LibraryLover Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) In London? What website, where in the city, about how much you paid, tips etc etc. Edited October 19, 2013 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 We stayed in a hotel in London, but rented a flat in Paris through http://www.vacationinparis.com and it was just fantastic. Since you mentioned Paris as another possibility, I thought I'd give the link. Here's the apartment where we stayed, and it really did have an *amazing* view. We would happily stay there again. (They say this one sleeps 4, but some of the others sleep 6 or more, so check the other flats they have on offer...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 We did not stay in a flat, but I will make a recommendation just in case it is of help to you. We LOVED The Blades in the Pimlico area. LOVED. IT. It was reasonably priced, minutes from the tube, near bakeries and at least one decent pub, and has at least one, larger, family room (there may be two but I'm not sure). Our room was nice--MUCH nicer than the Corbigoe across the street (which I would NOT recommend). At the time the Guy In Charge was Kevin, and he was the epitome of the helpful, jovial, really hilarious host. When we were in London we had breakfast at The Blades (it's a B&B) and grabbed our lunch from a nearby bakery. We supplemented with fruit and veggies from the grocery store. We got our dinners to go from pubs (love that curry!) and ate back at The Blades--they were soooo accommodating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'm watching this with interest. My family is going to be travelling to Italy next fall and we're going to rent a condo/apartment/flat there. I've checked a few out with vrbo.com. There are quite a few choices!

Lux Et Veritas Academy Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 http://www.homeaway.com is a good site and several travel agents who work for us have rented on it successfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 We always stay with friends when we're in London, but to help find an apartment, you may want to check out this site. http://www.visitlondon.com/accommodation/self_catering/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 We stayed at Emperor's Gate Apartments about five years ago and it was fine. They used to have their own website for booking, but I can't find it now. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
