About this property

Spacious Historic Townhouse in Central London - family friendly

HOW WE TAKE CARE OF YOU. Our townhouse is spacious, light and lovingly cared for. If you need any advice, just call or email Fatijah (presently in California but still a Londoner at heart.)
THE CHARMING SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. Maida Vale, one of Central London's upscale neighborhoods, is a sought after area for Londoners, because while you can easily get anywhere in central London, it is also quiet and friendly, without the pollution and bustle of Soho or Oxford Street. The charming parade of shops boasts a florist, beauty parlor, and general store as well as restaurants and delis.
One block away is a large park with two children’s playgrounds and a running track (where Roger Bannister trained to break the 4 minute mile). The Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded, is a 15-minute walk; as is Little Venice, with its 18th century canals and colorful houseboats. Want to venture further? Portabello Road Market in Notting Hill is a little over half an hour's walk.
OUR EDWARDIAN TOWNHOUSE. The reception room has the classic features of the late 1800's: nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, crystal chandeliers and period prints. We provide high speed wireless internet, a high-end stereo system and an assortment of guidebooks and brochures.The first floor has a dining room, living room, TV room/sleeping area and an eat-in kitchen with modern appliances. The two bedrooms, on the upper floor, are large and light. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a double and a single bed. Both bedrooms overlook one-way streets with trees and little traffic. The bathroom is vast, with a tub, shower, and bidet - as well as excellent water pressure.
CENTRAL LONDON AT YOUR DOORSTEP. From Heathrow, take the 15 minute Heathrow Express to Paddington Station. Go one tube stop or a very short cab ride. You’ve arrived!
Our townhouse is close to two tube stations, Maida Vale and Warwick Avenue. You can get anywhere in Central London with ease. (The Bakerloo line is one of the best, with trains running every 2 or 3 minutes.) Oxford Circus, London’s shopping mecca, is a ten-minute tube ride. Piccadilly Circus, the center of the theater district, is a twelve-minute ride. You can get on and off the tubes and buses easily with a credit card. Whether you spend your days navigating the crowds on Oxford Street, touring Westminster Abbey, or awed by the Tower of London, you will welcome returning to our quiet, safe oasis.

Great location
We stayed a week in London so that we could meet up with a few friends before we emigrated overseas. My husband was commuting to work at Blackfriars. This house was perfect for our needs. A real home away from home. The commute to work was simple. We enjoyed the park nearby. Just a very good base and plenty of seating/beds etc for our family of 6. The host was very good at communicating with us.

A very nice flat, which immediately felt like a home away from home.
This was a great place for a family visit, with lots of room for all the family and a great location.

The best place to stay in London
This is my second stay at Fatijah's lovely home. And home is the operative word - from the moment we arrived we felt comfortable and at home. The house is delightful and Fatijah has thought of all those extras that make a place more homey and special - a microwave, an espresso machine, washer dryer, Oyster cards to use during the stay. As for location, Maida Vale is a gem. We were very close to all the sights of London (Bakerloo line makes for an easy ride to anywhere) while maintaining a neighborhood atmosphere. So after a day of frantic sightseeing we would happily regroup and take a lovely walk, either to the Paddington Recreation Park (just minutes away) or to Regents Park (a 20 minute walk). I'm already planning next year's stay. So, thank you, Fatijah, for a lovely vacation spot.

About the host

Hosted by Fatijah Clark

Host profile image
My husband and I live in California, which we love - but I am English - grew up in London - and was missing my friends and family. We were fortunate enough to buy this Edwardian townhouse. We visit whenever we can and when we can't be there, we love that other people are able to enjoy London.

Why they chose this property

We looked for over a year at more than 50 residences to find the perfect home base. We wanted it to be easily accessible from Heathrow, to be near a good tube line and bus route so we could easily navigate all of London, to have its own separate entrance and a spacious interior, and preferably to be a period property in a charming neighborhood (if possible with a good deli and general store across the street). Voila! This is it!

What makes this property unique

The townhouse was built in the Edwardian era - late 1800's or early 1900's - and we have decorated it with prints and memorabilia from this era.
Our friendly neighborhood is a quiet oasis in busy London. It is also near two tube stops on an excellent tube line so all of London is easily accessible - trains run every 2 to 3 minutes and go straight to Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square etc.
