Convenient location and comfortable flat
We enjoyed our stay in Queens Park. The ground floor flat is 5 minutes walk from coffee shops, a grocery store and the tube station which provides regular services on the Bakerloo line. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. They met us onsite to let us check in early and leave our luggage. The flat was spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again when next in London.

When we arrived, we were disappointed because the flat wasn't as clean as other flats we rented in the past - but! once called Nicole's husband, he passed immediately with the cleaners and when we came back from dinner, the flat was clean.

Quiet Flat in the Suburbs
We really enjoyed this flat. The flat had all that we needed for our short stay in London. As a bonus, the underground station was just a short walk away to get us into the City Center for exploring and taking in the sights. The host answered was prompt in answering all our questions and even offered suggestions on how to make our stay in London much more enjoyable.

London vacation with husband and two teens
Flat is on the first floor, very conveniently located to the Queen's Park stop on the subway. Trains arrive every few minutes, so you can be in Central London in 15-20 minutes depending on where you're headed. Flat was comfortable and well outfitted with bedding for the two bedrooms and the pullout couch in the front living room area. Kitchen included all the items we needed for making quick meals or heating up food. Bathroom is functional. One challenge is the lack of electrical outlets, so you may want to bring an extension cord for charging devices or blowdrying your hair. We had an issue with ants but after a text exchange with Nicole, found ant poison in the laundry cabinets. That seems to take care of the issue.

Great stay!
We had a great stay at Nicole’s flat! It was very clean and tidy and a perfect place for us as we were traveling with our adult son. The location is good, just a short walk to the Queen’s Park tube station and lots of places to eat nearby. Nicole was very helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns. We tried a couple of her suggestions for places to eat nearby: a cafe and a wonderful bakery and were very pleased!!! All in all a wonderful place and we’d definitely stay here again!

Convenient location. Good space for group.
Stayed 4 nights with family to visit London. Flat is very conveniently located close to Underground, with direct access to many of Londono’s main attractions. Easy walk to grocery store, restaurants and Portobello market. Apartment is well suited for 4 people but not more (was advertised for 6 when we booked). The Pros: - overall space - location convenience - easy communication with property manager. - Great kitchen space if you want to have meals on site. The Cons: - furnishing: sleeper sofa lacked comfort, dining room chairs were limited and in poor condition. Dining table not suited for more that 4 people. - overall cleanliness of inside and outside was below average for rental - we had to request more pillows and towels for our party (seems that other customers had to as well).

Property was a little disappointing
Property was not well hosted and what I mean by that is there was a low supply of daily essentials. Also sheets were not cleaned well. Also the property was difficult to find with poor directions from the underground causing us to miss out on our first planned activity. Bed in room was not a King size as stated. Sofa bed cheap and poorly made.

Fabulous kitchen
This was our first stay in London of which the primary purpose was to visit our son who is studying abroad. The location to his dorm was great, easy walking distance from the flat. The location of the flat to public transportation is also good, you can easily get around to any area however keep in mind it will take a good 45+ minutes on the tube to get to the main sites. Also bring earplugs, especially if you are a light sleeper. This is not a negative against the property just one of the realities and something that is better to know and plan for in advance. Nicole was very responsive before our stay and was also very responsive with check out instructions. We did have a few issues arise during our stay (power outage in bathroom, cleanliness issue, and a missing blow-dryer) and unfortunately the communication was less responsive when issues arose. The power outage issue was resolved timely, which we greatly appreciated. The other issues were not resolved. As someone with long hair, having a wet head in cold January was less than ideal. Certainly didn't ruin the stay but would have been nice to know in advance, or have it resolved during our stay. Going in with expectations of a 5 star property, we were left disappointed.
