This apartment is in a great spot. You sit literally under the BT tower and looking down Fitzroy to the west you have a perfect view of the London Eye. There are 3 different line metros within a few minute walk. Perfect for seeing London!
The Manager was quick to respond and very helpful as my stay was a last minute booking. I highly recommend staying at any of her properties.

This flat perfectly fit our needs for a weekend in London. It was in great location, near several tube stations, and had some fun local places nearby we enjoyed exploring. Liz was very prompt in communicating with us both before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

We loved staying here! The location was perfect - close to many Tube stations, easy walk to pubs and restaurants.
Getting the key and getting into the flat was very easy. Liz was great to communicate with.
The patio was a perfect place to unwind! The views are spectacular.
The size was perfect for two people. We are used to sleeping in a king size bed so we did opt to utilize the pull out couch as well.
We would definitely stay here again the next time we are in London.

The need to go to a location 4 blocks away from the address was quite inconvenient. The information on where to pick up the keys came via email while we were in flight, so we ordered our Uber to the property. My husband stood with the luggage while I walked to get the keys. If we had this information sooner, we would have had the car take us to the key location, then to the property. The flat was clean and comfortable but the hallway of the building was a bit shabby. We loved the area - very close to tube stations and easy to get around.

This is a great flat for a family with one or two kids, or possibly two couples. (Assuming one of them doesn't mind sleeping on a comfortable pull-out sofa.) The private patio offers nice views, and is fantastic for socializing if you have good weather.
Everything was just as described in the listing, Key pickup was simple and there are several nearby markets where one can obtain essentials like bread, milk, etc. The building is very secure and the flat is nice and quiet. (No street noise from traffic or bar crowds, etc.)
The owner was very helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. There was a small problem with an interior door handle which we notified her about after our check-in, and she immediately had someone come to fix it.
Lots of good neighborhood spots are within a two-minute walk: excellent Vietnamese restaurant, splendid pub, and an awesome French bakery to name a few. Many more options just a bit further down the road.
Simple, safe, and straightforward. Thank you for a wonderful stay in London.

We absolutely adored the neighborhood and were quite comfortable in Liz's quiet, clean flat. The terrace was a wonderful amenity; we enjoyed many meals al fresco! The flat itself was well laid out and full of light. A very simple setup here -- but we had everything we needed for a very pleasant weeklong stay with our 9-year-old, and Liz was a responsive and solicitous host.

The unit is on the top floor taking west sun through the windows. The unit does not have AC. My daughter is pregnant and it was miserably hot. With cooler weather it would be a nice reasonable place to stay. The host was very helpful…
5.0
We enjoyed our stay in this rental, and would gladly return to it on future trips to London. The terrace was a nice touch. The weather during our stay was a bit cool to make use of it, but the top-floor location certainly made the apartment nice and bright. The apartment and building were very quiet.
We liked the central but not touristy neighborhood, which was animated (lots of young people) but not noisy at night. Getting around on foot or via mass transit was simple. There are a goodly number of shops and restaurants close at hand.
Liz was a responsive and accessible host, and contacted us as needed to make sure everything was going well. She graciously allowed us to check in as early as possible. Her online instructions covering topics renters might need to know were very helpful.

Enjoyed 4 nights in London staying here. Great location just away from busy crowded tourist areas with excellent tube and walking access. Great communication and responsiveness from the host.

Liz's apartment is a walk to everything a tourist will love to see in London. Convenient also to a number of tube stations, some great restaurants and a buzzing local neighbourhood. Great communication, smooth check-in / check-out process. Recommend.

Stayed in Liz's beautiful flat for 6 nights during the holiday week. I wanted to be in a place where my friend and I could live like locals for a week and be close to everything we wanted to see, and this location really delivered. Though I had been to London several times, I was unfamiliar with the Fitzrovia neighborhood, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a great location -- just a few blocks north of Soho. The flat is within easy walking distance to several tube stops (Warren Street, Goodge Street, Great Portland Street) so just about every line is an option. There are amazing restaurants nearby and good grocery stores and delivery options also. Fitzrovia is walkable to the British Museum, Oxford Street shopping, Leicester Square, and the West End theaters. Liz's place is clean and very comfortable. One of us slept in the bedroom and the other on the sofa bed. There was a washer/dryer which allowed us to pack a little lighter. It's a top floor apartment, but the lift is right there and made for quick entrance and exit. It all seems very safe -- the neighborhood and the building itself. The terrace may have been the best part. We watched the NYE fireworks from there which was really great because we did not want to deal with the crowds.
Liz is an amazing host. She provides incredibly detailed instructions and information long before you arrive which made it very easy to make plans and gave us the peace of mind of knowing exactly how to get there from the airport and where to pick up keys. Liz was available to us by phone or email for the entire week and checked in to make sure everything was ok.
When I return to London, I will check availability at this location first. I would stay there again in a minute, especially if my trip is longer than a few days or if I'm planning a trip during a warmer time of year -- that terrace is an oasis in a busy city.

