I can't imagine a better place to stay in London, and the price is less than many very average hotels. Both the beautiful apartment and the lovely neighborhood made us feel like privileged Londoners. Wherever we walked in "our neighborhood," we encountered history, culture, good food and drink, and tempting park benches.

| This was the perfect accommodation for our family on our first trip abroad with our two boys, aged 11 and 13. The flat was quite comfortable and well equipped for all our needs, and the location couldn't have been better. Having the large Waitrose grocery store so close made it easy for us to pick up food and drinks in the morning for our daily trips out and about. Having the tube just around the corner made returning home in the late afternoon a breeze, and the loads of great restaurants within 5 to 15 minutes' walk meant that dinner was easy and convenient. And knowing how messy boys can be sometimes, it was good that a washing machine was close at hand had we needed it. Judith was full of great information leading up to our trip, and the book in the flat was also quite helpful. And Antonia (Judith's daughter who looks after the flat) was very quick to respond when we needed help with anything. We will highly recommend this flat to friends and family, and hope we'll be able to use it again on a future trip! |

| What a wonderful place to stay; quiet, but convenient. The apartment was very spacious, the private washer/dryer was a big help, and the bed and chairs very comfortable. Lots of good tips in the notebook in the apartment. All-in-all a great find, and we look forward to renting it again when we return to London. |

| Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Flat is very clean, modern and homey. Perfect location - close enough to walk to two tube stops, shopping center, British Museum & Library, and Wagamama! Whenever wife and I make it back to London, we will definitely try to stay here again. |

| My husband and I were absolutely delighted with everything about the flat. It's charming, comfortable, well-equipped, centrally located and a very lovely place to spend time. We feel fortunate to have tumbled upon it. I hope this was the first of many happy returns as long as our daughter is in London. |

This flat was in a perfect location. Close to the tube
and the Brunswick shopping center with
restaurants, and a great market. After exploring
London all day we walked through the center and
stopped at the market
for items we needed for the next day. The pictures
on vrbo were accurate and the bed was very
comfortable. We appreciated the manual in the flat
with great suggestions for restaurants,etc. We loved
the Acorn restaurant.
We are happy we chose this flat and would stay
again in the future. |

| Great place. Close to the City for business and Soho and Covent Garden for fun. The apartment was clean, efficient, comfortable. Everything worked great. Terrific grocery store across the street in Brunswick Center. Great pubs nearby in Lambs Conduit and Russell Square. I was there on business by myself, but I would definitely bring my family back to this apartment. |

We stayed in this flat September 2-9, 2007. It was our first time to London and we loved this flat. It is beautiful, great location and made our time in London more fun knowing we were coming back to this flat at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We began to think of this as 'our' flat in London! :)
There are plenty of inexpensive, good places to eat nearby. Between those places to eat and eating in the flat, we saved quite a bit on our budget.
The owner is wonderful to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
Thanks Judith for such a wonderful place!! |

| Had a wonderful week at Handel St at the end of August. The description is perfect & I can only add that the location is quiet yet close to every needed facility. Across the road is a Medical Center that is only used by day so the living room is not overlooked from across the street. Will certainly stay there again. The owners are charming including their daughter who manages the flat in their absence. The Damage Deposit was returned promptly. Excellent choice for a London Flat. |

| Stayed at the apartment for a week with my family of four. Plenty of room for all of us. Great location on a quiet street and only 1 block to a supermarket and shopping center. Very convenient to transportation (tube or bus) and centrally located. And the owners are absolutely wonderful. Would definitely stay there again. |

| My mother and I stayed at the flat for one week in April, 2007. It was very conveniently located. We were able to take the tube to and from the airport. There are many nearby shops and restaurants. The bed and sofabed were both very comfortable. Nearby is the British Library where you can pick up a good read. We would definitely go back. |

Fantastic just doesn't seem quite good enough to describe this lovely flat! We recently stayed here mid-February 2007 for a theatre week and I can't imagine anything more perfect.
Location was impeccable--just one block from the Russell Square tube (great for getting to Theatre Land) or two blocks from King's Cross/St. Pancras. The Waitrose grocery just across the street was amazingly convenient.
Immaculately clean--everything was clean, new, and fresh, and a true joy to return to after a day/evening out and about.
All the comforts of home--power shower, big comfy bed, towel warmer, washer/dryer. Everything available to make your stay luxurious!
Great hosts--Judith is amazingly kind and helpful and Antonia is totally accessible for quesions/problems and simply lovely.
As long as they let us keep coming back, we won't consider staying anywhere else in London! |

| A lovely flat, beautifully appointed. We loved the quiet street. It was terrific to walk to the British museum as well as excellent local shops, restaurants and food markets. It was an ideal place from which to access fabulous London. We found the Piccadilly Line from Russel Station, the quickest as well as the simplest way to travel from, and to the airport. We were delighted and wish to stay there when we next visit London. |

| This flat is wonderful! My boyfriend and I just spent a week there and it is a lovely location, excellent space (for London or any large city) and the family that own it are extraordinarily nice and accomodating. I would recommend this flat to anyone and would want to stay there my next time in London. |
