The South East England / London region
London is a city steeped in history from The Tower of London to the Inns of Court to Nelson’s Column to the Millennium Wheel. Kings and Queens, Tyrants and Prime Ministers have come and gone and left their mark. Theatres abound with classics and great new shows in equal number. London is also a shopping city - everything you could desire (and things you never thought to desire) is to be found in Knightsbridge and Chelsea. Restaurants of every type of cuisine abound in every area, and nightlife is the best in the world.

The area is lovely, it's so central and bustling yet the street is quiet. Walk down to the river a few minutes walk from the flat and you can see the lovely Albert Bridge (gorgeous at night)... more |

Fabulous little apartment in a great little neighborhood! We were very comfortable during our stay. Arrived on a weekend early evening, but it was dark. Had never done the tubes before, and some lines get closed for repairs on weekends. We ended up taking a cab from the train station, which cost around 27 pounds. We let ourselves in, with the keys from the keybox. At first the keys were a little confusing, nothing like the locks we have in the US. We did get the hang of them though. Shortly after, Iabelle's partner David met us with a welcome basket. A few food items to get us started (goats butter is fantastic), and a container of homemade delicious snacks! We booked this about two weeks out. Paid half on Paypal, and the balance upon arrival. Wrote one UK check for the balance, and a seperate check for the deposit. When we checked out, I was given back the deposit check so I could tear it up. Most days we ate lunch out and about & returned home to cook dinner. A couple of nights we returned home early to rest up & then ventured back out for late nights. Never had any concerns walking thru the neighborhoods in the dark. 10 to 15 minute walk to Fulham Broadway tube station. Bus stops are closer, but we never took the time to figure out the bus system. The internet was a available with a Dongle, but that didn't work with my IPAD 2. My IPAD 2 has 3G, so we still had internet, but reception for Skype didn't work well. Probably would have been fine with the Dongle and a laptop. When we checked out, David was kind enough to drop us at a Tube station on the way out. Would definitely recommend this little flat. Clean and comfortable. |

Thank you for making our visit to London so enjoyable. The taxis that you arranged both in London and in Paris worked wonderfully.
The apartment was great. It was convenient to buses, stores and restaurants. We felt very safe in the community. We felt we were coming home each night to our home and little community.
It was nice meeting you - thank you.

Il ns soggiorno a Londra nell'appartamento di Isabelle è stato molto piacevole.
Innanzitutto Isabelle è stata una padrona di casa eccezionale e simpatica.
Ci ha dato molti consigli preziosi su come muoverci a Londra e in particolare nel quartiere di Chelsea dove è situato l'appartamento.
Ma sopratutto è stata gentilissima e premurosa quando, avendo saputo del ns contrattempo con l'aereo ci ha fatto trovare a disposizione latte e alri beni di prima necessità..
L'appartamento è molto grazioso, arredato con gusto e situato in un quartiere molto tranquillo, l'ideale dopo una giornata di visita alla città.
Consiglieremo sicuramente questo appartamento ai ns amici e conoscenti che dovessero recarsi a Londra.
Torneremo sicuramente.

We spent a really pleasant stay in London in the Isabelle's flat.
First of all Isabelle is a pleasant and extraordinary householder.
She made us a lot of good suggestions on how to go around in London and especially in Chelsea where the flat is located.
She was really extraordinary when, knowing the problems we had with the flight, we found milk, bread and some other things we needed when we arrived at 03.00 a.m.
The flat is really nice and it's located in a quite area, the best solution after a tired day visiting London.
We'll advise Isabelle's flat to our friends and we're sure, we'll go there again.