Fantastic location! Liz recommends good restaurants, but there are many others close by. I liked Ragam and Cafe Rio. The deck is fantastic. Even in December, tea was enjoyed on the expansive deck where the telegraph tower dominates (makes it easy to find the VRBO) and one can enjoy the view of the London Eye. Well equipped and comfortable. The instructions Liz provided to self access the unit were quite detailed, facilitating finding and entering the unit.

The property was exactly as listed. It was very clean, quiet and well located. Oxford street is about ten minutes away walking. Tube stations close by. The owner was easy to communicate with.
My problem was that the elevator did not work for half of my stay. The flat is on the 7th floor (8th by American standards). It was a hard walk, especially with luggage. I left a day early and the owner gave me a generous credit.

Very bright! Large windows and patio door brightens up the apartment even on cloudy days. The outside terrasse is awesome. The apartment is very well located, close to everything: tube station, restaurants, Soho… would rent again. Thanks Liz.

Excellent flat in excellent location, disappointing presentation. After 35 hours travel from Australia, flat had nothing- not even bin liner or toilet paper ( about quarter of a roll). After all that travel, I had to go back out to buy a bin liner and toilet paper. Most places we have stayed also have a couple of sachets of tea, coffee, sugar. Nothing here, and despite stove, not even basic salt, pepper, oil.
Not any detergent for clothes washer. So, a beautiful flat but it seems little consideration for guests.
Just a note- cold water in shower not working properly, bath plug does not plug bath, and kettle lid does not close-so no auto turn off was fine for us, but a fire hazard. Cheers

I came to London for the first time for my friend's wedding. They suggested that I stay in the Fitzrovia area for convenience and proximity to their flat. Everything was great! Perfect size for me since I planned on seeing sights in the area and not spending a lot of time at the unit Also loved the convenience to the tube stations and shops in the area to buy toiletries and what not. I was thankful to be able to check in a bit early, too!

The location was ideal for our needs, the flat is nice and well equipped. Note that in summer it can be hot as situated at the top floor. Overall very good memories

We loved the location and the unit, the terrace was large and a very fun place to watch out over the city. We saw some incredible sunsets. Kitchen was well appointed.

Transit-friendly Area with Great Sunsets
Comfy, clean, easy to access. Near multiple tube stops and Euston station. Beautiful view of the sunset from the cute patio/balcony. Lots of places nearby to walk to for all the basics and more.
The common areas are a bit iffy, but the flat itself was lovely.
Be ready for youthful energy and noise!
Clear communication from the host, though keep in mind you'll need to send your photo id beforehand! It was a last-minute ask for us, though it was helped by an offer of early check-in.
It's a tight fit for 3-4 folks, but that's to be expected for a London flat located in such a great location.

Fantastic Location, and a great place to stay
Very happy we stayed at this penthouse. The location was great, walking distance to great pubs, restaurants, shops and the underground. Comfortable beds and useful kitchen. We especially enjoyed drinking a cocktail or two on the private patio after a long day of sightseeing. Would definitely book here again and recommend to friends and family.

Homely, cozy and clean. The apartment has very good facilities and two TV sets, with fast wifi internet. One thing inconvenient was the water in the bathroom as it was difficult to control the temperature of the water, which was always too hot for comfort. However, I found a way round it: I kept the hot water running at full in the sink while using the shower—in that way, I could have a pleasant shower. I believe this is to do with the system of the whole building. I would like to commend the friendly and responsive manner of Liz. Wish her all the best.

This flat has a lovely balcony and I’m disappointed that it was too chilly to spend more than a few minutes out there. The flat is sunny, with great natural light in both rooms. The bed was comfortable, as was the sofa. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, cutlery, and particularly utensils if you want to cook. If not there are plenty of dining options, carry out and eat in, in easy walking distance.The real benefit to this flat is location. Easy walk to several tube lines, Euston, and Kings Cross, as well as museums.This was my first experience with a VRBO and everything went very smoothly. We had no trouble getting in and the landlord left very detailed instructions for the flat and the neighborhood. This is an excellent perch for tourists.

The high point of the week in this beautiful apartment was every morning on the terrace on a chaise lounge with coffee and a book. The gorgeous weather was a bonus, but I also loved that the living room was comfortable and everything worked as it should, from blackout curtains to the elevator and coffee maker. The tube stop and many good restaurants were very close. The apartment seemed a little pricier than some others, but I'm happy we spent the money!
