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

More Space for less ......: Our rates are much better than those of local hotels plus you have the added bonus of a kitchen, balcony, free laundry and much more space! Click on more details to see a floorplan. For Groups, Friends and large Families we can sometimes secure additional apartments in the building (which are identical in floorplans/size, etc) to make a 4-Bedroom, 6-Bedroom or 8-Bedroom facility. Please state your requirements - but try to book early, as these are rarely available!

Where Exactly are you located???: Centre Point! Many advertisers on this site use the term 'Central London', yet for the unwary they are NOT! Some of them are at least an hour (some nearer two hours!) train ride into what is truly the centre of London. These apartments are beside the landmark Centre Point Tower at the top of Charing Cross Road. The Charing Cross stone outside the station is the point where all distances in UK are measured from, so you can say we are not exaggerating about the location. With every enquiry we automatically send you our full address plus a streetmap link - just click on this to see the EXACT location and aerial photograph, or look up postal code WC2H 8LW on GOOGLE maps.

How Noisy Are The Apartments?: The apartment is in a semi high-rise which OVERLOOKS but is SET BACK FROM the junctions of Oxford Street + Charing Cross Road, on the small St Giles High Street. All rooms have secondary glazing so noise is not a big issue (secondary is BETTER than double glazing - it is a whole additional sliding panel). Clients who have viewed the apartment in person (banks, blue-chip companies, theatres always do this for longer stays) are often very SURPRISED at how QUIET this unit is for such a GREAT, CENTRAL LOCATION and we would not have had the CLIENT LIST above or the REPEAT business if this flat were too noisy. One example: for 6 years DEUTSCHEBANK booked in graduates who need a quiet place to study and work hard on training modules - they would not do so if the unit was in any way unsuitable, or if feedback from the graduates was negative. Guest: 'Your place is a find! Stayed at nearby St Giles Hotel room doors slammed all night long - got no sleep

Other Activities: 6x Pools/Gym/Fitness Centres from 2 to 8 mins walk: Central YMCA; Oasis Sports Centre, Soho Gyms; CentrePoint; Canons Health Club; Jubille Hall

St Giles High Street at Tottenham Court Tube

AntiqueDealer Massachusetts, USA
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This place is terrific. I go to London 3-4 times a year, but on this trip my wife was going for the first time, so we wanted a big convenient place to stay. My wife loved it, and she's hard to please when it comes to accommodations. The 2BR apartment was huge, with one king bed (actually two joined twins), and another bedroom with two twins. Perfect for family with kids. Two bathrooms (second with toilet/sink) on same floor between bedrooms. Plenty of closet/storage space. Very clean. Large BR has small TV that only gets 4 channels. No TV in smaller (twin) BR.

First floor has full kitchen with everything provided, large living room with dining area. Big TV gets about 75+ channels. My wife goes to bed early and is sensitive to noise, but she couldn't hear a thing when I stayed up with the TV on downstairs. Balcony is very nice, but there is considerable construction all around the area (Sept 2009) which will probably last for the next two years, so it can be noisy. However all rooms have double sets of windows (including sliding door to balcony), which when closed eliminate virtually all noise at any time of day or night.

Secure building with push button access codes and good elevators.

Excellent location, a two minute (block and a half) walk to Tottenham Court Road tube station, at intersection of Central and Northern Lines, at the east end of Oxford Street shopping district. If you want to shop Oxford St you should just take the tube to Marble Arch (1 mile), Bond St (2/3 mile) or Oxford Circus (1/3 mile) and walk a straight line back to the apartments. Of course many surface busses run the full length of Oxford St.

Leicester Square theatre/restaurant district is a 5-7 minute walk south on Charing Cross Rd. Loads of book stores on Charing Cross, as well as a couple of internet cafes that charge only one pound ($1.65) an hour. Keep walking another 5 minutes to Trafalgar Square. HINT: If you want to get on the Piccadilly Line of the Underground, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to Leicester Sq station, rather than taking the Northern Line to Leicester and then changing trains. From Leicester Sq it's only another 5 minute walk westerly to Piccadilly Circus.

Several currency exchange places on Oxford within a few blocks to the west, and they give the best rates in town. Large Sainsbury supermarket is a couple hundred yards up Tottenham Court Rd. Use apartment kitchen to save many hundreds of dollars.

A great place to stay.

