Great location in the heart of Covent Garden

4 of 5
Submitted: January 8, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
You couldn't ask for a better location in the heart of London. About 100 yards from Covent Garden tube stop, it is a direct link to both Heathrow and several of the train stations including St Pancras and the Chunnel. Very safe neighborhood, lots of restaurants. Its a fairly touristy area but lots of action.
It is on the top floor with no lift so it isn't good for those who would find this a challenge. Great views from the upstairs office, sunroom, deck. Our daughter made up the couch, effectively making it a 3 BR (although this room would not be suitable for an adult bedroom)
The unit itself is quite nice although showing some signs of wear...nothing we couldn't work around. The shower is TINY but quite functional. Having a W/D combo and a kitchen is great....saved money by not having to eat every meal out. Try Clo Magiorre downstairs...very nice. Paul was very helpful and made us feel welcome. This is his house and he uses it when it is not rented so it feels more like a home and not so much like a rental hotel room.

Owner's Response: The flat has many amenities and, like the proverbial battleship, there is always something that needs fixing. Having been very popular in the run up to year end 2012 it has been difficult to get in between visitors without causing disruption! 2013 will see further upgrades to the decor, artwork and other amenities.

Great visit to London with a wonderful flat in the middle of it all.

We are a family with 2 teenage children. Spent 5 nights at the flat during our visit from July 4-9. Paul met us at the flat when we arrived and oriented us to the flat and the neighborhood. It was very comfortable and well furnished. The location was great and we walked everywhere. Market is only a block away and many restaurants are within 2 blocks. Highly recomemmed.

Exceptional Location, Feels like a Home Away from Home

We stayed here for spring break with our 3 teenagers. The location couldn't be better. It is in the midst of everything you could need-restaurants, pubs, shopping, theater, the opera house, live entertainment, and the Underground. Bed space is a little tight for 5 adults but it works. The beds are comfortable, bathrooms are recently remodeled, everything is clean and well decorated. The floor plan is ideal for hanging out together in the spacious living room/dining room. There is a huge dining room table that can fit the whole family. There is a computer and printer with internet access in the loft that you are free to use. Paul was wonderful to work with and welcomes you into his home. Not much to say about the 5 flights of stairs to get up to the apartment-5 flights is 5 flights. The great part about that is that you are on the top floor so there is no noise from above and no noise from the quaint street below. You can find free live entertainment in the Covent Garden Marketplace- string quartets, opera singers, jugglers, etc- downstairs outside of the Crusting Pipe Bar and Restaurant. You can enjoy a beer, a glass of wine, or a spot of tea on the patio and enjoy the show. There is also a stand downstairs in the old Marketplace where you can get a bowl of fresh paella that is delicious. We will definitely hope to stay here again on our next trip to London.

The listing for this location is described accurately. The location is excellent for shopping, restaurants, and easy accessibility to a tour bus and an easy walk to sights. The house had lots of space, wonderful kitchen, comfortable beds, and view from the terrace. We could use anything that was in the home. The owner was most helpful. We left some items behind and the owner was very accommodating in returning those to us promptly. If we had questions, they were answered promptly. We would love to come back and rent this property again. It was so nice to have a home away from home.

What an absolutely perfect location right in the very heart of Covent Garden. The Penthouse has all the facilities you could wish for and is extremely comfortable. Great beds, hot shower and excellent kitchen facilities. We had a quite wonderful 6 days here and would recommend it to all reasonably fit people. The 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment kept us away from the street noise and helped in the development of our ski legs for the next stage of our trip. If you are in London, you must go and see 'Matilda' and 'Jerusalem' is one of the finest pieces of theatre the 4 of us have ever seen, quite simply breathtaking! We will be back, the sooner the better. Paul was very easy to deal with and helped make the stay easy and enjoyable with his advice. Highly recommended as a brilliant VRBO.
