What a great experience!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic apartment in Camden, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, everything about my stay was outstanding. First and foremost, the location was absolutely perfect. Situated in the heart of Camden Town, but still in a quiet area, a few steps away from Regent s canal - the walk along the canal crossing Camden lock and London Zoo is amazing - till Regents Park. It provided easy access to all the attractions to Central London, 10-15 minutes to Big Ben, and amenities the area has to offer, massive supermarket. Wide range of restaurants, bars, coffee places in the area. Moreover, the property was equipped with everything I needed for my short stay and more: well equipped kitchen, super fast internet. To be honest the pictures do not do justice, it s way better than the pics, seems like they renovated it recently. Exceptional hospitality. From the moment I booked, they were incredibly responsive and helpful, providing clear instructions for check-in and offering assistance whenever needed. They checked on me the day of after my arrival if everything was okay. Attention to detail and genuine care. Overall, great experience. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Enjoyed a month in London
We had a great time and really enjoyed the apartment. It is in a great location with respect to the tube, buses and overground as well as central London and north to Hampstead. We walked to Central London via the canal and Regents park on several occasions. We would definitely stay there again. I would say that the noise was something we had to get used to but London is a busy place. The apartment was clean and comfortable and met our needs during out month long stay.

My daughter and I stayed in this flat while she was trying to find a London apartment. It has great access to the overground and the underground is just a short walk away. We ended up extending our stay and Marco made that process very easy. The communication was also wonderful.

Great apartment, great location
This was our third stay at Marco’s Camden apartment and we are already looking forward to our next visit. The kitchen is spotless and fully stocked with place settings, silverware and cookware. The bathroom is also very clean, with a shower that has endless hot water. The bedroom has two closets, a large bureau to share and a comfortable bed. The living room sofa is great for stretching out on and the TV has one simple remote with plenty of channels. The wifi is strong throughout the apartment. Marco is a great communicator. There are several informative emails upon booking and Marco responds quickly to any questions. More emails are sent prior to arrival. Someone will meet you at checkin and give you a tour of the flat. Several hours later Marco emailed to make sure that everything was ok. Early checkin and late checkout are offered for a small fee and we took advantage of both, which worked out great with our flights. The location is tremendous. Within a block are cafes, small groceries, hair and nail salons, an excellent Italian restaurant and a train station. Within a range of 2 to 6 blocks are a large Sainsburys (grocery store), several pubs, many restaurants, shops of all kinds, access to the Regents Canal, the Camden Markets and a tube station. A little longer walk will take you to Regents Park and the London Zoo. There is some street noise during the daytime, but it wasn’t an issue for us at night. Marco’s apartment was the perfect base for our London visit with plenty to do locally and easy access to the rest of London.

Location was ideal but it was extremely loud
There was so much noise were not able to sleep the entire time we were there. We live in a city and are used to noise, but this was crazy loud. Also, people smoke downstairs a lot so the apartment constantly smelled of cigarettes. The other thing that was surprising was the shower situation; it was extremely high and there was no shower curtain or shower door. Aside from that we enjoyed our time there.

Location of Unit may not be for you
The unit is as you see on the site (except carpets need replacing) and the kitchen and bathroom are very good, but be aware location may not be what you are looking for. The location is a short walk to the tube and near The Camden Market so that is positive, but before you book be aware the unit is above a retail betting store which at a quiet moment you can hear the faint call of the occasional horse race. More important when we tried to sleep it was very noisy due to being on an intersection of a road that is very busy all hours and has a police station close by that results in sirens at various times during the night. We were there during a heat waive so windows had to be open all night to deal with the heat and the noise meant limited sleep the first few nights. If you are looking for a place that gives you some relief from a busy crowded city this would be a tough choice. Finally, this is also not your typical family VRBO and there are significant rules and when my wife was delayed in arriving the first day we had to pay a significant late check in fee. Just be aware that this is more like a corporate rental and thus no flexibility exists like we have had with so many other VRBO rentals.

Hi Robert, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve raised; we’ve been hosting for more than 4 yrs & 99% of our guests have enjoyed their stay at our flat. However, we do take seriously your comments & would like to address your concerns: “noisy due to being on an intersection of a road”: Camden is London's 4th most visited tourist area. All our guests love the area for being vibrant, energetic and busy. Background noise of any big city can be expected & it is part of it. Morever the bedroom has triple glazed window which guarantee you peaceful evenings. Total silence is easier to find in the country side. Camden is a multi- cultural area. Downstairs you can find shops, restaurants from all over the world. “police station closeby results in sirens”: It is the proximity to the police station (only 100 meters away) that makes the area extremely safe, which could be a concern in a big city. Most of our guests, particularly those coming with children feel safe in our area! “heat wave so windows had to be open all night..”: The heat wave was unusual this year & unexpected even for us Londoners! Please understand that flats in London don’t have air conditioning & you can’t expect hosts to install them for a week of heatwave. However, we have provided fans in the flat for your comfort. It was unfortunate that you had to endure this heat, but many of our guests love the London summers, which is usually a very moderate one. The temperature has already dropped to 22 degrees. “when my wife was delayed in arriving we had to pay a significant late check in fee”: We always send emails to our guests keeping them well informed in advance. We charge a very nominal amount for delays in arrival after allowing for grace period. Further, we provide personal check in to our guests unlike other rentals, where you have to pick up keys from another address. This saves you time & energy & our staff can also show you a few things around in the flat if needed. Our staff, who has multiple check ins a day, waits for you at the flat to check you in. In case of delays, they need to work double time & its a very small fee to compensate them for this. Our apartment only has good reviews and satisfied guests. We found your comments unreasonable & recommend maybe to book an apartment outside London next time.

