Cromwell Road is central, but a very busy road. I would prefer Hertford Street or Roland House.

Have you looked at One Fine Stay? They have some nice central properties in that price range.

Its hard to compare/contrast those since they are all different and are scattered over all of central London. (I can't get the last one/Earls Court link to work. But you don't want to stay in Earls Ct anyway).

While Cromwell Rd IS busy, that flat is directly across the street From the Natural History Museum and a block from both the V&A and Science Museums. All of these are free and it might be good to be that close.

Hertford st is by far the poshest location.

Hi,

Thanks guys! We have no idea of locations in London so I thought if I posted them from all over the place someone might say . .this area is the best etc . .. I have tried one fine stay but sadly they are booked out during our time there. I'll look into the ones on Hertford St and Cromwell Rd.

Any other places are more then welcome!

We have the New Row flat booked for March, and everything has been confirmed this week. We used London Connections last year for a 2 bedroom unit in Drury Lane and loved it! That unit wasn't available for this year's time period, so New Row was suggested by the Management company.

I have been really satisfied with my dealings with them.
Godd luck--Barb

crazyfamilyof4 - What happened that the apartment from London Connection fell through? I reserved accommodations with them for next month.

I've personally tried this one, it's called Boutique London, last December,and I'm really satisfied with them. I stayed in their Victoria Apartment but I think they have apartments in other places as well.. www.boutiquelondonlets.com (Good thing I had it bookmarked.)

-Good luck!

Emlilittle I looked at your link but they didn't have anything in the area in the price range thanks!

I am thinking about the one in Cromwell Road or Hertford Street or Roland House - since they were recommended and are sort of in the area . . sort of

If that doesn't work out for you, try A Place Like Home. We used them last March - they were great to work with. A previous poster at the beginning of the thread also recommended them.

Our apt was http://www.aplacelikehome.co.uk/l169...bqxcoepxf.aspx. You can also email them and tell them what you are looking for and they will let you know what is available.

amamax2 - What did you think of that apt? We are staying there in June for a week and really looking forward to the trip.

We loved the apartment! When you first enter the foyer of the building itself, it looks a bit run-down, but the apt itself is very nice - clean and bright. The master bedroom and bathroom are to the right when you first enter (the master overlooks a beautiful garden, then you go upstairs to the twin bedroom, living room, and kitchen. There is lots of storage in the master bedroom and bathroom. Shower is a teeny bit tricky as it has the usual European half-door, but we got used to it quickly. Only thing we did not like is that it doesn't have a coffee maker like we are used to.

Rosary Gardens is very quiet, yet just a few minute walk to the tube, grocery store, restaurants, etc. We especially liked Caffe Forum - we got take-out dinner and morning goodies from there, and one morning coffee. If I remember correctly, you get a free croissant with coffee purchase.

One thing we did (based on recommendations on another travel foum) that worked especially well was pre-order groceries/toiletries from Waitrose. It was easy to set up an account on-line, and we chose the first delivery (7:30am) on our first morning there. They arrived promptly at 7:30 and we were able to make breakfast while our teens got ready for the day. It was so nice to not have to do a "big" shopping and this way we could just stop in the Waitrose on our way home each day if we needed a few things. It also enables us to pack really light and not worry about TSA liquid restrictions.

Let me know if you have any other questions about the apt.

tarfan24

amamax2 - Thanks so much for the feedback. Especially the tips! We'll be sure to check out Caffe Forum as I do like to have my morning coffee before getting going! I'll check out Waitrose as well as I'm sure we'll want to have snacks and drinks in the apt at a minimum.

I did have a couple of questions which I'm sure A Place Like Home can answer but since you asked ;-) I assume the kitchen has dishes, flatware, cups/glasses, cooking implements, etc? And is there a hairdryer? I have one that supposedly converts to 220 but would hate to take it and have it blown.

Thanks!

amamax2

Yes, kitchen has everything you'll need. I don't remember a blow-dryer. The owner of the apt did have a basket of converters (we had brought our own, but thought it was a nice touch.)

The Waitrose is next to the tube station, so very convenient.
