London Vacation Rental apartment

We have spent 3 days in this apartment in December 2009. It was fantastic. Hugh gave us a very warm welcome and was so nice to met him. THANKS SO MUCH HUGH&PAUL!!
It´s a beautiful character flat with a lot of personal touches that make you feel like your home (well, my home it´s not so nice decorated...).
It was spotless and has in addition everything to keep it clean, and dishwasher tablets, washing machine soap... all very useful. The kitchen is very clean and provided with all kind of utensils and tableware, and also the bedroom: soft sheets, blankets, and the matress is supercomfortable! Even though you can see Leicester Sq from it, it´s quiet and perfect to have sweet dreams. Ahh! The view: terrific!! you can see from the salon Nelson column, London Eye, London roofs and even the Big Ben!
The TV and sofa are huge for 2 persons, so I think stay in 3 it´s equally comfortable. Has Sky TV and DVD, good for entertainment.
Some budget supermarkets are 1 minute away, and the same the Piccadilly Sq, so it´s impossible to stay more centric.
I couldn´t imagine a best place to stay in London, but has a great default: so many people know all this as us, and it´s difficult to find available dates!
Thanks Hugh for for all your kindness in allowing your flat to be used by Homeaway clients, and for your sympathy.
We wait for you in Las Palmas!

My wife and I have traveled to London several dozen times for both business and pleasure, staying in flats, dorms, hotel rooms, etc.; Hugh's flat is by far the best accommodation we have found for many reasons.

The location cannot be beat, between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. We love the theatre so it was particularly good for us to be two short blocks from the TKTS booth. Everything in the West End is within walking distance and you can walk from the West End across Waterloo Bridge (a stunning place to stop and admire the whole Thames panorama) to the National Theatre on the South Bank. If you are not a walker, the tube stop is literally 3 minutes from the flat.

Hugh is an interior designer by trade and his flat reflects that in the soothing gray tones with splashes of color and in the top-of-the-line/cutting edge appliances, bedding and fixtures. Everything is both beautiful and functional; it is a study in how to do a small one-bedroom to perfection. The bathroom has heated floors and towel rack with an in-shower television!

The livingroom is a wall of windows with surely one of the most fabulous views in London, including Nelson's statue at Trafalgar Square, Parliament, the Millenium Wheel and much, much more: impressive during the day, stunning at night. It is located on the 6th floor, with double-glazed windows for absolute quiet in the midst of everything.

And finally, Hugh himself is the perfect host, helpful and totally non-intrusive, truly concerned with the well-being and comfort of his guests.
We recommend this sanctuary without reservation.
