About this apartment rental
A charming one bedroom very clean apartment located in a Victorian Mansion, with one sitting room with a double sofa bed to accommodate a child or a guest for one night only as it is not particularly comfortable, one double room with a very comfortable double bed, a bathroom with bath and shower, a kitchen fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave and cooking facilities.
My apartment is so quiet that at times you forget that you are in the heart of London. It is tucked away on one corner of the 4th floor - 64 stairs - which makes it very bright. There are plenty of windows as you can see from the pictures. Please bear in mind that there is no lift.
It is located near a garden Square and at the back there is a lovely courtyard with no traffic access.
It is just a 4 minutes walking distance from Holborn Station or just 2 minutes away for the nearest bus stop should you wish to travel by bus. I barely use public transport as everything is walking distance. British Museum 8 mins, Covent Garden 15 mins, Trafalgar 20 mins, Oxford Street 10 mins, Soho 13 mins. Leicester Square 15 minutes.
If you are here to explore London this is the right choice.
We are also extremely close to the legal hub of London. Originally this Mansion was built to accommodate the Barristers working in London during the week who would go back to their family country home at the weekend. The block was originally built on the grounds of Gray's Inn. One of the three Inns of Court in London. The other two are Lincoln's Inn and Inner and Middle Temple.
This apartment is ideal if you wish to stay just a week or a month. I have been living here permanently for 16 years this July and I still love it.
It is ideal for a single person, for a couple and even if you have a guest for a night as there is a double sofa bed in the living room.
Even though the flat could possibly accommodate 4 adults I do not advertise it as such because if you use the living room as another bedroom it will leave only the kitchen as a communal area and the kitchen is not big enough for that.
It will be my pleasure to meet you when you arrive and when you leave and I will also always be contactable by mobile or email should you wish to speak to me during your stay or before you book or arrive.
I am afraid but no pets are permitted and no smoking in the flat nor communal areas is allowed and please be respectful towards our neighbours.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Luisa’s place. It was very comfortable, within walking distance of the British Library where I was spending a lot of time, around the corner from the tube, and just a short walk to a Waitrose market. The neighborhood was generally quiet but there were nearby pubs and restaurants for more lively action, if you prefer. Luisa is a very kind host and available to answer questions and concerns. I made myself right at home and felt very lucky to have found this place.

Communication was great. I was there during the cold snap and having access to the app to manage the temperature was so helpful. This is a much better alternative to staying in a hotel in central London.

I stayed in the flat for 7 weeks & it provided all the amenities I needed for a great stay. The flat layout was very functional & it was located on the top floor with lots of windows, light & fresh air. It's central location meant that by walking, using buses or the tube everything was easy to get to quickly & efficiently. The hosts provided ongoing communication & helpful information and also allowed flexible check in & out times. I look forward to staying here the next time I am in London.

This apartment is a real FIND. I stayed here by myself for six nights and it was everything and MORE than I could have hoped for. Truly wonderful. First of all, let’s talk location-location-location. The closest tube stop is a short walk away and the apartment is situated in a vibrant area of London. You have access to two lines on the underground and getting around town is EASY.I loved how I could easily walk to the theatre district + the British Museum, the British Library, Trafalgar Square, and the Courtauld Museum, for example. The kitchen is equipped with an excellent gas stove, but I was very taken by all the casual eateries in the neighborhood that had healthy options so I did a lot of “take away” / “take out” during my visit. What I particularly loved was that supermarkets & groceries (and an authentic French patisserie too) were all close by. The apartment has large windows that bring in a lot of light. And the quiet of the building is so welcome. The living room is very comfortable with a sofa, chair & table and wide screen TV. Every room in the apartment was so clean & neat. In the bedroom I loved the comforter on the bed (and I wish I could find one like it at home). When I arrived I was determined to use my laptop during my stay. However, I learned that I had brought the wrong electrical adapter with me. No problem! Luisa the owner put her partner Michael in charge of the issue. He went out to a store IMMEDIATELY and purchased the correct electrical adapter for me. That was a very generous gesture indeed. If I had a question at any time, Luisa the owner was available to communicate with me right away. She was so helpful to me during my stay. I HIGHLY recommend this apartment – it was terrific in every way!
