London Apartment Guest Reviews

Leicester

"After having lived in London for a few years, I and my two children have returned many times to visit friends and enjoy our favorite city. Usually we stay at one of the hotels on Park Lane in Mayfair, but decided this time to try London Perfect after a recommendation from a work colleague. We were intrigued by the new listing for The Leicester and so gave it a try and will never stay anywhere else again - the location is truly perfect. The flat is beautifully furnished with high end furniture throughout and is ideal for a couple, two couples, or a family of four - far more spacious and comfortable than a hotel. My kids slept wonderfully in the sofa trundle bed (amazing design), we ate in for breakfast every morning, and spent our days exploring the local shops, Hyde Park (Winter Wonderland!) and Kensington Gardens, and Christmas shopping on a Regent Street and Covent Garden. The kids loved the open space and playgrounds in private Ladbroke Square Gardens and the war memorabilia in the local Churchill Arms pub. We braved the crowds of Portobello Road and found some great Christmas gifts - they were filming the new Paddington Bear movie while we were there! From traditional fish and chips to internationally ranked cuisine at The Ledbury, from beautiful neighborhoods and private gardens to amazing shopping, I now see why Americans flock to Notting Hill. And the flat made it perfect - a special place - comfortable, elegant, the pied a terre in fashionable Notting Hill you wish you owned."

"We very much enjoyed our week-long stay at the Walton. We were met at Heathrow by a driver from Lushi and were able to go directly to the apartment even though we arrived early. Ed went over the workings of the apartment (no matter how often I travel to the UK, I always forget that the electrical outlets have switches), dropped off wonderful treats, and gave us the low-down on where the bonfire and fireworks were going to be that evening (we caught the tail end near Battersea Park). The apartment is beautifully decorated, situated in a quiet neighborhood, and a short walk to three tube stations, countless restaurants, shops, and bakeries. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. We are already repeat customers so you know we will definitely look to London Perfect for accommodations when we return."

"The house was lovely, and furnished with very interesting period pieces, yet it still felt cozy. The beds were quite comfortable, and the AC worked well. SAT TV in every bedroom! Everything we needed for our stay was there, including a well stocked kitchen, with some groceries supplied for our first day, which was a nice touch. As we had young children with us, we used the laundry facilities everyday. The neighborhood is especially good, being quiet and upscale, while close to everything. Many shops, museums, and Hyde Park within walking distance. For the size of our group, the price was equal or better to staying in a hotel, but in a homely setting with more conveniences. What really made our stay great was the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners and their niece. Check-in/Check-out was a breeze. They supplied a lot of brochures, maps, etc. in the home, as well as magazines, gave advice on transport, and brought over a bottle of wine one night to have a chat with us! : ) They even found a doctor for me as I was sick part of our stay. Thanks Bill and Kezia! Hope we get a chance to return! If you have trouble with steps, the house might not be appropriate as there are a lot. But it keeps you fit! : )"

"We had a very nice time. The Walton was lovely and we really enjoyed the neighborhood and how close it was to the bike share station. The neighbors were friendly and the area was nice and quiet at night. The kitchen was perfect and we had plenty of space. There was an electrical surge when we were there that short circuited the washer while we had clothes in it. However, the people were very prompt in coming over with the cleaning crew and figuring out how to drain the washer and remove our clothes - we really appreciated this! Everyone was very helpful and welcoming and we had a great time. We have also used you in Paris and loved our stay there! Another wonderful vacation and experience thanks to you!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very well-appointed home. Grandma, Mom, Dad and 3 young daughters (10, 6, 4yr) were accommodated with ease. There were quiet corners for everyone when they needed one. At the same time the main lounge provided a peaceful gathering place, and the large round dining table gave us another opportunity to socialize together. The terrace is also very inviting, and we wished we had spent more time there. The kitchen allows for gourmet level cooking-- very tempting with Harrods' Food Hall so close by! There is an amazing assortment of cookery and tableware, plus upscale appliances. A small but appreciated detail for those who like to sleep with open windows is the almost total lack of city noise at night. The atmosphere throughout the house is one of tasteful art and interesting furniture without being pretentious. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place to return to at the end of a busy day touring London. At the same time, the location gives excellent access to everything the city has to offer. We would heartily recommend this property."

The Walton

"The Walton was beautiful apartment that was decorated very nicely. It was a comfortable place and very quiet. There is , however, lots of steps. It is on 4 floors and it is a long way from the kitchen to the master bedroom. So, if stairs are an issue, one should re-consider. If stairs are no issue, the Walton is an outstanding apartment in a wonderful location. The tube station is about a 15-20 minute walk. Terrific restaurants in the area and near Harrods. I would recommend this to anyone for which stairs are not an issue. London Perfect did an excellent job of everything and responded to all requests promptly. I would strongly recommend London Perfect. Lushi transportation was excellent."

