VRBO and we were advised to find a property with great reviews of the property and landlord. The property was sold just before our vacation and the new landlord (Cathy) was extremely flexible in honoring all the arrangements from the previous owner (Lynn). Having completed our week long rental at the Mary Poppins Penthouse, we were not disappointed. Our two boys, ages 15 and 18, had their own space/room and we had ours. The flat was as advertised on the website and met all of our functional needs. The property manager met us at the door and gave us an overview of the flat, and also stocked the flat with fresh fruit, milk, cheese, and snacks for us. We highly recommend staying at this property, which is less than 2 blocks away from the Tube with a market just across the street.