A lovely bright apartment
We had a great stay at this apartment. It was a good size with plenty of amenities. There's a pub, convenience store and train station only a stone throw away as well as only being a 10 minute walk away from Camden lock. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in London!

Absolutely perfect!
I am extremely delinquent in this review. We stayed in the flat back in May of 2017 for a week and had a blast! The flat is located perfectly just a few blocks away from Camden Market, the Tube and donzens of great restaurants and pubs. The flat was very comfortable and relatively quiet considering it's on Camden Road. I would recommend this flat to anyone looking to great place to stay in one of the cooler parts of London.

Did not see the inside,the outside of the building looks rough.It looks like it's over a sports book
I never stayed in the property although I had it booked for 11 days. I had no problems with HomeAway,the problems I had were with the owner of the flat,Marco.Three facts about my experience 1. The flat was double booked the first night of my scheduled stay. 2. The flat was double booked the second night of my scheduled stay. 3. The price of the flat I was originally quoted changed 3 days after I had booked the flat. I was given solutions to all these problems and I agreed to these solutions,but once I finally arrived at the flat and saw the area the flat was in and that the person in the flat stated they thought they had another night in the flat I decided enough was enough.If I booked one of Marco's properties I would double and triple check all the fine print. .

Dear Bill, It is sad to observe that you have been misrepresenting/distorting the facts of your experience with us. We are a reliable, professional, hard-working team with strong work ethics. You have completely ignored our cancellation policy. Dear Bill, you cannot simply expect a full refund of your booking on your day of arrival because you're in a bad mood, exhausted...First, this is against our cancellation policy - we are flexible within reasonable limits; second, this is showing not such consideration to our housekeeping team. Here are the FACTS: 1. When you booked a couple of months prior to your arrival, we detected shortly after the booking was confirmed that our flat had been booked for the first night of your stay. This error of the system was detected well in advance of your arrival; you were offered a solution to look for a place to stay for the first night and the option of cancelling your booking with a full refund. But you chose to accept the solution. 2.The flat was not booked for the second night. This is simply a false allegation; and the price did not change as a result of your booking. We kindly offered you to drop your luggage at 10:00am, then come back a few hours later when the flat would be ready. As per our description on the website our standard check in time is 3pm, but we can accommodate earlier check in if possible. On your day of arrival there were guests leaving at 10:00am and you were well informed that you could only leave your luggage. Then you've opened a case with VRBO to get a full refund; they ruled in our our favour. Again dear Bill, we can understand someone could be in a bad mood for a myriad reasons - life can be hectic, stressful, the world is not always an easy place; however, you cannot simply expect a full refund for a booking, where conditions were met; we are a small family business; we were honest with you from the very beginning and acted with integrity, honoring the terms of our agreement. Dear Bill, you would have loved our flat if you could have stayed, as the overwhelming majority of our guests are satisfied and happy. We wish you well, Marco and team

Great location and easy access to the Undergtound
We loved this apartment. It was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the location near the Camden Town market and canals. All within walking distance and so many good food choices there. The apartment was clean and updated. The management is responsive if you need any assistance. If we make it back to London, we would definitely stay here again.

Great location.
Great location in a very hip neighborhood. When we traveled, it was extremely hot and since there is no air conditioning we had to leave the windows open at night. It is extremely loud in this neighborhood, so don't plan on getting much sleep if it's very hot. The windows do a great job of blocking out the noise, so if it cooler, it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, the flat is a advertised and Marco is very helpful!

Perfect if you want to feel like a Londoner
The apartment is very well placed, close to Camden Market and to the Camden Town underground and overground stations. I live in a suburb so it was interesting to feel the vibration of the city, to sip a coffee in the kitchen while looking at the the London buses and at people hurrying on the street. The apartment has all the modern facilities while preserving some of the Victorian scent.

