Welcome to London Perfect, a trusted provider of fine London vacation rentals in the most sought-after neighborhoods. With over 20 years in the vacation rental market, our team is passionate about helping guests enjoy the London vacation of a lifetime!
London Perfect was founded by Maddy over 25 years ago, inspired by her family's years living in London and the belief that travelers could experience the city more fully by staying in a beautiful home rather than a hotel. From the beginning, her vision was to create vacation rentals with thoughtful amenities, elegant décor and the insider knowledge that makes a stay truly local.
The company was born from the Byrne sisters' love of travel. Growing up in a large U.S. Air Force family with frequent overseas moves, they learned early on how to embrace new cultures and make every place feel like home. Maddy first brought that vision to Paris, founding Paris Perfect, before expanding it to London with the creation of London Perfect. Our properties are each hand-picked in the most charming neighborhoods, such as Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill, where guests can experience London living at its best.
This inspired her sisters Lisa and Pat to start Italy Perfect, adding their own experience and love of Italian culture to the family business. Together they united their sister companies to create Vacation Perfect, built on a lifelong passion for travel and hospitality and now offering guests the chance to experience three of Europe's most beautiful destinations.
Alongside our founders is an exceptional team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade. Their expertise, dedication and love for sharing Europe with travelers are at the heart of everything we do!
Chief Visionary, Serial Entrepreneur, Trailblazer
Born in Antigo, Wisconsin
A former investment banker with a Stanford MBA, Madelyn founded London Perfect 25 years ago. For her, no challenge is insurmountable, whether remodeling a centuries-old hotel or cramming an overweight carry-on into the overhead compartment. As the indomitable creative force behind Vacation Perfect, she leads our real estate development and has remodeled more than 15 London apartments, transforming them into welcoming homes that combine comfort, character and modern style for our guests. On Saturdays, you'll often find her browsing Portobello Road in search of quirky or whimsical antiques. Travel tip: "In case of emergency, always pack a bar of chocolate."
General Manager, Yin to Madelyn's Yang, Brings Order to Chaos
Born in Naples, Italy
As General Manager of Vacation Perfect, Lisa oversees Marketing, Reservations, Fractional Sales, Finance and Technology. Before launching Italy Perfect in 2003, Lisa was a Director at Apple Computer, heading up Apple Corporate Public Relations and Worldwide Employee Communications. That intense experience prepped her for the fast pace of the ever-evolving vacation rental industry. She is the youngest of the six (yes, six) Byrne sisters, so learned at an early age how to cajole her big sisters into doing stuff for her, which helps her corral the energy of the management team. Her daughter moved to London several years ago and has no plans to leave, which means Lisa loves every opportunity to spend time in the city. Favorite restaurant: La Reggia degli Etruschi in Fiesole, Italy. Obsession: Trying to get Madelyn to color within the lines.
Loves Guest's Unique Stories, Finds Strange & Wonderful Historical Fascinations
Born on Luzon, Philippines
A technology marketing executive by background and a history geek at heart, Pat is the brains behind setting up systems and processes to automate tasks and organize information. Lisa persuaded Pat to leave high tech behind in 2006 to join Italy Perfect. Vacation Perfect gives her so much satisfaction: learning about guest interests and travels; going the extra step to make things work for her clients; explaining to an owner a requirement that seems very strange to Italians; chattering in her second language; and traveling around Italy on inspection adventures. Pat pursues fascinating back alleys of history with interests in topics like Etruscans and Mithras. She has tracked down and seen every Caravaggio painting and every obelisk in Rome. Newest hobby: paleoanthropology.
