Ref: MBA - sleeps 4/5. Map

Important Note

Please note that we market these properties on behalf of their owner whose procedures and arrangements differ slightly from ours. We normally arrange for an airport pick-up - costs vary, typically £60-£85 depending on which airport and how many people - and the driver has the keys and lets you in (rather than being met by a company representative).

Normal check-in time is after 3:00pm although if the property is ready you can go in before this time. If you need guaranteed access before 10:00am the previous night must also be booked. For guaranteed access no later than 10:00am an additional £89 is charged.

Each apartment has a set of notes covering the neighbourhood shops, local transport, pubs, restaurants and cafés. Unless you specify otherwise, a standard shopping list consisting of eggs, bacon, fruits, croissants, baguette, cheese, ham, butter, cereal, milk, orange juice, coffee, yoghurt, ice-cream, chips, cookies will be purchased for you and placed in the flat prior to you arrival; special requests can also be purchased. The cost of these items, together with the charge to replenish the pay-as-you-go mobile phone credit will be deducted from your security deposit*. On your departure, with the exception of the bed linen and towels, you are expected to leave the property in the same condition as you found it, this includes properly washing and putting away plates, dishes and kitchen utensils**.
* Mobiles are charged/topped in increments of GBP10.
** If this is not the case, any additional work required will be charged at GBP22/hour.

You do still have access to the Coach House London Vacation Rentals telephone help line to provide you with answers to questions about London - what to do and see, should you need advice.
