Kid-friendly vacation rentals in London

Laura is a very warm and kind person. If I ever go back to London, I’ll be rebooking with her. She has great recommendations, and is a wonderful when helping tourists figure out public transportation in London. Very close to the rail and great access to transit, quiet neighbourhood, and overall a great place to stay to explore London. Bed was super comfortable too!

We had a wonderful stay with Karen and Nick. Everything was exactly as shown in the photos and described on Airbnb. They were incredibly friendly and empathetic hosts. We slept like we were in the clouds – the bed was soft and cosy. The bathroom was spacious and modern, with fresh towels provided every other day. Our room was cleaned regularly, with fresh water, coffee, and milk replenished daily. We can wholeheartedly recommend Karen and Nick’s accommodation to anyone. Hope to see you again soon!

Carol’s lovely home is bright and airy. Shared bathroom is pristine, and I only saw one other person use it once. It was practically “mine”. As a solo female traveller, the very safe neighborhood (even late at night) and the leisurely 2 min walk to the train were a plus. Everyone on Airbnb SAYS they are a 2-min walk to everything, but Carol’s home literally is. Grocery, pubs, cafes, fine dining, and a lovely waterfront walkway in town, provide anything you might need. Carol herself is warm and friendly. Very responsive and helpful. Just a lovely human. 🙂 Note: The 30-min train ride into central London is not the tube. It’s a very comfortable, air conditioned “suburban line”. No transfers. Just walk the two mins, relax for 30, and you’re at Waterloo station, from which you can get anywhere. Can’t say enough good things. Be sure to check out the “French” cafe Feathers and Heart. Great food and service. *Gorgeous* garden with several shaded seating areas, and it is y ruly quiet.

Helen has a beautiful house with very comfortable rooms. She made us very welcome through her messages, even though we didn't actually meet because she was away. She even let me park my classic car on the driveway for safe keeping - this meant a lot to me. I would highly recommend this place to others.

It was lovely to meet Helen, and she was a warm and attentive host. The house is of historic interest in central Bloomsbury, very near to public transport and easily walkable to the British Library (my main destination!).

What can I say about our stay with Annie and Andrew. They were simply amazing and their places is as beautiful as the pictures. Amazing breakfast with homemade muesli and fruit and a cooked English breakfast. The day we left they even packed a breakfast/lunch for us which was absolutely amazing as we had to leave early. Their home is beautiful. Their thoughtfulness is amazing and they were super nice people. And what can I say about their dog? Stanley is a sweetheart.

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!

Alice was super friendly and a great host. My room was huge and her place is a very short walk from the metro station.

Very well decorated house with a spirit. Felt right at home. Great sound system and London view too. Without a doubt a top airbnb experience and offers great value. Calypso was super friendly and helpful. It’s very hard to think of a downside for the place and i’d only sit this one out if i had a past bad earthquake experience because the flat occasionally shakes. Thanks Calypso

I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The home is beautiful, filled with natural light and overlooking a lovely garden that added such a peaceful vibe to my mornings. The location is ideal - charming neighborhood in Kensington, yet just a short walk to the tube, restaurants, and everything you might need. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and right at home. The host was incredibly kind and proactive, offering clear instructions and support throughout my stay from check-in to settling in with ease. Smart home features made everything even more seamless. I’ve definitely found my go-to place every time I’m in London. Highly, highly recommended.

We stayed at this place for 3 nights, my wife and I, and it was a great choice. Katya welcomed us and clearly explained everything we needed to know. There were no issues with check-in at all. The location is excellent—very close to Hyde Park and surrounded by many restaurants and cafés. The neighborhood is upscale, quiet, and very safe, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Host was amazing! Left us treats after our travel day and things to get us started. The apartment was modernized and the plugs were universal so we didn’t need to buy adapters for our American electronics. The apartment is at the top floor so make sure you are prepared to carry your luggage up, though this did not pose an issue for our family it is worth noting. Location to Paddington train station and a ton of pubs was amazing. I would definitely stay here when visiting London again.

Dom was very kind from the start and always attentive to any questions. The place was very clean and had everything needed for the stay. The location is excellent, with a metro station right below the building. The only downside is that there’s no elevator, which can be a bit inconvenient when arriving or leaving with luggage. Still, highly recommended!

Our first visit to London couldn’t be made easier with this comfortable stay in the heart of the city! Walkable to so many fantastic restaurants, theatres and historic landmarks. The hosts were very attentive in case we needed anything at all, which we didn’t because they really think of everything! The place is remodeled beautifully and the shower/warm water with the right pressure is amazing! They even provided a bottle of wine and chocolates. So accommodating and thoughtful. We would love to stay again.

A superb apartment in an equally superb location. The best 4 weeks we’ve ever had in London!!

This is a very compact and efficiently laid out flat that was perfect for our five day stay in London. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room was a great place to relax when we came back from our busy days out. We very much appreciated the location, which allowed us to walk to many different neighborhoods or easily take public transportation when needed. Daniel was very responsive to all my questions and provided suggestions for luggage storage when we visited the British Museum on our last day there. I’d highly recommend this flat to anyone looking for a clean, lovely place to stay in the middle of London.

Sabin was a wonderful host. We enjoyed his place. Very much. Great location would definitely stay again if we’re ever in London.

Very clean place, located in great neighborhood. Comfortable living space. Checkin could be smoother

Centrally located to restaurants, but also quiet because it was on a pedestrian-only street. We found it easy to walk the the Tube, Oxford Circus, Soho, and several other neighborhoods. Stephen was responsive to messages after we booked. The place was clean and comfortable. There were snacks and coffee. The place looks just like the photos. It was nice staying in a duplex. Each room was a good size. It was nice having a washer-dryer too. We enjoyed our 4-night stay. Would definitely stay there again!

Really great location, cozy little unit with everything you need. Wish I could have stayed longer!

This is just a perfect little spot for a long or short visit in London- the neighborhood is impeccable (well, it's Mayfair after all) , it's an easy walk to 2 very connected tube stops, a short stroll to Green Park and Buckingham Palace, and well as Oxford Circus and SoHo. VERY central. Quiet, very secure and serene, beautifully set up and functional. It backs to a stunning little park, which is just wonderful and so very atmospheric. Qaiser was an impeccable host: cheerful, helpful and instantly responsive. It's is clear that he takes being a participating owner in AirBnb very seriously and truly wants the best experience for his guests. I will definitely come again. 5 Stars!

Even better than the photos! Great place, we were very happy!

I really enjoyed my stay here—it’s a great option if you’re traveling solo and want to be in a safe, central part of London. The neighborhood felt very secure and had everything I needed within a short walking distance: shops, cafes, restaurants, and public transport. The flat was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It made a perfect home base for exploring the city. I’d definitely recommend it to other solo travelers!

Miki was extremely kind and generous with her communication and time. The house was spacious, clean and even better than the pictures . Right next to the beautiful Hackney Wick Canals, the walk to the Stratford station is wonderful. I would highly recommend Miki's place for both short and long stays.
