Photos and Description of this London holiday apartment 2 bedroom 1 bathroom

Uniquely positioned in the ‘heart’ of Covent Garden and London’s main theatre and entertainment district, Shelton Street is only 2 minutes walk from Covent Garden market with its famous Victorian architecture and vibrant mix of craft stalls, boutique shops and street entertainment and of course the Royal Opera House. For Jazz fans Ronnie Scott’s Club and the Spice of Life pub are within strolling distance. As Artists ourselves we can direct you to all the latest live music events (including our own!). Covent Garden Underground Station (Piccadilly line direct from/to Heathrow Airport) is within a short walk from the apartment (approx. 3 minutes). There are so many restaurants (Carluccio’s, The Ivy to name two), famous theatres and bars close by that we can’t name them all here! In fact, there is so much to see on-foot, within your immediate vicinity, you won’t need to use the Underground at all if you choose not to!

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in London, United Kingdom

If you do want to travel further afield there are a number of Underground stations close by, taking you to for example, London’s premier shopping streets, Oxford Street, Knightsbridge and Kensington, or to visit St. James Park and Buckingham Palace. Also within easy walking distance is Piccadilly Circus, the River Thames and its South Bank attractions, Trafalgar Square and 10 Downing Street. For a day trip further afield, Charing Cross Mainline Station, is within easy walking distance and will take you to the South coast of England in under 2 hours.

The apartment itself is within a small development of recently built apartments constructed within a small, traditional Victorian warehouse building, which retains a wealth of traditional, architectural character and benefits from modern easy-to-clean facilities such as wide oak flooring and the latest kitchen and bathroom designs. Appliances include: washer/drier; microwave; hob; oven and fridge-freezer. Being located in a quiet street behind Long Acre, (one of the main shopping streets in Covent Garden), means you can keep popping back home to drop off your shopping, or before going out to the theatre in the evening, to put your feet-up and have a cup of tea!

The apartment interior and furnishings are new and contemporary in design and furnishings, with multi-channel television, DVD/video player and Hi Fi available for your entertainment (with a selection of CDs, DVDs and videos). Sleeping arrangements (for up to six adults) include two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one a zip & link super king size bed, which can be easily transformed into twin beds (ideal for children). There is further accommodation on a double sofa-bed in the living room. All linen is included. Tesco Metro and Marks and Spencer are both within 2 minutes walk for grocery supplies. China crockery cooking utensils, bed linen and towels are all provided. If you are looking for the perfect mixture of location and facilities, our apartment is the ideal.

Superb location + friendly owners = great vacation

efoto San Francisco, California
Review Submitted: May 22, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
It's a one year anniversary since three of us rented this nice, clean and cozy apartment. It looked exactly as pictured. It had a feeling of a freshly remodeled place and we liked it a lot.

Our eight year old enjoyed her own bedroom just to herself and needless to say we enjoyed this fact too.

We arrived rather late at night. Alison was extremely friendly and helpful. She stayed for quite a while to show us around. Five days later Alison and Don helped us to catch a cab back to the airport. Openness and friendliness of the owners deserves a special praise. You rock!

I can not add much to the location as it speaks for itself, being within a walking distance of nearly everything. The rest is easily accessible though a convenient Piccadilly line. Do not miss Belgo Centraal next door -- look it up now. The mussels and beer was fantastic.

I'd not hesitate for a moment to recommend this place to a friend. In fact this is exactly what we did on a number of occasions. Nor will we hesitate to rent it again.

We had a wonderful time staying in this clean, welcoming apartment. It was truly home from home and the central location made it ideal for a visit to London. We could walk anywhere and with two teenagers it was a true blessing to have some private space. The welcoming Christmas mince pies were a wonderful gesture and was very much appreciated. It is ideal for up to 4 persons. Thank you again!

This was a wonderful apartment and provided an ideal way for us to enjoy the very best of London. My husband and I stayed here with our two adult sons for 8 days in October, 2008. The apartment was clean and beautifully appointed - it felt like a high-end hotel. The kitchen and bath were quite modern and the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. There was plenty of room for all of us to relax and enjoy after a long day of sightseeing. The apartment is in a perfect location. It's a short walk to the shopping and excitement of Covent Garden - we loved watching the street buskers! The tube is only a few steps away, which made it very easy to get around. Even better, the apartment is right in the heart of the theatre district. We bought half-price tickets every morning and walked to the show every night. I would definitely recommend this apartment!

Review Submitted: December 5, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
We enjoyed your apartment immensely. It is in a
perfect location, two short blocks from the Covent
Garden tube station, and within easy walking
distance of Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, St
Paul's Cathedral, and the Tate Modern, all of which
we visited. The apartment itself was brand new,
quiet, and secure. The open-plan kitchen/dining/
living area was spacious and well-equipped, with a
large refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and washer/
dryer. Our son and his wife also stayed with us for a
few days, and there was plenty of room for the four
of us. A sofa bed in the living room provides
additional sleeping space. Several historic pubs
were steps away. Nearby, M&S and Tesco's provided
hearty takeaway meals, and London's best cheese
shop, Neals Yard Dairy, was also just a few minutes
away in the Seven Dials shopping area.

Covent garden apartment

Elfinn Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: November 28, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Fantastic location!!! - absolutely the best place to be for a short visit to London: we walked everywhere. Marks & Spencers just around the corner for all the foodstuffs you might want & more. A minute from the tube station.
Flat was spotless and extremely comfortable (great beds!).
Couldn't open the windows because of the noise from the construction opposite which made it hot & sticky in August. (of course, construction's temporary & will probably have finished by now - street noise was minimal otherwise) Table fans in the bedrooms helped; would be useful to have one for the living room too.
Perfect size for 4 - found it a bit cramped for 5- even though there were beds for all of us, there wasn't room round the dining table for us all.
Alison was there when we arrived and spent time showing us how everything worked in the well equipped kitchen. Up to date copy of Time Out magazine and lots of maps, including a London A-Z streetfinder - invaluable! Little touches like this and the basic foods in the fridge made us feel very welcome. We'd definitely recommend the flat and hope to rent it again.
