About this apartment rental
Lovely light and bright three bedroom in a period ex-local authority red brick mansion block close to ALL the attractions on the London Eye, Old Vic, Tate Modern, Covent Garden and much more.
The Space
We take great pride in our place, and have recently spent lots of time, energy and money refreshing the decor and amenities to make it is somewhere we would personally want to stay. There is an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage, with nice period features and a warm, welcoming feel. Three generously-sized bedrooms are decorated in calming neutral colours and nice new carpets, with a double bed and good hanging space for clothes. The bathroom has a large shower and sink the toilet is in a separate room across the hallway. The living room has lovely bold palm wallpaper, a small table and chairs for four to eat, and a TV with Netflix subscribed. Good fast WIFI. The kitchen is small but nicely laid out, with a gas cooker, Bosch washer-dryer and dishwasher.
The Location
The real highlight of this place is the location which is, quite frankly, amazing and the main reason we chose to live in the flat originally. It is 30 seconds to Waterloo, with access to literally anywhere by bus, train and Underground. Better still though is where you can WALK to, it is 5 minutes to the South Bank (Tate Modern, County Hall, London Eye, BFI, Festival Hall etc) And within 20 minutes you can be anywhere from Covent Garden to Borough Market, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben to London Bridge. Closer still, we’re talking one minute here, you have Lower Marsh Market with international street food vendors almost every day, The Old Vic, The Young Vic and much more. Did we mention we love the area?
The Building
The building is an ex-local authority/council red brick mansion block, it’s not a tower block or anything like that, It’s actually one of the first and best built examples of this kind of building in London but its a bit scruffy on the outside. This doesn’t affect your stay at all, it’s very safe and actually very quiet in the evenings for somewhere so central, with many families living in the apartments around. But we mention it in case for some reason how a building looks on the outside is super important to you.
Hosting
We work with our friend Hannah to manage chats and greet people, she's local and knows the area at least as well as we do, so one of us will always have the answer you need.
If you’d like to check in after 7pm, we charge £20 per hour after this to cover waiting time and travel charges.
If you’d like to check in early, we charge £75 to block off the night before and then you can arrive anytime on day of arrival.

The flat is in Waterloo, very central and very close to many train and tube stations - Lambeth North, Waterloo, Waterloo East and Southwark. Easy to walk to many places south of the river and you get a nice view of the London Eye. The flat is up 3 flight of stairs with no lift. The flat itself is decent, enough for 4 adults and 2 children but there is only 1 separate toilet room and 1 shower although this shower is very large. The place could do with a bit of improvements e.g. fixing minor broken items and repainting or replacing the carpet but overall was a great stay. We wanted a flat so we could stay together and have the full flat to use rather than confined in hotel rooms. The kitchen is very well-equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, washing powder, washing up liquid, coffee, tea, sugar, cutlery, plates, hob, oven and fridge freezer. The living room is not huge but was fine for the family. They had a 3 seater sofa and 2 chairs at the side with a dining table with 4 chairs and smart TV. The bedrooms had double beds and plenty of room but not many facilities for storage of belongings. The luggage rack was a nice touch though. Overall, the stay was great, location was brilliant. The children had a great time. Neighbourhood was very accessible and had plenty of options for restaurants and shops. Communication with the host was clear and prompt. The rooms were tidy but could do with a bit more cleaning.

We found the apartment just as advertised and explained in communication. We were met by cleaning person who showed us around. Our host was quick to respond to inquiries. Kitchen was fully equipped. Nice to have coffee every morning and a quick fix for snacks at night. Plenty of food shopping options nearby. We slept 5 adults/teens comfortably. Quick trip to Waterloo Station, Eye, Tate Modern!
