I highly recommend doing business with Maria and renting her lovely apartment from her. Maria is totally honest, reliable, trustworthy and highly dependable, but most of all, she is a terrific person! I can say this without reservation. We had booked early, March 2012 for our Aug. 2012 holiday. A few weeks before our arrival date we cancelled with Maria because my brother was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. True to her word, (her policy, as stated on Trip Advisor: "In the event of cancellation, we will endeavour to re-let the apartment, and if successful, your deposit will be returned.") Maria did everything she could to secure another booking during our previously reserved time. She really does uphold her policy to a high level of effort (for a re-let) on her part. Sadly my brother passed away just three weeks after his diagnosis and we decided to come to London as planned. We contacted Maria about staying at the apartment, but around that time she had just secured a re-let. Maria was very helpful and suggested that since we would be in London, she would meet with us to return 100% of our deposit in full. She was even going to travel to our hotel to give us the refund; which I found to be amazing and impressive. At my suggestion, we met at Imperial Wharf, which is a beautiful, lovely area, very close to public transit and we hope to stay in Maria's apartment next time we visit London. Having met, spoken with, and exchanged emails with Maria since March of 2012 to August of 2012, I feel highly qualified to recommend her as the owner of her apartment, and therefore her apartment which must definitely meet the high standards she has demonstrated to us as a person and landlady. Thanks so much Maria, you are one of a kind.

Stayed here on first of a three leg trip that started in London. We had ourselves and three 20-somethings with us. The apartment is small but clean and exactly as advertised. It is clean and very well maintained. All kitchen appliances that we used were fully operational. The apartment is a bit distant from some attractions but very near train lines and taxi stand so we were not bothered in the least by this. We did have one wheelchair in our group and we found no issues with accessibility. Owner was very easy to work with and more than willing to respond with travel questions/advice even before our arrival (transportation, restaurants, etc.). On the whole, very pleased with our experience.

My wife, 7 YO son and myself spent a week traveling in london and stayed at the property. The owner was very nice and helpful. The property was close to the underground and the busline. It was a great place to stay.

We agree with all of the other reviewers regarding the outstanding unit and its great location. We really like staying a bit away from the center of things yet with good access to transportation. We were a bit concerned that an Overground station might be a little less convenient than being near an Underground station, but this did not prove to be the case. As long as you carry a train schedule to manage your weekend travels, the transportation is quite convenient. We found wonderful Indian and Middle Eastern food just steps away on the Wharf, and we ate there regularly.
Quality of sleep is extremely important to us. We need great bedding and extremely great noise control - both interior and exterior. On these counts, this unit is probably the best we have experienced. The neighborhood is quite quiet, but, most importantly, the building is architected such that this unit has absolutely no neighbors either next to the bedrooms or above. While the unit is not on the absolute top floor, the floor above is only a partial floor. The only thing above the unit is the roof. Also, the is the only floor in the building with a balcony.
We will definitely request this unit on our next visit to London.
