Notes: This apartment is on the second and third floor of a 200-year old house. If you have difficulty with stairs, it really isn't suitable as there are two flights to the entrance and a further flight to the bedrooms. Please try not to bring a car, the parking in London is awful. Public transport is excellent with underground stations and bus routes near by and of course, famous London black taxicabs are always available. You can walk to many of the major sites, shops and entertainment. There is no outside space with this property, but for children, at the end of the street there is Coram's Fields, a delightful park with swings, slides, climbing frames, sand pit, farm animals and astro-turf football pitches. This is a children only park and adults must be accompanied by a child to enter. For adults, Russell Square is a pleasant green space with a cafe, fountains and wildlife. London's royal parks, Hyde Park, St James & Regents Park provide a good respite from the pacey metropolitan life.

Bloomsbury apartment

Shoreham9596 Melbourne Australia
Review Submitted: October 15, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We recently spent 6 days at this apartment and found it excellent. It was great having a kitchen given prices in London and the supermarket is quite close. The beds were really confortable and it was a quiet retreat at the end of the day. We had our 3 children with us and found the apartment much roomier than I expected. The owners were helpful and let us stay until 2.00pm on the day we were leaving. Just be warned that there quite a lot of steps!

our first family stay in London

GOOXF Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I would definitely recommend this flat mostly because everything that was advertised was absolutely true. That means: it is well located, there are two supermarkets quite near (and near the tube stations), and it looks as nice (or even better) as shown in the photos. It was perfectly clean and well maintained. I had all the support I asked from the owner and a lot of useful information. The owner is very formal. The only disadvantage I would find is the long stairs to reach the appartment, and that maybe it is a little expensive though worth the money paid. The whole family, my husband and my 3 children (already teenagers) loved the placed and we all felt very at ease!

great apartment, peaceful location

lachlan perth, western australia
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We are a family of four (2 adults, 2 children of 10 and 12). We stayed here for the first week of our five week European tour, and used it as base to see the sights of London.

The apartment was very comfortable, very quiet and relaxing after hard days spent traipsing around the city. It has lots of space to spread out in after all the crowds.

The location is convenient - two tube stations are nearby, a shopping centre, and various restaurants and shops.

It's not the cheapest place to stay (especially with an A$ exchange rate!), but definitely worth the rate.

The owners were friendly and helpful - we really felt welcome here. We will stay here again on our next trip to the UK.

City/financial area base

KiwiAKL New Zealand
Review Submitted: October 14, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We stayed at this very pleasant clean apt for 4 nights in Sept with our 7 year old son. The apt is vey spacious and can easily sleep 5 adults. It was a 10 min walk to 3 tube stations and 10 min to a Waitrose Supermarket. It was very well provisioned with dishwsher, washing machine, kitchen utensils etc the only surprising thing was having to provide our own soap and toliet rolls - I think for this price or increasing the price to adjust it would be better to include such basic necesseties as it was along way to bring supplies from New Zealand on a Sunday with the shops shut!
All public transport is free for children 11 and younger and all public museums are now free - the British Museum is within walking distance and Tower of London only a few tube stops. Buy an Oyster card for easy of use on buses and trains. Nearby there is a playground for young children.
We ate one night at a nearby Italian Restaurant Ciao Bella that was recommended in the book, the place was full of people with piano player but the food was terrible - my risotto was with long rice and like a dry pilau not creamy. We took a 715am mini cab (the expensive one listed in the apt book) to London City Airport and it only cost 20 pounds and took 30 mins.
The owners are very helpful with any queries you may have.
A very convient base in London - would recommend to all (except those with disabilities).
Owner's Response: There is a 24 hour Tesco store opposite the local tube station at Russell Square and there is really no need to bring provisions from New Zealand to London, no matter what time you arrive. We do not provide soap and personal toiletries due to the unhappy prevalence of allergies nowadays.
