The location is perfectly situated because it's close to the tube stops and you can take the Uber Boat anywhere in minutes. My flat came with a washer/dryer combo (which took some getting used to) and the full kitchen setup was nice. There was plenty of closet space, storage space, and the beautiful balcony views were my fav. Housekeeping came by once a week and they were just okay. I still felt the need to have my own cleaning supplies for when things were missed but they were always friendly and respectful. I felt very safe living here, walking around the area and the one time I noticed a domestic disturbance in front of the hotel, the staff checked it out immediately. I'd highly recommend staying here whether on the hotel side or corporate housing side.

I worked with Globe Apartments for a "short term stay" from mid-October to mid-November 2012. For…read more30 days I basked in the glory of a rather comfortable flat a few blocks from my office at 49a Chiltern Street. The only contact I had with Globe Apartments was the day I picked up the keys, which went very smoothly. In and out. Though no one really told me where to go (and after flying overnight and taking the tube for an hour, a bit of direction would've been very welcome)...but I found my way. Of course the day I arrived the lift was out of order, but by a stroke of divine intervention one of the building supers graciously hefted my heavier bag up to the floor where it did work and then got me where I needed to go! Bless him, all the staff I encountered were very friendly. So, this review is for the units at 49a Chiltern Street, as it were. The building has a lift (quite helpful as I was on the 4th floor!) and my arrangement came with weekly maid service, which was delightful. It wasn't terribly heavy duty, but nice to have the sheets changed and new towels...without having to worry where I'd find those items/do laundry, etc. There was also a washing machine and drying rack, and basically all of the creature comforts to make for a good temp stay. I even showed up to a bag of snacks awaiting me! Milk, OJ, cookies...a sort of strange mix, but hey...they were trying. A small fridge and kitchen was sufficient, and coffee and tea was available as well. However, Nnearby Nordic Bakery became my go-to for coffee and sustenance, but obviously this is very well located to Baker Street, shopping, dining, etc. Internet was great, lots of good TV, hairdryer, somewhat comfortable bed (comforter was super lumpy and mattress super springy!), clean, well appointed. What it lacked in size it made up for in cleanliness. Only complaint? The fire alarms go off all the time and the phone randomly rings at all hours. Not great when you are trying to work from home. All in all, a great temp place to stay and Globe Apartments seems like a legit operation. Would deal with them again.

Having lived here for nearly two years, I am probably Goodenough College's biggest fan. The college…read moreprovides accommodation for around 600 international postgraduate students studying in London. A great deal of emphasis is placed on building a strong community within the college, and there are numerous events which showcase the various home territories of the residents, as well as sports and social clubs where you can meet other members. The admission process is continuous, so it is possible to apply at any point during the year, but the majority of changeover occurs in September and October, at the beginning of the academic year. Admission is decided using strict academic and social criteria, with the emphasis being on admitting the most community spirited individuals, who will hold up the traditions of the college. There are a limited number of places available to couples and families, who live in apartments, whereas the majority of students are allocated single rooms. Both apartments and rooms are usually spacious and comfortable with good study facilities easily available. I would recommend Goodenough College to anyone who is very social and studying for a postgraduate qualification, it is fantastic.

If you're looking for a quiet, calm place to live whilst you do your postgraduate studies in London, I would strongly urge you to think twice before committing to Goodenough College. Before arrival: Goodenough College administration lost/was unable to locate important forms I submitted (per their instructions). This resulted in lots of wasted, chaotic time once I arrived. After arrival: Noise noise noise. The noise in William Goodenough House was, for me, completely oppressive. To elaborate - 1) The insulation is extremely poor in the building so you CONSTANTLY hear the plumbing (taps running, etc) and/or your upstairs neighbours plodding about. 2) Members with small children were mind bogglingly disrespectful, letting their kids run up and down the corridors like it's recess outside or letting them ride Razor scooters inside at 7.30AM en route to school. 3) Adults regularly have loud, drunken conversations in corridors at all hours of the night (weeknights and weekends). 4) False fire alarms go off allllll the time, from 2 in the afternoon to 3 in the morning. Also, the WiFi is so, so, so slow. This dial-up level of internet speed was in 2016 after Goodenough's hugely-touted 'system upgrades'. To be clear, after their 'upgrades' I could not carry on a Skype call or download papers from JSTOR due to the slow internet. Cosmetically the building is okay (but there are cracked mirrors in the lifts, quite a bit of damp in the basements, etc). The location is fine (central enough, but numerous muggings near Coram's Fields so be aware). The rooms, and their mattresses, are a bit tired (old beds, scuffs and nicks galore all over your flat). Take caution unless you're ready for a dorm-like experience 24/7.

The company does a good job keeping the units clean and a kitchen stocked with enough pots, pans, dishes and cutlery so you can cook your own food. Staff is very accommodating and helpful.

I contacted the management directly when booking my stay as they had told me that returning guests would get a lower rate if booked directly.

The kitchen included range top, oven, refrigerator, microwave and washer/dryer combination. Beware - even at the quick setting, it takes literally hours to do washing and drying, but it was still nice to have. The nearest tube stops are Earl's Court and Gloucester. It is near several grocery stores (Waitrose and Sainsbury) and of course it's near many pubs and restaurants.

I arrived early and was allowed to check in before checkin time... which was brilliant because I was TIRED after a 14-hour flight. The apartment was cozy! All amenities included! The neighbors were quiet (the neighborhood not so much, but I was there right around the Notting Hill Carnival.. which was mere blocks away... so the place was LOUD during that weekend). The staff was attentive and checkout was a breeze. They even offered to keep my luggage until I was ready to head to the airport (which was a 25 minute train ride away), at no charge. In short, cool little place! Inexpensive! Close to Bathwater station (just over a block away)! Oh yeah, I was also able to use the laundry room without having to pay! The only reason I'm not giving it a 5-star review? They had one of those great, rain-like, giant shower heads. Well, this particular shower head needed to be cleaned (lots of calcium deposits clogging the flow). But, in my book, that was nitpicking compared to how comfortable the place was.

Amazing end-to-end relocation service…read more We began our relocation in November 2019 shortly after my wife and I decided to relocate from Seattle to London. London Relocation had very positive reviews all-around and we have a very good first impression. The team was there to help from the initial intake until well-after we moved into our home. The company has a defined process with in-depth housing requirements to ensure they find the right homes, neighborhood and school district that would suit us the best. They searched and brought back a large (25-35) list of properties meant to give them better insight on our preferences. With all of this being done virtually, they took great care in returning a final list of properties, each one they toured before presenting to us. We short-listed about 5-7 homes and Shanti conducted detailed video tours of each place. They weren't pushy and didn't rush us to decide. On a few occasions, they slowed-us down to ensure we chose the right place. They went back to specific properties to conduct follow-up virtual tours. They made it very easy and helped with handling all the negotiations. It seems they have relationships with, or know, a majority of the letting companies in London. After finding "the one" house in Richmond we truly couldn't pass-up, they helped put an offer together, gave guidance on how much to offer based on the market and made it happen. We ended up choosing the house in Southwest London with all criteria being met, totally exceeding our expectations. They handled the check-in process and while we had to address a few unforeseeable maintenance issues with the property, they made it very easy, working on our behalf with the letting agent, to ensure all post move-in items were addressed to our satisfaction. I'd recommend London Relocation, especially those relocating with family and/or kids. They worked diligently on our behalf to ensure all our needs were met and that we were 100% satisfied. -The Rankin Family