We're Pleased and Will Return

Montrealinsuranceguy Montreal Quebec Canada
Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This property provides everything listed in the description and more! Located in the heart of Central London we were able to walk to all of the major attractions from the condo.
The property is very clean and well maintained. Simon was helpful in every regard. The WIFI worked throughout our visit without problem. Having paid 30 pounds for wifi access at a hotel near the airport, this was a nice touch. The kitchen is well equipped and has new modern appliances. (the split dishwasher allowed us to run smaller loads daily) The laundry facilities were handy to the apartment and the room was VERY clean and proper. We were provided all the supplies you could need for cleaning including dishwasher,clothes and dish detergents In spite of the construction going on in the vicinity of the property, we were not disturbed by noise. Situated one minute from the Tottenham Court Road Tube station you have access to all of London quickly. We purchased weekly passes for the Tube (25 pounds per adult) and purchased non-peak daily passes for our daughter at 1 pound per day. We admit to some trepidation about renting this condo having read the comments from the disgruntled guest. Frankly, we don't understand their comments. Simon was helpful in suggesting local restaurants and was available to solve any problem we had (none). If you are looking for nice, clean accomodations where you can walk to the grocery store for groceries and have shopping outside your door along with 10 theatres within a 10 minute walk this is the place for you. If you are looking for a quiet, serene setting...don't be going to central London! Our family had a marvellous week in the condo. We will unreservedly recommend this property to friends and family who are traveling to London and are looking for affordable excellent accomodations.

This place is great!

RS2009 Birmingham, Alabama, USA
Review Submitted: April 16, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This apartment absolutely made our stay in London a great vacation. The location is great with easy access to everything either by walking or tube. Plenty of room for us in the apartment (2 couples). Si was easy to deal with and helpful. This is so much better than staying in a hotel and the cost is less than many London hotels! If you want a pleasant stay in London and a place to relax along with a great location, rent this apartment!

Worried renter seeks to cancel but glad we didn't!

Andi & Ian Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: January 28, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family booked a Christmas stay before seeing all the guest reviews. I was VERY worried what I’d find on arrival especially as I was hosting a festive dinner party. We were into the 60-day no cancellation period but I phoned the company for reassurance, or to see if I could possibly cancel after what I read. I was told we were going in the exact same unit the reviewer had stayed - all alternatives were fully booked for Christmas. However the Agent spent over an hour covering the points raised, was neither rude nor unprofessional (quite the opposite) and handled my call with the best customer service I’ve had all year! This included an unconditional offer – if we didn’t like the unit on arrival we could leave without paying a dime! Nothing was charged to our credit card beforehand. On arrival the agent let us in VERY early (before 8am) and I inspected the apartment ... I have to say it was delightful and totally as advertised, though better than photographed, with newer furniture/soft furnishings/TV, etc. Throughout the stay: NOISE: some construction noise as the area is receiving a major facelift (all for the good if you are coming in future); LAUNDRY: 1 washer out of order but we had access to 3 working washers and 4 dryers free of charge, and free detergent! COOKING PANS: kitchen had more than a standard holiday rental in terms of pots, pans, utensils. Agent further assured me we would be recompensed if we needed to buy any extras; DINING FURNITURE: no shortages of furniture - easily got 6 people round the dining table - more by using furniture borrowed from other rooms; The WIFI offered 4 alternative broadband connections if any failed. Ours worked the whole 2 weeks - the kids were happy they could stay in touch with friends back home. CREDIT CARD CHARGES: we knew in advance there were handling fees - this was all explained before we booked. We prefer to pay by card, and this apartment is very good value for its location, so had no issue with the total amount paid. Street GARBAGE – not noticeable when we stayed. NEIGHBOURHOOD: anyone who looks up the postcode (as we did before we booked) can see this is a superb location. In 2 weeks we didn’t even see the tattoo parlour the mentioned in a previous review! All my worry and sleepless nights before we got to London were unnecessary, as the flat is better in reality than online. Service was faultless, so we left the agent a bottle of champagne. If you have any concerns – phone them!

Holiday Escape

Mamsnurse Wiesbaden, Germany
Review Submitted: January 14, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Location is everything, along with convenience. This flat offered this and more. Factual details reflected exactly what you got in the discription. Actually, the pictures appeared brighter and newer. The flat was somewhat worn and used, but was still comfortable. I prefer cleanliness close to Godliness and cleaned more for my likening. The supplies are there to use which was an added plus. Every supply you needed was available. Si met us and went over everything with us. All details covered in full. We had our week planned with lots of activities and the tube outside the door offered quick transit. Be sure to purchase your OYSTER Card for tube use...great savings.The flat provide detailed books and pamphlets to plan from if needed. There is every imangiable Ethic restaraunt available in walking distance. My family can't say enough about the location. The only downside would be if you aren't a city person; the noise and congestion of construction surrounds you and doesn't make for a quiet stay. We all love the thrill and excitement of city life, it is pulsating around you always. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed the lights and activities out on the streets. We were there over the Christmas break and even though there were three days of downtime in London 24, 25, 26. We were still able to book in theater, dinners, Fat Bike Tour, and walking tours on those days. If you love theater this is your spot!!! Every where you look there is one close by. The British Museum is so close and FREE. We love the Pub Grub. Our whole experience wa perfect. The flat offered a comfortable place to recharge. We ate breakfast and hit the streets, returning to our place to sit and relax. I have already given the information to four other couples that want to travel there this Spring. Thank you Si ( I would have given this a 5 if it was sparkling new...) Narrow stairs make it hard for disabilities