"Our family of four had a phenomenal week in London! The Walton could not have been more perfect! The apartment had ample space to suite the needs of our family. The girls enjoyed relaxing in the study/TV room after a long day. My husband and I enjoyed the lower level off the kitchen and the beautiful garden patio to relax and have a tea,coffee or cocktail .The apartment is very charming, comfortable and well appointed.The décor and artwork were appreciated. The kitchen was a dream. The owners provide everything you could imagine in a well stocked kitchen. We didn't prepare many meals, mainly breakfast and snacks. Loved the multiple French presses depending on how many cups desired. The Bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable. The bathrooms were also lovely and efficient. Great lighting and fantastic showers are always appreciated. The neighborhood is beautiful. Many great restaurants, darling shops and friendly people. The tube is a quick 10-15 min walk and one could be anywhere in London within a few minutes. We are so grateful we discovered London Perfect and the Walton . Our trip couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you and look forward to a return visit"

"The Walton is the perfect residence for two couples. The kitchen is beautiful and the living room is quite comfortable for relaxing at the end of the day in front of the fireplace. The neighborhood has a number of great restaurants and pubs. We especially enjoyed the Italian market around the block as well as the local wine merchant. It is a short walk to the tube. If you are interested in afternoon tea, I would recommend The Cadogan Hotel, which is also a short walk from the Walton."

"We have just returned from a 3 week stay in the UK, Paris and Dubai and without a doubt, our London Perfect experience was the best part of the trip. The Walton was beyond our expectations and made us feel as comfortable as if we were in our own home. Ed, the manager, was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend the services of this company to those contemplating a real London lifestyle and experience. The limousine service is also excellent and well priced."

"The Walton Apartment was absolutely gorgeous. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The location is perfect and centrally located to everything. The neighborhood is fantastic with so many good restaurants and bars. Walking distance to Harrods is always a plus. I would recommend it without any reservations to anyone that asks. It was simply an amazing place to stay."

"We chose this flat for our family of two parents, and three young adult children (plus a young adult nephew) because of its prime location in a safe, quiet, residential are of Kensington. We were not disappointed. First, as to the location, what could be better? We were two blocks from a bakery, three blocks from a great little coffee shop, five blocks to the tube and Herrods, and four blocks from the grocery store and several atms. We enjoyed the Indian restaurant located only about a block from the front door and spent several visits at the neighborhood pub, the Clipper, only two blocks away. Indeed, our kids would often want to head to the pub for beer in the evening. With it being so close, we were comfortable having them do that without us. The proximity to virtually everything made this an ideal rental for us. Still we were on a quiet street with very little traffic. The home itself was perfect for our family. We needed the three bedrooms which accommodated the six of us well. The three bathrooms allowed all of us get ready for the day quickly, although the water closet on the lowest level of the home is pretty small. It is challenging to get dressed in the bathroom after a shower. We enjoyed the parlor or living room assembling there before leaving for the day or leaving for meals. A spacious kitchen and eating area is located in the lowest level of the home. Honestly we did not use that much. We made coffee and tea there in the morning, we cooked a few eggs and toasted bread for breakfast. But we did not make good use of the kitchen. Still it was available, so for those inclined to have a few meals at home, it would work well. The availability of great restaurants walking distance to the flat was an important feature for us. We like seeing sites during the day, eating lightly in the morning at noon, and finding a better dining option near our temporary residence at night. The location of this Kensington flat was perfect for that."

"The Walton was an outstanding experience. The apartment was lovely, comfortable and very well equipped. The location was superb. The arrangements for our arrival and departure spot on. It had a very well equipped kitchen which we did not use very much. The information about the apartment and London was an added bonus. A guide was recommended and Vicky was super. All in all it was an excellent experience and I would definitely use them again."

"Thank you so much for a wonderful week at 'The Walton'! Our first trip to London will not be our last. Looking forward to next summer already but we are very sorry to leave. We hope you will have us back in 2013."

The Gloucester

"The Gloucester was a great apartment for our family of 3 kids (including 1 infant). The location on the garden square was beautiful and was close to all the amenities and transport one would need. The street was quiet and the apartment had cable and enough room for us all to relax, my kids loved the bunk/trundle bed! Ann was very helpful and it was great to have a contact so close by. My family and I had a wonderful visit and would definitely stay there again."
