We absolutely loved this jewel box of a home. It was gorgeously decorated and stocked with all the comforts and more to make a pleasant home in the middle of a busy city. Close to two train stations with very easy access to everything we wanted to see. We loved how families filled the park in the evening. A good slice of regular life London! A very very comfortable stay.

We Loved Ford Square!

This was a perfect place for our 8 nights in London! It was an easy walk to our son’s apartment and a quick walk to the Whitechapel station-so convenient and easy to get anywhere in London!We loved the set up and space at Ford Square from the comfort, colors, art, and everything provided. It was also spotless! We couldn’t have had a better stay!

Lovely apartment with great beds and slowers

Very Comfortable

If you don't mind being a little way from the London core, this is a very comfortable apartment with everything you need. Whitechapel underground is a five minute walk and I'm sure that Ford Square is pretty in the spring. I'd certainly stay here again when visiting.

Lovely Stay in London

We really enjoyed everything about the property. It was clean, the owner was so friendly and responsive and the unit was so comfortable and well designed. The showers were like a spa and the kitchen had all the amenities to make meals easy. Close to the train station and easy to grab groceries. We would definitely recommend this unit! Loved it.

Comfortable and convenient

We loved this stay! James was communicative the whole time we stayed, and we found everything we needed. The house is well-appointed and comfortable. Under-floor heating was a lifesaver after cold walks or first thing in the morning for an even cozier cup of tea or coffee. My wife and I plan to come back and stay again as soon as we can.

Owner, James was very communicative and friendly. He allowed us to check-in early, which was greatly appreciated. His place was lovely, clean, well appointed, comfortable, comfortable beds and quiet. The neighborhood was great, not a touristy place at all and many walkable places and good food. Five minutes from the Underground.

Great place to stay!

My sister and I loved staying at this Ford Sqare apartment! Well appointed, comfortable and beautiful. Nice view out the window of the park and neighborhood. Easy walk to Whitechapel Station for the Underground, with lines from there into the heart of London or out to Heathrow. We did not realize in advance that there were stairs up to the apartment and again to the bedrooms but we are very glad to have stayed here. Thank you!

Quite a beautiful flat….very well appointed kitchen. Lovely bedrooms with nice linens. Both bathrooms had big showers and very nice amenities. James left us wine, cookies, and crackers to welcome us. Washer and dryer near bedrooms. There are several flights of stairs that are narrow and steep….difficult to manage with large luggage. Several blocks to subway access and groceries. We would highly recommend.

Lovely home in lively area

James was so accomodating and helpful. He allowed us to drop our bags earlier on check in day and offered us more freedom to leave on check out day. The house was roomy, eclectic and accessible to everything we needed during our stay. There was a wonderful info book of suggestions, tips etc that we referred to a lot. This place was a gem!

Perfect in every way

This is a beautiful, comfy, cosy home, quick walk to the tube with links to everywhere in the city, felt very safe. The decoration is stunning the sofas are big and comfortable, its warm and inviting and we almost didn’t want to leave each day to go sightseeing and visiting. So many books and guide books to look through. Everything is of an extremely high standard, would absolutely love to stay here again. James was super to deal with, immediate friendly responses. Just Perfect !

Absolutely loved it!

Over time, we have rented numerous properties around London, but this is definitely my favourite. It is simply stunning. The owner is a delight and extremely responsive. The property is not just beautiful but very well equipped. Traveling around London could not have been easier. The area is quite diverse, as are most areas in London. We would love to return.
