Wonderful stay
My wife and I just completed an 8-night stay. The flat (apartment) was small but comparable to a hotel room. The location was highly convenient to public transportation, with the tube (subway/underground) being a 5-minute walk. There were several bus routes within one block of the unit. Most of the tourist areas were a 15-25 minute ride away. An excellent Italian restaurant (Caraffini) and food market (Sloane Food & Wine) were on the ground floor. The property manager was prompt in his responses. The building was quiet, and we saw only two other residents during our stay. I would stay here again. However, I would not recommend the following: (1) More than two people. (2) People who have claustrophobia. The unit is on the 4th floor, and the elevators are tiny. (3) People with mobility issues. The shower is exceptionally high and could be a struggle for some. For most people, this is an ideal opportunity to get a reasonably priced property in a clean quiet area.

Great cozy flat , centrally located.
This was easily one of the best properties we've rented in the UK. Very close to Underground tube subway station and access to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, even a hospital urgent care clinic 2 blocks away when we needed it. Doorman was friendly and informative. There are two elevators to help get the luggage up to the flat. Michael (our host) was very quick to respond to questions and also quite helpful. The flat was clean and tidy. The washer/dryer combination and oven, microwave, TV all worked well. Be aware , the shower / bathtub combination is slightly elevated above the floor, so if you are short like us, you have to climb up into it. We had a pleasant stay and hope to return here next time we are in London.

Delightful Cheslea Sojourn
We had a terrific stay in this small space. Though not much bigger than a hotel room, the studio is well arranged with thoughtful and unusually high quality appointments, e.g., given that air-con is rare to find in U.K.residences, having two solid & powerful fans was such a relief once the temperatures and humidity shot upwards. A good hair dryer, new vacuum cleaner, and fresh sheets, pillows, cushions, and towels. Impressive premium lined curtains can make the studio restfully pitch black if needed [great for jet-lag]. Perhaps because one of us is retired, and we have two very active young grandsons, the idea of staying with more than one other adult seemed like a stretch. Indeed, before arriving, we wondered how we would manage. We did well, partly due to the large east facing windows which deliver bright light from sunrise until early afternoon, and a great atmospheric view of London rooftops all the way to the London Eye and the Shard. The colors of everything are coordinated through a neutral white/ivory/light grey to gold palette, heightening a feeling of space, as well as restful for the eyes. Two elevators are most welcome for lugging bags, while the concierge and housekeeper are delightful people, willing to help with any problem. Michael, the host, was perfect. The studio also benefits from the neighborhood right at the front door - restaurants, pub, cafe, stores seconds away. Transport plentiful. A wonderful experience all the way around: 'we'll be back.'

Fantastic Flat & Location
Cons: The room is just a bit bigger than a hotel room, it feels tight after a week with two adults and a 10 year old. The sofa bed is fairly uncomfortable and both beds squeak when you move. Pros: literally everything else! This place is fantastic! My favorite rental despite the few cons. Well-supplied, comfortable, safe, quiet, and the location… it truly can’t be beat. I would move in in a heartbeat if I could! I will be back to stay here the next time I’m in London, if I can!

Lovely pied a terre!
Nice, well equipped studio. Good location and WiFi. Property manager, Michael, was quick to respond to messages, and allowed us early check-in, since apartment was empty immediately prior to our arrival. All in all a nice base from which to explore London.

Great flat in great location
We throughly enjoyed our week at this flat. Plenty of room with a comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Great location near the tube and bus lines, and a half hour walk to Buckingham Palace. A couple of good restaurants in the same block and more a few blocks away at Sloane Square - along with specialty shops (bakery, cheese, seafood and more.

Perfect location for week in London
We loved our week-long stay here. Very close to tube station that made theatres easy to get to. The neighborhood is lovely as well with easy walk to the river and Battersea Power Station as well as great shopping and restaurants on Kings Road and around. The host was immediately responsive when we needed him to be. Check in was a breeze. The apartment is well set up for light cooking. Two great coffee shops right outside the front door.

The location was perfect. The flat was as listed, small but efficient. Communication with Michael was very easy. The bed was comfy. Lots of light coming in, which I love. I hope to be back soon.

Became a “Sloane Ranger” for 15 days.
After a very slight hiccup checking in the flat more than met our expectations. Accurately described in the VRBO listing it was compact, but well organized. The location was very convenient: within 25-30 minutes of leaving the theatre we’d be back in the flat. And the oven and microwave allowed us to not eat out for dinner once in our entire 15 night stay (although there’s several nice looking restaurants just outside the entrance, and a pub across the street). The washing machine worked very nicely (which was very nicely as we were on the road 4 weeks when we arrived in London and the drying racks more than adequately facilitated thorough drying). Michael (our host) responded almost instantaneously to any questions we had and the porter was also quite helpful. When we come to London again we will definitely look to book this ideally located, compact flat with an elevator in the building (which we always used going up, but only once [when we were leaving] going down).

Very nice!
My husband and I loved this flat. It is a studio, but very well set up and feels spacious. It has huge windows w a nice view; lots of silverware, wine glasses, everything you could want; good bed; plenty of bedding & pillows; comfy sofa to watch tv; convenient place to work; plenty of storage; bath is slightly separated from living area w several shower/hair care products. Bristol house is a short walk from the tube, the #11 bus to Covent Garden stops on the street, and the neighborhood is lovely for walking with interesting shops and restaurants nearby. We truly enjoyed our stay and will absolutely stay again. No problems at all.

Cozy apartment in an excellent location
My daughter (age 10) and I stayed in this apartment over the Thanksgiving holiday. It is small, but very cozy and had everything we needed -- a proper stove, washer, bathroom (my daughter loved the huge deep bathtub), and extra duvets and pillows for the bed. The location is excellent, in a very safe residential neighborhood 2 blocks from the Tube station. There is a lovely cafe next door (we ate there several times) and a little market a few doors down from it. Michael was prompt in answering all inquiries and the check-in process was very easy. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice apartment in good position
The apartment is clean and provided of everything for two person or a couple with a small child. My son and I stayed in very little time during the day so it was very comfortable even if the space is tiny. I would suggest taking away the coffee table which is taking space uselessly. Beds are confortable and area quiet