Mixed Bag
We have had a long and very satisfied history of renting vacation rentals from VRBO of around 15 years. Almost always our expectations have been more than exceeded staying at many wonderful properties over the years, unfortunately however that was not the case with our stay at the Camden apartments in London. Disappointingly, the vacation was off to a poor start when no one was at the flat to meet us, despite us reconfirming the time of our arrival with the host. We had to track someone down from the rental management team to help us gain access, leaving us standing on the street for an hour waiting. Further the apartment had not been cleaned and prepared for us even though we arrived after the official check in time, even further delaying our access to the property. I tried to contact the host via email to express our disappointment with the service and received no correspondence back acknowledging my note, so overall, the experience felt anonymous and like the hosts were absent and indifferent. You can expect to stay in an apartment that looks almost exactly as shown in the pictures, and the kitchen and bathroom are very clean and well equipped. However you can not see in the photos that the carpets are quite stained and have an overall dirty feel about them. Also, the locks on the door can be quite challenging to maneuver, which is not a huge deal but I felt a bit uneasy about not being able to easily exit the apartment in case of emergency. We did however like the location, it is colourful and has a bit of an edge but is also conveniently located to transit, groceries and other amenities that made our stay enjoyable. In particular the Camden market is great fun and is a don't miss attraction.

Hi Lisa, we are sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience; we ve been hosting for more than 4 years and 99% of our guests have enjoyed their stay at our Camden flat. However we do take seriously your comments and we ll try to answer as thoroughly as possible. Our normal check-in time is at 3:00pm; you did say you would arrive at Heathrow at 10:00am so we would be expecting you at noon at the flat; then you changed your arrival time with a very short notice. We did also send you an email a week before your arrival with all the contact numbers of our housekeeping team to be called when you arrive at the airport as they are the preferred point of contact upon arrival; they have not received any call from you on your arrival day. We use an independent professional cleaning team but with the confusion regarding the arrival time it has disrupted their operations. That was very unfortunate. We did response to your emails in a timely manner and even sent our handyman Michael within a couple of hours to fix the an item in the bathroom when the usual time is 24h! As for the locks we use one of the most reliable and expensive ones to make the property as safe as possible. That is not correct to say "not being able to easily exit the apartment in case of emergency" the locks are a bit stiff when you put the key in (ie when you enter to the flat) not when you exit as you don't need a key. Overall we ve done our best to accommodate you given these rare circumstances. Hope you are well and hopefully see you soon.

Charmant appartement bien équipé dans un quartier artistique animé
L’appartement correspond tout à fait à ce que l’on observe sur les photos. Il est propre, bien aménagé et confortable. Quoique l’espace n’est pas immense, il est assez vaste pour une famille de quatre ou un couple. Nous étions deux adultes et deux adolescents et nous avions suffisamment d’espace pour s’installer. La cuisine offre l’équipement de base dont vous avez besoin et il y avait quelques condiments sur place. En soirée, l’accès à Netflix permet une belle détente en famille. Le wifi fonctionnait bien. Marco et son équipe communiquent rapidement avec vous si vous avez des questionnements ou des préoccupations en étant très courtois et professionnels. L’environnement est un peu bruyant car il est animé mais ne nous a pas empêché de profiter de notre séjour. Nous avons mis des bouchons mais les ados n’en ont en pas eu besoin. L’épicerie, les stations d’autobus et de métro, des restos et des cafés sont à proximité a pied, à moins de dix minutes de marche. L’accès au centre-ville et aux principales attractions de Londres se fait en trente minutes par le transport en commun. Le quartier est achalandé mais offre une ambiance festive et vibrante. Le Camden Market est une destination pour ceux qui aiment la découverte, côtoyer une foule bigarrée, des lieux insolites, de la bonne bouffe de rue et des commerces surprenants. Merci Marco pour notre superbe séjour !

Lovely stay in lively Camden!
I had a great stay at this cosy, wonderful flat in lively Camden! The apartment was comfortable, clean and cosy and it was exactly what I was expecting from the ad and reviews. Sometimes the street can be a bit noisy from traffic, but that was OK and didn't exceed what I expected. The neighbourhood was great and I really enjoyed the lively spirit and many restaurants etc. The location in general is also great for exploring London, and the flat was well equipped (good kitchen etc.). Overall, I enjoyed my stay very much and can recommend it happily. It suits short stays as well as longer ones (I stayed for about 3 weeks, and the place really felt like home).

Siamo stati a Londra dal 4 al 8 Agosto 2016 - con la mia Famiglia 4 persone. Abbiamo alloggiato in questo tipico appartamento londinese. Pulitissimo e perfetto per le nostre esigenze, il personale all'arrivo è stato gentilissimo e ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni necessarie. Una cucina completa di tutto. La casa è luminosa e silenziosa. Camden è un quartiere tipico e vivace la casa è logisticamente PERFETTA. Nelle immediate vicinanze (5 Min a piedi) Metropolitana e Treno, da non sottovalutare il servizio Autobus da sotto casa fino al centro passando per tutti i punti turisticci della città, lo abbiamo utilizzato sempre anche la notte per tornare a casa. C'è un supermercato vicinissimo dove poter comprare tutto. Nel quartiere il tipico Camden Market. Sicuramente ci torneremo e la consiglio. Ciao