Merci Isabelle car nous avons passé un super séjour a Londres, vous nous avez réservé un accueil fantastique pour que notre arrivé jusqu’ ‘a l’appartement se fasse sans encombre a nous qui avions un anglais bien pauvre. Très agréable surprise a l’arrive a l’appartement qui était décoré avec soin, nous avons apprécié les petites attentions (gels de douche et shampoing a nous petits voyageurs qui avions oublié que les nôtres ne passeraient pas la douane, petites choses a grignoter sans avoir a courir a peine arrivé dans un supermarché).
Très agréable aussi la propreté de l’appartement ou tout était rangé et ou rien ne manquait pour notre bien être. Le quartier très sympa avec un petit pub dont les chocolats et les jeux de sociétés on fait la joie de nos deux enfants et ou nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement.
Merci encore a Isabelle qui a été comme une petite mère pour nous aidé aux moindres oublies ou petits soucis que nous pouvions rencontrer.
Nous recommandons a tous ceux qui souhaite passe des vacances sans aucun déconvenue de vite réservé la bas. En ce qui nous concerne si nous devons retourner a Londres, notre hébergement est tout trouvé.
Merci encore isabelle pour ce bel accueil

Juste un petit mot pour vous remercier de l’accueil au 11 Burnaby street.
Et un commentaire sur la location :
« Merci à Isabelle pour son accueil chaleureux dans son petit appartement au cœur de Londres, dans un quartier très tranquille mais tout proche des commodités. A notre arrivée, Isabelle nous a formidablement reçus, la location était parfaitement propre (Londres n’est pourtant pas réputée pour ce critère !) et un vrai confort nous attendait : pièces lumineuses, literie parfaite (même le canapé-lit possède un matelas de bon confort), salle de bains de premier ordre, accès internet, petites attentions pour notre arrivée (miel, thé, café, beurre, pain…) et juste une envie à notre départ :revenir l’année prochaine ! »
Nous avons transmis l’adresse à quelques amis…
A bientôt !!

"I had booked this flat from 15 April to 1 May 2011 for my parents who were visiting me from overseas. Isabelle was very friendly and welcoming from our very first phone conversation. I was able to view the property before making the booking and the flat looked just like the photographs.
The flat was perfect for my parents and for me to stay with them during their time here. It is located on a lovely residential street and easily accommodates three grown up people. The location was great for me to go the work and for my parents to go to all the tourist spots. Its also close to the supermarket which is convenient. The house is well decorated and is fully furnished, from duvets to towels to kitchen utensils. It was wonderful for my mum to be able to cook so easily and it was easy for us to think of it as our own house!
I would recommend this place to people travelling to London with family, friends, as a couple or alone for business or work."
Best wishes,

"The property is really good, nice decoration, very clean and sunny. The flat is also in a very quiet location and even the entertainment facilities are available. The internet was provided in the form of a dongle, this was really useful as I was doing some write up for my PhD and with the dongle it wasn't problem at all because I had connection to the internet every where and at any time."

What a find! This is the perfect base for London, I travelled on business and it was heavenly to come back “home” after a busy day in London. The train and bus routes a few minutes away meant I could reach all areas of London by public transport. I turned left and one street away found Chelsea harbour with an amazing selection of restaurants and the Chelsea “design centre” beside Imperial Wharf station. I turned right and in minutes was in the trendy Kings road with its eclectic mix of people and establishments. Earls court and Olympia are 1 and 2 stops away from Imperial Wharf station (I walked on the days I had meetings there) I even managed to fit in a morning shopping at Westfield even though I was on a tight schedule. It’s the first time I have stayed in an apartment in London and it will be my preference from now on. I was met and escorted to the apartment and shown around by the property manager. He kindly helped me with my luggage, brought me a welcome pack including some of his own homemade pate and a welcome bottle of wine. He fussed over me and pointed me the right direction for my meetings next day, the nearest supermarket and best local spots. I felt really relaxed after quite a long day travelling from overseas. The apartment is thoughtfully furnished and there is everything you could want from a hairdryer to DVDs and local take away menus. It was comfortable and peaceful and spotless. I have stayed at 5* hotels in London and this surpasses any of the hotels I stayed and as I didn’t have to venture out for food and drinks it was incredible value for money. I want to thank Isabelle and David for their kind hospitality and I will become a regular at Chez Isabelle in London.
