Kid-friendly vacation rentals in City of London

Joseph is an amazingly responsive and gracious host—he permitted early check in, provided excellent local suggestions and always answered questions quickly and thoroughly. His place is incredible. The location is in a quiet area near the park and a school but only blocks from the buzz of Upper Street with its cafes, shops and restaurants. It is beautifully decorated in a chic but still comfy way—Wood flooring, warm colors, plants, books. It has elegant styling and very cool automated features with automated lights and blinds, etc. that are quite easy to use. Additional shades and shutters allowed us to darken sleeping areas reasonably well. The kitchen appliances are very modern and easy to use. Joseph is quite thoughtful and even left some nespresso pods (yay), dishwasher pods, laundry pods—thank you! The sofa bed was reasonably comfortable and the regular bed and pillows were excellent. Access to the garden is a wonderful perk. Excellent Airbnb—do not hesitate to book!

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.

Alex's place was very comfortable and a delightful place to stay. The area is safe and lovely to explore. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

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!

I was aprehensive about staying with a host for the first time but this was a great experience. Josephine was very friendly, you have your own private space in a very peaceful house located in the heart of Dalston right off the high street. Everything was spotlessly clean with the comfiest bed I think I've ever slept in. Would book again.

Excellent place to stay! Mine was just a short stay but the place and Hanna are great! Absolutely book if you need a place in London!

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.

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!

Clean, modern and comfortable apartment near the underground and overground lines.

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.

Great location close to Tower Hill. Easy access to the underground with two options of lines within a 5 min walk to the flat. The flat is very clean and comfortable. Neighbourhood has great eating options and is quiet in the evenings. Highly recommended.

Location was great, only 5mins walk to Shadwell Station and about 10mins walk to Whitechapel Station where there are a lot of halal restaurants nearby. The apartment was really clean and spacious as well with all the amenities listed. We really appreciated that the apartment has a washer and dryer too! Stephen was also a great host, really responsive and gave us detailed instructions regarding check in and directions to the house. Thank you so much Stephen! We really enjoyed our time at your apartment ✌🏻

The location is great! Bus stop and tube station at walking distance. Tower Bridge and other attractions are also a short walk away. The studio had everything one would need for the stay.

Chris's flat was perfect. It is very convenient and within walking distance of multiple bus stops and metro stations. Cozy and quiet, it is cheerful in ambiance and comfortable after a long day exploring. Chris is extremely friendly and kind in communication, as well as quick to respond and helpful. I'm very glad I discovered this gem and would definitely recommend it.

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!

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✌🏻

Beautiful views. Super convenient, steps away from the Underground and grocery store.

Great stay - public transportation is within a 10-15 minute walk tops, and the area has a ton of great restaurants. It was nice to return to after a busy day. The flat was very clean and Zoltan really thought of all of the small details from a hairdryer to laundry soap, and even had a welcome basket for us with snacks and wine! Definitely recommend staying here.

Great hosts! Very communicative, proactive on making sure our stay was comfortable, and overall very friendly. The location was central to many different transportation services, restaurants, and unique shops. Airbnb was exactly as described and perfect for a small getaway. Thanks again for hosting us!

A quiet space in a busy neighborhood. Spacious interior. Bedroom quite large but bed orientation made movement around it challenging. Kitchen very well equipped. I struggled to get the live television working - instructions hard to find.

A wonderful place to stay, the property is spacious, modern, and beautifully furnished. Eveline is so very responsive and helpful from time of booking and throughout the stay. Thanks to her generosity in accomodating our check-in/check-out time. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

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

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
