Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura B. 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Paul is an excellent host, nothing seemed to be too much trouble and his communication was second to none. Easy to follow instructions to get into the apartment, and we were greeted with a lovely bottle of red and nice chocolate on the table. Had some minor issues along the way, and Paul was able to (or taking action to) get them sorted ASAP. The apartment is in an excellent location, good nightlife if that’s your thing - not ours particularly, but meant we always felt safe walking back from the (very close) bus station even quite late at night, and is maybe 10-15 mins brisk walk from places like Tate Britain and Westminster. Supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and decent pubs all within a few minutes walk. Lovely little garden balcony looks out over Vauxhall gardens, and a bit further gives a nice view of the night skyline. Our one “negative” is that there could have been a bit more storage space, there is a set of drawers and a clothes rack in one corner, but no real space to store cases, and no space aside from the limited bench space to store non refrigerated food. But would highly recommend both Paul as host and his apartment - and we’d happily stay again if we make another trip to London. ##### Laura B.

Great place and Great Location What a nice place in a great location to see all of London. One reason, I reserved this place was because of the good reviews about Paul our Host and he did not disappoint. You can’t go wrong with this place. Great safe location, close to transportation hubs, restaurants, and popular tourist locations. Very easy to get anywhere from this location. Home and accommodations were very nice and offered a great quiet place for us to relax after a day of sight-seeing. Great views as well. We took some great nighttime photo’s, from the penthouse and plan to have the picture framed to remember the trip. When I come back to London, I am staying here. ##### Bruce M.

The location is superb being only 5 min walk to the tube and bus station as well as having quick access to the river walk along the south bank. The flat offers all amenities needed for a home away from home stay and Paul provides an amazing amount of help and information for navigating London. Be sure to also check out The Tea House Theater just over the other side of the park for great desserts in a cozy atmosphere! ##### Karen H.

The location was perfect. It is located by the Pleasure Gardens, which are nice to stroll through, and is central to the vibrant local neighborhood with various restaurant and pub options, plus nearby grocery stores. Additionally, it is a short 5-minute or less walk to the Underground and train station. This made it very convenient to travel anywhere in London. The flat was clean, cozy, and inviting, with everything you might need and more. We loved coming back to the flat to relax after a long day. We also enjoyed the terrace overlooking the park with great views of the city. Paul provided lots of information about the local area and recommendations for London. Communication was great! I would highly recommend staying at Paul’s for your trip to London. ##### Alexandra B.

The introduction information including directions, maps, manuals, etc. simplified every experience. We felt like we were coming home after each long day of being a tourist. It was comfortable, attractive, and had a breathtaking view. The owner gave us excellent suggestions regarding recommended pubs, sights, and directions. The neighborhood, Vauxhall restaurants, and park below were full of families from a wide variety of cultures. It always felt very safe. Train, buses, and the underground were only a block away. Perfect! ##### Don L. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 11 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Ants & Personality Swing of Owner The location of the property was pretty good, as advertised - easy to get to the Tube, Buses, etc. However, the apartment has an ANT issue. I have written correspondence (WhatsApp) proving that he confirmed he has problem with ants every year because of the greenery he has on his terrace. My wife even stopped watching TV on the only seating in the small living room area because she kept finding ants on her. Mind you, I was just letting him know - I NEVER asked for a refund or any form of compensation. Again, he confirmed that he's aware of the problem and asked for pictures. I sent several pictures of ants in several different locations around the kitchen and eating area. I also confirmed that we barely ate there and what snacks we occasionally ate were kept in the refrigerator and the counters were always cleaned. When he saw the pictures, he wrote back apologizing again and offering a refund on one of the days and I gladly accepted and told him that I really appreciated that. However, about 9 days after we returned home I realized that I had never received this refund he offered. When I wrote him asking if he was still sending the refund, the response I received from him was like I was speaking to an entirely different person. Now he completely denied having an ant problem, accused me of "blackmailing" him (again, I never asked for anything from him), and said VRBO would never post my review even if I posted one. Strange gentleman, indeed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy J. 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a week in London. Loved the location. Next to metro and beautiful park. Amazing skyline! Great commutation with host. He provided thorough instructions and lots of detail of things to do in London. We enjoyed our stay here. ##### Amy J.

I emphasize the good weather because there’s no clothes dryer, but warm weather does the trick fairly quickly. 2 minor things about the kitchen-the knives are very dull, so you have to be very careful using them, and the frying pan could use a lid. Still recommended- there’s a lot of great stuff within walking distance, and several bus lines operate at the tube station only moments away. ##### PAUL G W. Stayed 10 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TERESA 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was an amazing experience! Paul provided excellent communication throughout, from prior to our departure until we left to go home. The property is very nice, plenty of room for 2 people and a nice location near transportation, grocery and dining. He was available to answer questions very quickly and provided hints and suggestions for exploring London. We definitely recommend Paul as a host and his home as your home while in London. LOVED our stay! ##### TERESA ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick B. 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property near transport hub, bars/restaurants, shopping and attractions. My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights. Communication with our host, Paul, was outstanding from booking through the end of our stay and we were provided with a comprehensive arrival guide upon booking. Getting to the apartment was very easy via the tube from Heathrow and the apartment is only a 3 minute walk from Vauxhall Station.The apartment was very tidy and well appointed containing all necessary appliances and conveniences and felt cozy without feeling cramped. The kitchen was completely adequate with a four place hob, oven and everything required to cook and serve meals. The building in which the apartment is situated is controlled access and the private terrace overlooks Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and offers great cityscape views. There are dozens of restaurants within easy walking distance, as well as at least three grocery stores including a Tesco Supercenter.The proximity to Vauxhall station allows you to travel quickly around town with most major attractions less than 30 minutes away door-to-door. Tate Britain is about a 15 minute walk via the Vauxhall Bridge and a return via Lambeth Bridge allows views of the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben.Overall, this property and host are both outstanding, highly recommended. ##### Rick B.
