Photos and Description of the Maida Vale vacation townhome rental
Townhome, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

We looked for over a year at more than 50 residences to find the perfect London home base. Take the 15 minute express train from Heathrow Airport to Paddington Station, go one tube stop or a very short cab ride. You've arrived!

Private and Spacious Accommodations

Walk through the separate gate and front door of our Edwardian townhouse. Continue up our interior staircase. You are in a private, quiet residence. This is not an apartment complex with multiple units and anonymous hallways.

The reception room has three large windows and classic features marking the style of the late 1800's: nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, crystal chandeliers and period prints. It has a sofa bed for guests. The separate dining room, stocked with Portmeirion china, is a great place to laze. The eat-in kitchen has Bosch appliances, a washer, and a dryer. The two bedrooms, on the upper floor, are large and light. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and a convertible single bed. The second bedroom has a double and a single bed. The bathroom is vast, with a tub, shower, and bidet.

We provide wireless internet, a flat screen TV, a high-end stereo system with an ipod attachment and an assortment of guidebooks and brochures. And we take care of you with our own guide to the area,including local stores and restaurants, great walks, and easy transportation. We post this to you before you arrive. Email us with questions. We or our English property manager will get back to you promptly.

The Charming, Safe Neighborhood

Maida Vale is one of Central London's upscale neighborhoods. Our block hosts a parade of shops, with a florist, hairdresser, beauty parlor, restaurants, and delis, such as Bon Appétit, specializing in homemade croissants. Paddington Recreation Grounds is one block away. This large park has two children’s playgrounds, workout facilities, and a running track. Little Venice, with its 18th century canals, quaint pubs, and notable white Georgian architecture, is a ten minute walk.

Want to venture a bit further? Take a walk to two different, well-known antique districts and open markets -- Church Street (Marylebone) or Portabello Road (Notting Hill). Try a stroll to numerous trendy restaurant areas or check out Abbey Road, where the Beatles recorded.

Central London at Your Door Step

Our townhouse is close to two tube stations, Maida Vale and Warwick Avenue. You can get anywhere in Central London with ease. For example, Oxford Circus, London’s shopping mecca, is a ten-minute tube ride. Piccadilly Circus, the center of the theater district, is a twelve-minute ride. The Number 6 bus runs 24 hours and stops two blocks from our residence. It has the best City route – stops at Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square. You can get on and off the tubes and buses easily with a travel card. Whether you spend your days navigating the crowds on Oxford Street, touring Westminster Abbey, or awed by the Tower of London, you will welcome returning to our quiet, safe oasis.

I spent a week with my family at this lovely townhouse in Maida Vale, London.

It is very comfortable for up to 5 people and located in a very nice part of town. Near the tube.

I also commend the proprietor for the excellent condition I found it. Clean and tide.

I recommend it and hope to be back again.

Absolutely Wonderful Home Away From Home!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our family of four (two adults, 22 year old son and 18 year old daughter) thoroughly enjoyed our home away from home here. The townhouse is exactly as described---spacious, clean, charming, lovely, with lots of extra inviting touches. It is a very welcoming place to come back to at the end of a busy sightseeing day. The Maida Vale underground station is just a short walk away and very easy to connect to any line to get all around London. The croissants and sandwiches at the deli across the street were delicious, and the people in the neighborhood and shops were always so friendly. There is a small grocery store nearby and we enjoyed eating pizza at the restaurant around the corner. Fatijah left lots of information in the townhouse to make exploring London easier. Lucky us to find such a wonderful place to stay on our family's first trip to London! We look forward to returning soon.

Home away from Home!

If you are planning to spend extended time with a family in London Fatijah lovely townhouse is just the ticket. I spent 10 days there with my wife and two teenage children and we all loved it. Mada Vail will be our home away from home in London. There are great little cafes and grocery shops across the street and others clustered around the Maida Vail tube station. It is just a short walk to the tube from the house and once on the tube you can go anywhere. The washer/dryer is so nice to have and the full WiFi made life easier. Fatijah has so much tourist info available in the house that planning your days are a breeze.
The local shopkeepers were so nice and an amazing selection of fruits, vegetables, and meat. It is so nice to come to a quiet house after a day of hustle and bustle in downtown London.
This house will be where we plan to stay in the future and it is perfect for families in London.

What can we say that hasn’t already been said? From the moment we arrived we felt we’d picked the best place to stay in London! Wine lovers should not overlook the shop next to Le Cochonnet. We loved London and hope to return.

Even better than we anticipated

5 of 5

We had very high hopes for this townhouse, and our expectations were not only met, they were exceeded. From the informational packet we received before our trip, to the great ideas for things to do, to the neighborhood guide and maps included, this wonderful rental was hands down our favorite place we stayed on our tour of the UK. There are even helpful notecards around the house explaining the significance of certain items in the townhouse. The bedrooms were both very comfortable, the kitchen was roomy and up to date, all the decor was beautiful, and we were so sad to leave. The neighborhood is excellent too, and public transport is very easy to access from the location. As much fun as we had sightseeing in London, I equally value the wonderful times in the apartment and walking around the neighborhood. Hope to be back one day!

Home away from...

5 of 5
Submitted: August 22, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
You get the idea. This is the home you'd want for yourself if only you had a home away from home. I just wanted to take a little different approach from the typical review. Yes, the bedrooms, baths, living areas and kitchen are just as promised. And oh my...what a wonderful landlord Fatijah is. So all that you read is true and then some. But what people don't often mention is the wonderful neighborhood. Every day we arrived home to serenity, tree lined streets and great restaurants/groceries. After a fun-filled day of London tourist spots or country side train rides, there is absolutely nothing better than returning to Fatijah's home. We were only there a week and we should have stayed no less than two. Enjoy!

We had a really good time staying here with our
four young children. There was lots of space for us
all and the house had everything we needed. The
beds were comfortable and everywhere was
very clean. There is a second loo which is always
welcome.

Coming back with tired children after a long
days sightseeing, it was lovely to be able to get
something very good for supper just below us.

The house is full of books and guidebooks and
there are lots of personal touches around the house
such as collections of things with a note explaining
about their history.

All in all everything was lovely and I
would recommend this townhouse unreservedly.

Great Trip

We stayed in the townhouse from Dec. 19, 2009 - Jan 2, 2010. The house was beautifully appointed and in a great neighborhood. The tube was close as were all conveniences. The local butcher got us a fresh Turkey for Christmas dinner and we enjoyed great coffee every morning from the little cafe across the street. On nights we stayed out too late - the pizza shop downstairs made excellent pizzas - goat cheese and roasted vegetables was the best. I would highly recommend staying in this home. We hope to be able to come back again.

We LOVED our time here. It was the perfect blend
of a vacation get-away while also a nice home in
which we felt like we truly belonged there. And
that's how we spent most of our time: not so much
as tourists, but as wanna-be locals. The central
location is key and it's also in a nice neighborhood
close to a couple little downtown areas and an
amazing park.

The layout of the home is very spacious--we didn't
even use every room--but still very cozy. We made
a couple of big dinners, with the windows open to
the street, and took our time cooking different
items from local markets. The bed was very
comfortable and was some great sleeping. And the
couple of lazy mornings spent reading there were
very enjoyable.
