Testimonials
“Great space and Etienne & Team were so helpful in all aspects from enquiring and answering all our questions to being super helpful on the day of the shoot. Will for sure use this space again, it was lovely”
Hannah G. · Director · London Client
“I rented this beautiful apartment for a Bridgerton-inspired afternoon tea and craft party, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The venue itself is newly refurbished, spacious, and absolutely stunning, everyone was so impressed. The kitchen was fully equipped with every utensil you could imagine, and the pull-out table accommodated all our guests perfectly. Although the flat is on the 5th floor and the lift wasn’t working, ETIENNE was an absolute lifesaver! He went above and beyond to help us carry everything upstairs, truly a godsend. Thank you so much, Etienne! All in all, it was a wonderful space that made our event so special. I’d love to use the flat again in the summer (fingers crossed the lift is fixed by then!). Highly recommend this lovely apartment and the amazing host!”
