This is our third stay in this lovely flat. The flat is well appointed and is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the V & A, Natural History Museum and Kensington Gardens. Grocery stores, restaurants and the tube only 5 minutes away. After a day of sightseeing you will enjoy coming back to this comfortable flat.
Canât say enough about how convenient this flat is. Easy access to public transport, quiet neighborhood, and the space is much larger than the pics would have you believe. It is a basement flat, tho, so if you have mobility issues, the stairs to the entrance may be tricky.
Nice comfortable place in a nice neighbor hood. Near a Tune station, the museums, Hyde Park and all the conveniences you would likely need. Recommended.
We loved our stay at this spacious and affordable apartment. Stayed with our teenagers and had plenty of room to spread out. Two bathrooms were great, a definite plus. The kitchen was fully stocked so we enjoyed some meals at home. The location is good and we had to problem tubing to wherever we wanted to go quickly. There are restaurants and shops a few blocks away, too, which was nice - we recommend Little India, by the way! We'd stay again if we return.
Great, quiet street very close to excellent restaurants, museums and Hyde Park. If you are truly ambitious like us, you can walk back from the Tower of London along the Queens Walk for a large part of it. Definitely a great place for a couple to stay. Definitely try Dishoom for Indian food which is about a half mile walk. Gloucester tube station is less than 5 minutes walking. Great place and excellent location.
A comfortable flat located in Kensington. The flat was perfect for a couple to stay in while visiting London. As another review stated, this is really a studio flat and not a one-bedroom. For a couple this works fine, but if you wanted privacy from two other people, that would be limited. The location was very convenient to the Tube and retaurants and grocery stores. Would definitely stay here again if visiting London.
The location of this flat was perfect for visiting London with my husband and 2 children for 5 days. We used the kitchen for simple breakfast and dinners a few evenings to keep the trip more affordable. Comfortable king bed and the kids slept on pull out couch. The owner was very responsive when we inquired about extra towels as not enough had been left for a party of 4. We also took advantage of the washer/dryer so we could pack light. Great stay. Would book here again.
We enjoyed our time at this charming basement apartment. The walk to the tube station was perfect and a very quiet neighborhood. The only thing I would suggest is that the owner labeled all of the switches and outlets, it takes a bit to realize what they do and not all of them do anything. It would be so helpful to be able to know what were working switches and what aren't. Also make sure you bring a usb adapter for your phones etc. They have 2 usb ports but neither of them worked for us. They did have a converter on top of the microwaye for us to use which was helpful. Also be aware that the flat does not have air conditioning. We stayed in April and only one day it was too warm. Summers in London can get quite warm. They also had a fan there to use which we did use to keep air circulating. Hot water ran out quickly when taking a shower after about 7 minutes. I feel like I had to reach out to the owner several times with very basic questions. They had a blue folder that had some information in it but could save themselves some of the frequent contact by adding more information to that folder.
Wonderful neighborhood. Apartment was okay, but I'm not convinced good value for money. Smelled a little damp or musty; kitchen lighting flickered; bathroom was not up to standard. However, very good communication with property owner/manager. Would look for a different property in the future. Sorry!
Stayed here as a family of four on a recent holiday to London. The location is perfect with quick access to three main Tube lines to easily get to all the main London sites. We enjoyed many evening walks through the beautiful, quiet, clean, neighbourhood and up to Hyde Park or Kensington High Street. The flat itself was exactly what we needed. Large living space, two bathrooms, fully functioning kitchen with laundry, and we felt safe. We were able to feel comfortable immediately. We cooked from there (or ordered in), washed clothes, and watch tv at night after a day of sightseeing. There are tons of local restaurants to choose from. Also the host was very responsive when we had questions. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!
Good location, a short walk from the tube station. Nice area, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops nearby. Clean.
Property is an open space, no designated single bedroom. No hot water in lower restroom and kitchen. Heating comes from free standing units. Windows have welded bars across. Property is located under the stairs in front.
The apartment was as advertised and for two people, plenty spacious and a fabulous location. As the owners of a VRBO property in the States for 20 years, and based on stays elsewhere in VRBO homes, there are a few suggestions. Notes could help (or in the apartment notebook). For instance, we couldn't figure out how to turn the dryer on or how to turn the heat on in the bathrooms, the half-bath doesn't lock, etc.. A TV listing guide would be useful. I'm sorry if we sound like fussy Americans, as individually these issues are small. But it's fantastic location, reasonable mid-winter fee, and spaciousness made it a great choice. Apologies for the nit picking.

Disappointing studio
Love the location, and quiet neighborhood.
BUT, this is a studio, not a 1 bedroom. There are numerous deferred maintenance issues, such as rotting and peeling windowsills in kitchen and door frame to half bath. Half the lighting was not functional in the kitchen, and many missing lightbulbs. The âheatingâ is woefully inadequate, and consists of 3 electric devices, one of which is falling off the kitchen wall. There was a pervasive foul odor in the flat, as if a drain was blocked. While the kitchen was well equipped, there are numerous chipped dishes and no kitchen linens, which I bought myself. The towel rails did not function, and this was reported on check in day and not fixed after 2 weeks of our stay.
Sadly, although we love this location, we will not be back to this flat.
We had a lovely stay. The flat was quiet and cozy. There are plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance. We would love to stay here again!
The pictures donât do this place justice. Itâs a lot bigger than it looks! We love having two bathrooms (one full bath and one half). Location was perfect only a few blocks away from the tube! Felt very safe In this neighborhood. The host was very very very accommodating to early check-in and also allowing us to leave our bags in the apartment Since we had a later flight when leaving! Could not recommend this place enough
We have visited London several times and always wondered what a basement flat is like. We could live in this one...spacious and light comes in the windows. There are two bathrooms, one has a shower. While it sleeps up to four, there is no privacy between the bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed other than some slats that divide up the room. This arrangement gives the place a very spacious feel. Kitchen only has small table for two. Larger table in the living-room area. Only a few blocks to the Glouster Road underground and many museums and parks are nearby - can easily walk to them. There is a gourmet grocery store nearby and also a very large Waitrose grocery store (next to the underground station). Good internet connection. And lovely neighborhood.
Die Wohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Allerdings handelt es sich eher um ein Studio. Das Schlafzimmer ist nur durch einen an der Seite offenen Raumteiler vom Wohnzimmer getrennt. Das hat uns aber nichts ausgemacht, könnte aber fĂŒr andere relevant sein. Wir haben einen dritten KĂŒchenhocker vermisst, wir haben abwechselnd gefrĂŒhstĂŒckt.
Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und der Host sehr freundlich und immer zu erreichen. Gerne wieder!
We loved our stay in this quiet neighborhood only a two minute walk to Gloucester Rd tube stop, restaurants and a grocery store. The flat had everything we needed and was perfect for a couple. The host was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
This neighborhood is adorable, near everything and very close to the tube! Would highly recommend. Prefect for my husband and I and our two young kids.
