London, London
Nicely designed second floor apartment with high ceilings, located in a beautiful former 1800's Bank Building from the Victorian era, overlooking a park and the historical Smithfield Market. The apartment has a bright living room with lots of light, a kitchen area, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
.
The location also has the fantastic fine dining and cafe culture of Smithfield and Clerkenwell on its doorstep with traditional pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, many cafes and great options for family or late night dining. It is a perfect location for enjoying London, with all the famous landmarks very nearby. Museum of London and the original Roman city walls are 4 minutes walk away, St. Pauls Cathedral just 600 meters. A short walk further brings you across the Millennium footbridge over the Thames to the Tate Modern Museum and attractions near London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
There is a double bed in the bedroom, and in the living room there is a double bed too. Both rooms are private and can be closed off completely. The bathroom in the apartment is accessible separately from both spaces.
Great spot for transport across London. It is a 2 minute walk to the new high-speed Elizabeth Line (Paddington in 8 minutes), and Barbican (180 m) and Farringdon Underground Stations (100m), very close to St Paul's station and has perfect train links to all of London's airports.
Culture and Attractions: You will enjoy the many cultural attractions nearby, including Barbican Center for Theatre, Art and Dance - Europe's largest multi-arts venue and home to the London Symphony Orchestra is a 3 minute walk (300 meters); British Museum, Portrait Gallery, and many other venues within minutes. The location is ideal for quick access to the trendy Hoxton and Shoreditch.
Had a lovely stay over Christmas. Really close to tube stations. Nice apartment with good facilities - kitchen, dishwasher, etc. Host is easy to communicate with.
Exactly as it says! Great location & a breeze to get to from Heathrow
The flat was perfect for our family of four. We loved being so close to the Elizabeth line and St Paul’s Cathedral. And the local pubs and coffee shops were very convenient at the start/end of our days. It was great that our kids had separate twin beds. The shower was amazing! And Rolf was very attentive.
Rolf was very quick to respond with any question I had prior to arriving. We had very detailed instructions about where to go and how to get in just prior to departing from home to go to London. The location was incredibly convenient with regard to getting to anywhere we wanted. I do recommend this place.
Rolf was one of the nicest and most personable hosts I’ve met. I would book with him again in a heart beat. The apartment is situated in a very interesting and rich historical location on the perimeter of London and it’s close to the Farringdon/ Barbican stations. I loved the apartment. It suites a family of four with two teenagers much better than a family with very young children.
Near from many attractions But the Smithfield Market are very very noisy all night long It’s impossible to sleep with windows open Communication with host is ok
Great apartment in the heart of historic Farringdon. Who knew about the oldest church in London, the execution of Sir William Wallace and the vibrant Smithfield markets? Not us but we do now. Communication was great. We stayed over Christmas so a lot of pubs and restaurants were closed but we had a brilliant time. You can walk to the Globe Theatre and Tower of London and the new Elizabeth line from Heathrow stops about 150m away. The apartment is London sized but well appointed. We were very happy. Thanks Rolf.
The flat worked well for us. The photos on the Vrbo listing were not exact as there is only one twin bed in the living/kitchen area so we don’t feel it would sleep 5. We connected with Rolf as soon as we arrived. He came by to make sure we got into the flat — we did have difficulty getting into the lockbox and we had to call him, but by the time he arrived we had opened it. During our stay he responded quickly when we had a question or problem. We loved the location since it is close to St. Paul’s which we visited frequently and it is within walking distance to the buses and tube. And both of us being 70+ ladies the convenience for city travel and groceries is very important. Fascinated watching the Smithfield meat market during the early morning hours. Overall a pleasant stay.
This was a great apartment for our week in London. The tube lines are so convenient, particularly the Elizabeth line from Heathrow. Walking distance to so much and a great neighborhood environment. Great pubs right downstairs with great food. The only kind of negative was the Smithfield Market. It was in full swing at 3 am and could get a little noisy. But even that wasn’t that bad. I would absolutely recommend this cute flat.
Pics are exactly what flat is like. Location right near public transportation options and within walking distance to many tourist areas and attractions. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Kitchenette nicely set up. Def recommend this flat!
Great location with all transportation around and easy access to main London spots
Overall a good experience staying at this property. Pro’s are that its close to St. Paul’s cathedral, the London tube, Millennium bridge, and several of the other attractions in the area. Also right below is an excellent pub with good food and drink and also right down the street from some good coffee shops. Con’s would be that it is small, which was in the listing, and that it is fair distance away from some of London’s other main attractions. Overall a good place and would recommend but just know what you are getting and where you are located.. Owners of the property were very attentive and that also would be a pro.
Fabulous location and great set up. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Flat was located in a central location close to the Faringdon tube station. Our hosts were quick to respond regarding any questions or concerns. Check-in and check-out was seamless with detailed instructions. Our major complaint was the Wi-Fi was poor and unable to sustain most internet functions. The bedding and towels could also use an update, as they were in poor condition. Overall, a positive stay in a great location!
We had the best time visiting London and staying in Rolf & Mok's flat made that possible. The location was absolutely perfect. Farringdon Station (serviced by multiple Tube lines) is just around the corner. We could get to just about everything we wanted to see in about 20 minutes from the flat. The place was clean and comfortable - accommodated 4 adults just fine. There's two pubs just outside the front door too for when you come home from a day full of seeing the sights too! Communication with Rolf and Mok was great. They even provided a link to an online journey planner; so we were able to know exactly how to get to all the sights. I would definitely rent this flat again. Thanks Mok and Rolf!!
we loved this place- very clean and accessible
The property was clean, with easy access to everything.
This flat was fully as advertised. Great place, all the necessary amenities. Rolf is an incredibly responsive host. The location is amazing. Great neighborhood (just steps from St Paul’s) with access to at least 3-4 different tube lines. You’re also walking distance from lots of the big sites. The review about the noise of the big market nearby was worrisome, but once we shut the windows, the sound disappeared. We highly recommend this flat.
