Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Barbican, Greater London

Incredible place, an actual home shared with care and respect exactly the way this platform was originally intended for. Stunning house with amazing garden, super comfortable and fully equipped with anything one could need. Tasteful and luxurious, quiet area close to many parks and restaurants/shops. Hope to be back!

Alex's place was very comfortable and a delightful place to stay. The area is safe and lovely to explore. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

I stay in the apartment for 5 nights for a business trip. I always stay in this area as it is waking distance to the office. I really like this apartment and plan on staying there each time I come on business. It was very clean and practical, but most importantly I got great nights sleep (I am a very light sleeper). It was really quiet at night and the blinds hid the sunlight properly. Alex was very responsive and accommodating. I definitely recommend this accommodation if you need a base in the area.

I would certainly endorse all the positive comments from previous reviews that add up to Simona being rated a super host. Very happy with my week's stay. Simona is a very chatty, naturally welcoming host whose company I very much enjoyed. The room I had was small but all that I needed for somewhere to sleep after spending most of the time out-and-about in London, while Simona's house is a well-lived in, homely space in a great location. It might come with the odd creak and groan from the floorboards and plumbing, but, hey, welcome to 'Wimpy/Barrett Britain!' Ultimately, it's the human touches that make travelling so compelling and I look forward to sharing a plate of pasta with Simona when next in Wapping. That's dependant on availability of course - there's good reason why Simona's is usually booked-up far in advance. Glad for having had this chance for an introduction. Cheers!

Alice provided a perfect stay. All was clean and tidy. Everything was available to suit our needs, as well as thoughtful extras. Next time we are in London, we hope to stay again.

I loved my this Airbnb because it was around 5 weeks that I was in Shoreditch for work and it made me feel like home. The neighbourhood is very multicultural and you're between two train lines, close to Columbia Road and Broadway Market, Spitafields etc. I loved it and would stay again. The place had everything I needed to live a really comfortable lifestyle but I did miss a comfy couch and TV.

I was aprehensive about staying with a host for the first time but this was a great experience. Josephine was very friendly, you have your own private space in a very peaceful house located in the heart of Dalston right off the high street. Everything was spotlessly clean with the comfiest bed I think I've ever slept in. Would book again.

Easily a five star stay at Levin’s place in Dalston. Levin was responsive and kind and the place was exactly as photographed. A short walk to both Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland stations with lots to explore in the neighbourhood. The unit was clean and well equipped with lots of natural sunlight. Had a lovely and comfortable stay and would recommend Levin’s place.

Vanessa's place was very nice. It was well-organized, and super convenient for me given mix of business and leisure during my trip. There was enough space to do a bit of work, and it had all the ammenities (iincluding a bit of tea and coffee, shampoo/soap and even laundry detergent). She was also very communicative, and quick to clarify anything. Would recommend.

Such a beautiful home! The perfect London home away from home. Very accessible to restaurants and stations. Megan was a lovely host, very communicative and made our stay so enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay here and can’t wait to be back soon!

This is indeed a “gem” of a location. The flat itself is compact but very comfortable for two people and had everything we needed. It is clear that a lot of care was put into renovating and decorating this flat and there are many thoughtful touches (e.g. water filter in fridge, heated towel rack, plush towels, interesting London coffee table books etc.) There was more storage space than any other Airbnb I’ve been in! The kitchenette is fully equipped and included a Nespresso maker (pods are provided) and milk frother so I was able to make cappuccinos each morning. The elevator was a luxury, but be aware that there is a short flight of stairs to reach the lift and then another to reach the flat. Thank you to host Chris and owner Anthony for their prompt communication and hospitality. They even provided a bottle of wine and chocolates! We were also able to drop off our luggage prior to check in, which was a huge help. We would happily stay here again!

Great place at a great location—Anil was very helpful to make the reservation and my accommodation work out smoothly during an inconvenient time for the house at a rapid pace. Highly recommended stay!

Very comfortable for three. A big bedroom, a 65 square foot bathroom!!!, and a large living room with kitchen. Sofa bed for two in the living room. Water pressure in bathroom very good. Refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher provided, with Disney, Netflix and Amazon Prime already available on smart TV. The flat is 10 minutes walking distance to two bus stops offering different lines, and probably 15 minutes to Angel station. There are excellent cafes and restaurants within a 15 minute walk. There is a breakfast place 100 metres away with good service and great food. A mini market is about 150 metres away. Sainsbury’s and Coop are under a 15 minute walk. A large curved monitor, mouse and connections are all available in the work area. Plug in your laptop and you are all set. Michael responded very quickly to all questions. Excellent place in an excellent location, supported by a very good host. This is definitely the first place we will select when we are in London!

I stayed at Neo's apartment during a business trip. The apartment wasn’t designed just for Airbnb - it was actually lived in, which made it feel much more like a real home. Everything was functional and comfortable. I especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the easy-to-use washing machine, and the spacious bathrooms. After busy days, it was nice to come back this homely apartment. Having a few supermarkets nearby was also a bonus. Neo was responsive and kind, always quick to answer any questions.

Wow – is all we can say! What an absolutely incredible place – the location is unbeatable, and the home itself is a true experience to stay in. From the moment we arrived, it was amazing . Every detail was perfect – beautifully styled, immaculately clean, and filled with character and the art work is classy The kids felt like royalty and didn’t stop smiling the whole time – The space was so thoughtfully laid out, blending luxury and comfort in the most effortless way. We’ve stayed in many places over the years, but this one truly stands out. It’s more then just a home What a place to stay Thank you

What a pleasure to have been staying at Roberto's, the apartment is so nice , bright and very accessible by metro. The place allowed us to make our stay even more enjoyable than it was already! In addition, Roberto is very friendly and accommodating. Truly a flawless ✅💚

I had a wonderful stay. There were a lot of amenities, location was good and convenient and instructions + details were all very helpful during my stay. Craig was also very responsive during my time :)

If you need to be centrally located in London - then this is the place! Great little flat, with everything you need. Tarik is a super friendly and caring host - will be back.

Pippa's place is very well located and was easy to find. Her apartment looked just like the pictures if not even better. A spacious and well-equipped kitchen and beautiful piano were highlights of our stay here. In addition it was just a short distance from multiple transport options. Pippa was a wonderful and responsive host, thank you for a lovely stay. We would definitely love to return in future!

Stayed twice in four weeks. Great neighbourhood. Good eating and drinking. Felt safe at all times. This time I used washing machine, great machine, very handy. Had everything I wanted and needed. Would recommend and also stay here again

We found Andrew's place to be very comfortable, and we enjoyed staying there for five nights. Andrew was very responsive to our text messages and went out of his way to ensure that we had everything that we needed and were well taken care of over the duration of our stay. I would highly recommend staying with Andrew, and have rated our stay five stars which was thoroughly deserved.

Thanks for a great stay. We loved staying and it was very convenient to train and bus routes into town. From the top story there was an amazing expansive view over inner London which is so rare to behold.

A quiet space in a busy neighborhood. Spacious interior. Bedroom quite large but bed orientation made movement around it challenging. Kitchen very well equipped. I struggled to get the live television working - instructions hard to find.

What a lovely sanctuary - are we even in London? The park; the trees; the green; the quiet -what a gem of a place and to top it off the communication from Rose was superlative: a real home away from home. Gorgeous interiors, lots of light, lots of calm. The list of eateries and outeries is extremely comprehensive too! And great water pressure! Thank you for a fantastic stay.
