Overview
First Impressions
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from Luxury One Bedroom Apartment With AC, Balcony, Free Coffee Central London — you know how apartment rentals can be hit or miss. But stepping into this four-star place on Cuthbert Street, I was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtfully everything’s been put together. The flat sits right in Westminster Borough, and you can actually feel that you’re in proper central London without the tourist trap chaos.
The Space Itself
The apartment feels bigger than most London places I’ve stayed in, which is saying something. What really got me was the kitchen — it’s not just some afterthought with a mini-fridge and a kettle. You’ve actually got proper counter space and appliances that work, plus they keep the coffee stocked (which saved me countless trips to Pret). The bedroom flows naturally from the living area, and that promised AC? It actually works well, thank goodness.
That Balcony Life
Here’s the thing about the balcony — it’s not huge, but it’s perfectly sized for morning coffee or an evening drink. I mean, having any outdoor space in central London is pretty special, and this one overlooks the street in a way that feels connected to the neighborhood rather than isolated. You can people-watch while you plan your day, which honestly became part of my routine.
Location Details
Cuthbert Street isn’t one of those famous London addresses, but that works in your favor. You’re close enough to Oxford Street that it’s a reasonable walk, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the madness every time you step outside. The nearest tube stations are actually walkable — Marble Arch and Edgware Road are both doable, which gives you options depending on where you’re heading.
Why Guests Love It
What makes this place work is that it feels like someone actually lives here, not like a sterile hotel room. The little touches matter — proper hangers in the closet, decent WiFi that doesn’t cut out, and a shower with actual water pressure. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for a few days and not feel like you’re camping out in someone else’s space, if that makes sense.
Guest reviews
"Convenient, comfortable, modern apartment for central stay in London"
2 a/c units were excellent to have during hot weather. Elevator handy for reaching apartment level. Decent sized apartment and a small balcony. Quiet considering it faces Edgeware Road. Close to tube and bus stops. Walkable from Hyde Park and a variety of restaurants and vintage stores in Marylebone and Church street.
What could be improved: Some basic amenities were missing like coffee pods for coffee maker, black tea, sugar. Couldn’t locate a kitchen cloth for wiping dishes so used a regular hand towel. Only one dishwasher cube provided even though we were there for 3 days. Needs a dedicated shower mat to step out onto bathroom floor so had to use a bath towel. Non-slip strips in bathtub need removing and replacing with new ones as current ones are peeling off and may clog the drain. Property mgmt was appreciative of my input and offered to see what they could do while we were there. These were small details but they add up so I felt it worth mentioning so future guests will have an improved experience. It was on the higher side of what we normally pay for renting places but for London, it was probably normal.

"Superb"
The apartment is great, basically but completely furnished. Location is excellent in an international lively environment, with a few stops to the city center for business and holiday. Hosts communicate like they are the helping neighbours, great!

Spacious , clean , close to transport and restaurants
What could be improved: You will receive entry details before you arrive, which will suggest that there is a key with a fob . There is no fob, which means you will have to call the host who will provide an alternative entry approach. Apparently the fob was due to be replaced, but having read other guest feedback it is evident that the fob has been missing for quite some time. Batteries for the air conditioning have not been replaced albeit feedback was provided by another guest weeks ago . This means that the setting is 25 degrees and you will not be able to change it .
The lock on the balcony door is faulty which means that you may not be able to open the door

"Lovely apartment & location, some teething concerns"
I liked the area, used to live down the road so it’s very familiar and convenient
The flat was clean and the bed comfortable
Overall looked like the pictures, finishing looks good
What could be improved: Major
(1) I didn’t find the communication to be great. The fob was problematic and frustrating, at some point was outside at night and spent 15 mins trying to get into the flat. Tried calling the host but no answer instead I got a text, I found that frustrating.
(2) The window in the bedroom let’s light in despite the blinds and I found that the light woke me up. Also not sure if its double glazed as sirens, loud noises are audible
(3) The ACs didn’t seem to be working but it could be that the remote needs new batteries.
Minor - there was a drying hanger in the living room that I think should be put away
Overall I think this flat has the potential to be great if these issues are addressed, even the ones I consider major to me, are issues that aren’t complex to sort. I’ll be staying there again in < 2 weeks and hoping for an improved experience!

"It was good. A bit of a noisy location."
Easy to access after receiving check in information.
What could be improved: I guess I failed to fill out the information so that I could receive check in information? It did create a bit of a stir after a 10 hour flight to London.

"Superb"
great apartment close to transit
What could be improved: Heating controls were not documented and took some figuring out. Host took feedback for next visitor so it should improve.
