Kid-friendly holiday rentals in London

Lovely place in South London! Andrew and Reggie were really helpful with all their information about location, bus stops etc. and they answered really quickly to our questions during our stay.

Great place! Clean home and Anamaria was very hospitable. The neighborhood is really nice and diverse. The Herne Hill transit station is a short walk away, taking you straight to Victoria where you can then transfer to other lines. Bus stops are in super close distance too. Loved the retail stores and restaurants 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!

Carol’s lovely home is bright and airy. Shared bathroom is pristine, and I only saw one other person use it once. It was practically “mine”. As a solo female traveller, the very safe neighborhood (even late at night) and the leisurely 2 min walk to the train were a plus. Everyone on Airbnb SAYS they are a 2-min walk to everything, but Carol’s home literally is. Grocery, pubs, cafes, fine dining, and a lovely waterfront walkway in town, provide anything you might need. Carol herself is warm and friendly. Very responsive and helpful. Just a lovely human. 🙂 Note: The 30-min train ride into central London is not the tube. It’s a very comfortable, air conditioned “suburban line”. No transfers. Just walk the two mins, relax for 30, and you’re at Waterloo station, from which you can get anywhere. Can’t say enough good things. Be sure to check out the “French” cafe Feathers and Heart. Great food and service. *Gorgeous* garden with several shaded seating areas, and it is y ruly quiet.

Helen has a beautiful house with very comfortable rooms. She made us very welcome through her messages, even though we didn't actually meet because she was away. She even let me park my classic car on the driveway for safe keeping - this meant a lot to me. I would highly recommend this place to others.

It was lovely to meet Helen, and she was a warm and attentive host. The house is of historic interest in central Bloomsbury, very near to public transport and easily walkable to the British Library (my main destination!).

We loved our stay with Annie, Andrew and Stanley and would love to come back. The house has been lovingly restored and is beautifully decorated and furnished. We so enjoyed the delicious made to order breakfasts every morning that kept us going until dinner time. Stanley greeted us whenever we came and went and was a welcome surrogate for our own pup at home. The location is perfect - a short walk from the tube station and immediately across the street from beautiful Bishop’s Park. We truly can’t say enough about the Egmont Lodge and the warm welcome we received. Thank you so much Annie and Andrew.

Alice is extremely an adorable person, kind hearted , it was such a pleasure discussing with her. The room was so cozy and I had everything I needed .She made me feel like home at her beautiful house . Thanx for everything dear Alice ❤️

My stay at Shanita's private apartment was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I was so impressed by how incredibly neat and clean the entire place was – truly spotless! It made for such a comfortable and welcoming arrival. The location is also a huge plus. I found it incredibly accessible to the city center, with both bus and train options just a short walk away, making it super convenient to explore. A special shout-out and massive thank you to Shanita for stocking up the kitchen with essentials, snacks, and drinking water. I arrived really late in the evening, and seeing those thoughtful provisions was such a relief and made a huge difference after a long journey. It's these small but significant details that truly elevate a stay. I highly recommend Shanita's apartment to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and wonderfully hospitable place to stay. I'd definitely book again!

Incredible space, really beautiful weekend getaway. Chris was very proactive in reaching out to us and the location is great for finding everything we need. Amazing Yemeni restaurant opposite.

Very well decorated house with a spirit. Felt right at home. Great sound system and London view too. Without a doubt a top airbnb experience and offers great value. Calypso was super friendly and helpful. It’s very hard to think of a downside for the place and i’d only sit this one out if i had a past bad earthquake experience because the flat occasionally shakes. Thanks Calypso

The apartment was a perfect stay in one of my favorite locations. Apartment had amazing books to look at. Place was exactly like the photos. Had French press to make coffee in the morning. Buses and overground easy access to get around. Highly recommend. One thing of note is there’s no AC. which absolutely wasn’t a problem for us as the temperatures were really cool while we were there but something to keep in mind if you come during the summer. Cannot say enough good things about this apartment. It was a really great stay. Exactly what we were looking for.

Amazing place and we thoroughly enjoyed our 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!

4th time I’ve stayed. Nice clean flat in superb location near Westbourne Grove, good pubs and coffee shops away from the bustle of Portobello Road but close enough by to wander over. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. All in all a really good flat

Gorgeous apartment with a ton of room in a beautiful neighborhood. I loved sitting out on the terrace and looking across the gardens during the morning and evenings. I would highly recommend, and I hope to come back someday!

First of all, Billie and Max are excellent hosts who communicate very well, respond quickly to questions, and are extremely helpful. Thank you for all the support you provided throughout the entire process. The apartment’s location is fantastic—very close to two different tube stations. What I loved most was its proximity to Hyde Park. If you enjoy walking, you can easily add a short stroll through the park to your daily routine :) It’s situated in a very peaceful and quiet area, yet still close to lovely cafés and restaurants. In this neighborhood, you don’t feel like a tourist but more like a local, truly immersing yourself in the spirit of the city. I’m already looking forward to staying in this apartment again. Thank you for everything✌🏻

I stayed in this Airbnb with my friend and we loved it! If you are going to be in London a lot, be aware that it takes about 25-30 minutes to get into the city, but it is close to public transportation. Our hosts were so willing to work with us when we had any issues or questions, and the services provided at the Airbnb like luggage storage lockers and laundry definitely made it worth the price. For the quality, the amazing space, and the service, it is definitely a great deal! I highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I had a wonderful trip. Ruth was easy to get in touch with and left clear instructions. Loved that there was a train near by. We also enjoyed having breakfast at a nearby cafe. (Cub’s corner)Thank you Ruth!

Miki was extremely kind and generous with her communication and time. The house was spacious, clean and even better than the pictures . Right next to the beautiful Hackney Wick Canals, the walk to the Stratford station is wonderful. I would highly recommend Miki's place for both short and long stays.

Excellent hosts, very responsive and helpful, the broad range of related information provided pre stay was comprehensive. The apartment was uncluttered, clean and spacious with all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. The parking was secure and convenient, only a short walk from the apartment building. The close proximity to local cafes, restaurants and artisan shops simplified catering for a short stay whist providing different and interesting options for every meal. Public transport links are very good, bus, train and underground. looking forward to staying there again.

Nice clean unit and well equipped kitchen. Definitely worth the stay..

Great apartment in a perfect location: it looks exactly like in the pictures, plus the kitchen is the best equipped kitchen I've ever found in a short-term let, on Airbnb or elsewhere. I love cooking so it was just perfect for a long stay! Furthermore the host was incredibly responsive. I would be happy to go back to this apartment and I highly recommend it!

Great stay, would definitely come back next time I’m in London. Very easy to get around and a quick walk from battersea power station
