Location, location, location. Perfect place to base yourself to explore London. Lovely and quiet, yet so close to everything. Only five minutes walk to Gloucester Road Tube Station,10 minutes walk to Kensington Gardens and 30 minute walk to Harrods. The unit has everything you need including ability to cook meals if thats what youre after. Would certainly stay here again.

Beauty in the heart of Kensington

Spend 9 days here and it was a spectacular visit. The flat was everything we needed. Having close proximity to museums, parks and transportation only made things better. Truly a gem in the center of the bustle of the big city.

We had a great experience in this property. It was very well located, safe neighborhood with lot of restaurants nearby. Gloucester Road station is just 3-4 min. walk connecting to the most important sights in London. Communication with Host was wonderful. Julie would respond to messages within minutes and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this property.

Overall positive experience. Despite being a basement flat, lighting in living room was very nice. Stairs down to flat are steep. A few concerns - Lighting in bathroom and bedrooms inadequate. It was warm during our stay and only one fan was working. Towels and sheets need an upgrade. Door in bedroom only opens halfway. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Julie was responsive. Kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have a washer.

Nice stay

A wonderful location with proximity to the tube and excellent restaurants and shops. The flat itself was pleasant but as some others have said, could be made nicer with some attention to details. Kitchen and bathroom were nice and updated. The bedrooms were small but did the job. I was surprised by the communication with the host as previous reviewers spoke highly of her prompt replies. We sent a few questions and didn’t receive a response. However, she graciously allowed us to check in early and after a long night of travel that was a wonderful gift. Overall, I would stay again especially given the location.

Our stay at this flat was perfect for our 3 nights in London. Although on the compact side, the flat was perfectly located in Kensington with easy access to everything we needed! We also used Julie’s driver recommendation for airport transfers and he was great. Communication with Julie was easy and fast. As others have noted, the flat could use a few updates to make it even better. In addition to new bedding, the rugs in the bathroom could use an upgrade. Outside these minor changes, the flat worked great for our stay.

Great location with cramped bedrooms

The flat was lovely and in a great location but the beds were against and the mattresses were old. The sheets were worn out and kept coming off. Other than that the basement flat was really nice and spacious.

Great stay for our family

We recently stayed in this London flat which fit our family of 4 great. The host was very responsive and the check in process was clear and simple. The location was fantastic, we found many great places to eat within walking distance, and the underground station is close too. Would recommend to check this place out if you are looking for a place to use as a home-base while you explore the city!

Great location - enjoyable stay

We stayed at this apartment for three days. The location is great - good restaurants close by. Hyde Park at the end of the road and easy walk to Gloucester Rd underground. There was enough room for the four of us adults and the apartment was good and clean. Communication from the owner was fantastic, reponse to our messages very promptly.

Spring Break in London

My two teens and I stayed here for four nights. Our trip was cut short due to circumstances outside our control, and Julie was great. She was very communicative and helpful. She also helped us connect with someone for transfers who was great! I wanted to make sure we were in a good, safe, quiet neighborhood. We could not have been happier. Close to the tube and markets and restaurants. Close to Museums and parks. We would certainly recommend Julie and her flat.

Nice cozy spot in great location

Good location near transportation, shops and restaurants. Flat was very serviceable, had good amenities (washer/dryer, dishwasher), was very warm (we did not need to put up the heat often). It was a relaxing place to return to after a busy day.
