For guests

Why book direct?

Booking on our own site means no platform service fee, and you deal with our team directly from the start. Payments are processed securely.

How does check-in work?

Self check-in. Step-by-step arrival details are sent before you travel, so you can arrive at a time that suits you.

What’s included?

A professionally cleaned home, fresh linen and towels, and a team on hand throughout your stay. Each listing describes the home honestly.

For property owners

How does the lease model work?

We take your property on a long-term lease at an agreed rent, then run it as serviced accommodation. Terms are set out clearly in writing before anything starts.

Who looks after the property?

We do — cleaning, inspections and maintenance between stays, with trusted trades on call.

What about London’s 90-night rule?

Entire homes in Greater London can be let short-term for up to 90 nights a year without planning permission. We track this for every home and plan longer stays around it.
