Honestly, it took us by surprise. We've got used to pictures of vacation rentals being better than they actually are. But this flat is a pleasant exception. It has a warm, homey feel. We've enjoyed spending time in it. The location is convenient, safe, close to two underground stations, shops and restaurants. We'll definitely try to rent this flat again for our next London visit. Darian has a welcoming and responsive communication style. Certainly, good memories were built. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay in the Hammersmith Grove flat. Every thing was as expected and communicating with Darian was great. The flat is in a great location to get to all areas of London. The neighborhood is very active and there are many great places to eat and shop. It’s a short walk to the Goldhawk Road tube stop which can get you down to Hammersmith which is a transfer station to 3 lines. The flat was well appointed with everything you could need for a short or long stay. I will say that there is no air conditioning in the flat and it was warm during our time in London. There is a fan in the flat that we used and it made a big difference. We have a great stay here in Hammersmith and would definitely stay again. Thank you Darian.
Everything you need!

These accommodations were very clean, with everything you need. Short walk to tube station. Very quiet, safe neighbourhood. We were 2 couples and there was no problem with space. We would stay here again if given the chance!

The apartment is comfortable and the location is great - close to the Hammersmith subway - which made it quite easy to back to the city. Travelling with my mom and two kids, I really enjoyed the location. Thank you Darian for making our stay enjoyable.

We had both lived in London before so it was odd being tourists there! This flat is perfect. We arrived at night, very tired after a long flight, and it felt so good to walk into the very comfortable and very well appointed apartment. Well thought out decor and inclusions, light and quiet (most important for me!).
The location was very conveniently sited close to two tube stations, but is away from the noise on a very quiet and pretty street.
Darian is a very responsive host, which is necessary and reassuring.
After staying at Hammersmith Grove we stayed at 4 other apartments in Europe and none were as well thought out and comfortable as this one. The second bedroom is quite small (with a double bed), but there is still room for clothes storage.
I really recommend this apartment!

This property is outstanding and I can recommend it highly. It is exactly as the photos show and Darian is always very accommodating. 

We were an Australian family of four and found the flat very comfy for our eight night stay over the Christmas Period. Darian had even decorated the apartment with a Christmas theme! The flat is clean and fresh, beautifully decorated – Darian clearly has a flair for interior design. The heating is warm, the main bed is a queen size, the 2nd room is a double and there is a good sofa bed in the sitting room which we used as well. The flat just works really well. 

The location is brilliant; take the 94 Bus into town, the bus stop is so close and it takes you right to Piccadilly, (actually Fortnum and Mason). The tube is in very close walking distance. There is also a very good private car company in the area who we booked for our outings. Our girls loved the huge shopping centre down the road, lots of places to eat and I just wish we’d had longer there. 

This would be a fun weekender for locals in the UK or a welcome change for a business/corporate stay from a regular hotel room. 

We would definitely stay here again in a heart beat :)

We were made very welcome on arrival at this great London apartment. The property is so well located, we were able to tour all over London easily, using both the underground and buses. There are excellent shops and restaurants just a few blocks for food shopping. We took a cruise up the Thames, which I would absolutely recommend as a great way to see London. The apartment is very well furnished and equipped, and spotlessly clean. We would definitely recommend it, and would love to come back.

Simply great!

We booked this apartment for one of our clients who was absolutely delighted with everything. It is perfectly located with easy access into central London, the local shops and restaurants are great with something to suit everyone. The flat itself has everything you need and is extremely homely - so different from a hotel.From start to finish everything went perfectly and I have to say that dealing with Darian was an absolute pleasure, we look forward to placing another tenant in her apartment soon!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Three of us in our mid 20's from the US came to London for a week of fun, and although a bit skeptical about using a non-corporate place to stay, we couldn't resist the charm of Darian's website and her complete and constant communication. The pictures and details provided are EXACTLY what you will look forward to, if you book this flat. The space was perfect. The living area and kitchen were spacious and fully furnished, the bathroom was spotless and in working order and the bedrooms served their purpose. Plenty of closet, drawer and shelf space throughout both bedrooms (for 3 heavy packers), and the beds were comfortable and clean. The Master is a queen and easily slept two people and the guest bedroom has a small double, so better for 1. The location is also great, with major tube lines running through it that will take you right in to central London in 5-8minutes. Also, the private cab to Heathrow was only 35GBP!! There are plenty of restaurants, stores and pubs in Hammersmith (I suggest Kerbisher and Malt for excellent fish & chips). Thank you again, Darian for the fantastic stay -- we will be back!

Hi Darian
I have been meaning to send you this email for about 2 weeks.   We arrived back in Australia on Saturday and now I feel I have caught up.  Washing mountain.
We wanted to thank you for the great facilities and cleanliness of Hammersmith Grove.  It felt like a home away from home.   All the mod cons within the kitchen and lounge room made it very easy to stay with the children.
Proximity to Hammersmith Station and nearby shops and restaurants were perfect.
Our next visit to the UK, we will definately book Hammersmith Grove again.
All the best
Julie and Oliver

Dear   Darian
 We had a wonderful few days  in London and  really loved the apartment. I had intended to mail you to let you know how happy  we were with it, but still
catching up after the weekend.  There were no damages  and we did our best to  leave things as close to the condition that we found it  in as  possible. 
I  would be happy to post a really  positive review on the website. We have already told lots of people how  impressed we were with the apartment and many of them
have asked where we found  it.  Don't  get so busy that we can't get  a booking the next time we come to London  though! 
Thanks  again for the lovely stay and  for all the thoughtful touches in the apartment  hope we might come back for a  return visit before too
long

My husband, my daughter and I stayed in this beautiful apartment for a long weekend at the beginning of May and were delighted with everything about
it.
The apartment is exceptionally beautifully decorated, everything is  in mint condition and the 2 double beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is
very well equipped for self catering and everything was in sparkling condition.  The owner was very welcoming and keen to satisfy all of our requirements and
questions.
It is conveniently situated on a lovely, safe road midway  between the Hammersmith(10 min walk) and Goldhawk Road (5 min) tube stations.
The journey into central London is about 15 minutes on the Piccadilly line.  There are very nice restaurants within walking distance of the
apartment.
We are looking forward to staying here again and would  unhesitatingly recommend it to any of our friends.

Simply great! This was a perfect holiday just too short!  The apartment is beautiful and perfect to feel at home in! All in great quality  and beautifully made! We
will give it 6 out of 5 stars and most certainly be  back.

We booked a 4 day weekend at this great high ceiling, well laid out, central  apartment in London and enjoyed every minute of it. We were welcomed to the 
 apartment by the owner who made us feel at home immediately. We used the apartment as a base to see the various sites of London and with it being only a 
 few hundred meters from 2 tube stations it was made very easy for us. The local pub and deli was also great. The Westfields shopping center was about a 15 
 minute walk away and had every possible shop that anyone may need there. I would  recommend this apartment for a nice stay in central london.

This is simply a lovely flat. In the middle of London, yet so quiet! We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome, and Darian was so helpful, and ready to offer advice to help us make the most of our stay.The street is busy, with shops and restaurants and with a lovely square at the bottom with cafes and bars and  where we were able to sit outside on deck chairs and watch Wimbledon on a big screen.  It is very central and was so easy to get all around London.  The flat has been beautifully decorated and furnished, and is well equipped.....we were even given bathrobes and soaps! We felt we had our own little hotel, and will definately return and un hesitatlingly recommend it. 

Tim and Daphne Barr April 2012

Hi Darian ,
