The location is absolutely fantastic, and Franky Says was always reachable, replied quickly and genuinely tried to help, though not always successfully. Internet: Despite the advertised “high-speed” connection, tests showed only 1–15 Mbps. Even a simple YouTube video often buffered and left little bandwidth for anything else. We frequently had to use mobile data. Bathrooms: Problems with heating and hot water were not fully resolved despite repair attempts. There were several other inconveniences during our stay, which we won't detail individually here. Future guests should know that the windows offer little sound insulation: street conversations and noise are clearly audible, even at night. Having to contact the host almost daily was frustrating, despite their helpful attitude. Given the price, we expected a higher standard and a more relaxing stay. The property did not fully meet its description or our expectations.

Great location, lovely house and very well equipped. Lots of Harry Potter theme tours outside the house, at various times, but it actually made the stay even more enjoyable. Walkable, in just a couple of minutes, into Covent Garden and Leicester Square. Only let down was some confusion over key collection code. We ended up with three different codes, but got the keys as planned. LOTS of bars, restaurants, shops and things to see within easy walking distance and right in the middle of the Covent Garden theatres.

Highly recommended, the apartment is very close to restaurants and the tower on the corner. My family and I were very happy with the place, and Franky was always on top of everything, very friendly and helpful if you're looking for a nice, comfortable place for your stay, look no further, this is the place

Great location. Tiny rooms, 3 levels of stairs. Tiny bathrooms. No AC, blistering hot during summer, near impossible to sleep.

It was great staying at Frankie’s. Even though it was a short one, help was always available and he was very responsive.

Host was always available and responsive. Location is amazing. Only downside is the tour groups that stop by to take pics and even knock on the door. But it’s part of the attraction and location. Would stay here again

This was a really cute place to stay. The theme was enjoyed by our family of Potter fans. It was located in a very central location. We were able to walk to many attractions. We also had easy access to the tube. Frankie was very responsive. We had a great stay! Thank you!

Great location, extremely clean. It’s amazing how much history one little alleyway can have. The apartment was so comfortable we could have stayed much longer. The hosts left us water, coffee and cookies such a nice treat. The Harry Potter theme is great although it can be annoying having tour groups come past and knock on the door and occasionally try and open the door. Was a bit scary for our kids. All in all a great place. I highly recommend.

We were delighted with this Harry Potter themed home. We had a few muggles stopping by outside for photo ops but it only added to the fun. Spotless, with modern furniture, fittings and appliances, with lots if thought put into making the apartment comfy and cosy, with treats on arrival adding a special touch. Great location in Covent Garden, vibey and within walking distance of West End, Piccadily etc. Highly recommend if you're happy to be part of the hearbeat of London.

This place is neat, but you should be prepared for what you are getting into. The residence is an extremely high-traffic area where tons of visitors are enamored by the Harry Potter filming locations. I suspect that nearly 500-600 a day walked to the front door to take pictures of the location, and it was very noticeable when trying to relax inside of the home. Super cool as a Potter fan! The home is 4 levels, so be prepared to climb some stairs, but its nicely appointed. There is no central air conditioning, but fans were included in each bedroom. I would 100% stay here again, but if you have any mobility issues or elderly guests, it might not be the place for you.

Beware of this flat! It is in the heart of Covent Garden, with tours running through the alleyway at all times of the day. We had tour groups knocking on the door, sticking their hand and peeking through the mail slot, and looking through the large glass window. The groups took pictures, which made us uneasy sitting in the common area. We also had homeless people sleeping on the stair that leads into the apartment both nights. We checked out of the flat a night early due to the tours, homeless situation and tight living space. If you value privacy, this is not the place for you.

Pristine accomodation over 4 floors, inc two double bedsrooms with en suites , a large, comfy sofabed in living room. Modern, cool basement kitchen supplied with complimentary biscuits and bottled water on arrival. Tea and coffee, shower gel, shampoo, conditioners all good quality. Lots of hotel quality white towels provided. Decor is furnishings modern with a bit of a Harry Potter twist in living room, reflecting the location on the original 'Diagon Alley'. Unbelievable location, minutes from Leicester Square, Soho, National Gallery Coliseum Theatre, Charing Cross Bookshops etc. Picking up keys was very straightforward via a local convenience store. I'd 100% stay again.

Location and apartment are both spot on! Very clean, super interesting decoration and great space over all. We travel with teens so multiple floors gave much needed privacy to everyone. Location couldn't be better super easy to walk or take a public transportation anywhere. We would definitely come back and recommend the place for everyone!
