We had the most wonderful stay at Lucyâs charming apartment in South Kensington! The location was absolutely perfectâclose to the tube and everything we wanted to see and do. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of character, making it feel like a true home away from home. Lucy was an excellent host, always quick to respond and so helpful with anything we needed. It was the perfect place for our mother-daughter trip to London, and we would love to stay here again!
We had a lovely 3 days at this adorable apartment. It is perfectly located for everything you might want to do in London. Lucy was able to accomodate our requests, and was very easy to work with. We will definitely be back!
Beautifully appointed apartment with quality furnishings and fittings. Incredible location close to everything we could possibly have needed: transport, shops and food, yet still tucked away from the street and quiet. Plenty of space to relax, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the effort to make our stay comfortable, including the lovely welcome box of tea and goodies, exactly what you feel like after a long travel experience.
This home has been an absolute pleasure. It is exactly as it is described and then there are some additional perks that make it a great choice for a family or someone that wants tradition and an updated style within minutes of restaurants, a pub, and the tube entrance. Communication was professional and prompt. Truly, this home is one I plan on returning to.
Beautiful property in a safe neighborhood very close to the metro station to reach all the turistic spots.Lucy was very good to answer all my inquiries. Nice touch to find a welcome box when we arrived with tea and scones!The only downsize is the set of steps down to the front door, specially with heavy suitcases. Overall a great stay and we will come back!
Everything met our expectations! Very stylish with an impressive selection furnishings, wallpapers and fabrics. The communal garden behind is very attractive!Thanks. Lucy!
We had the most wonderful stay at Lucyâs beautiful apartment! It was the perfect space for myself, husband, and three young children. The apartment is clean and comfortable and is in the most wonderful neighborhood-delicious restaurants and only a stones throw from the metro stop and a bus stop. Lucy was so kind, responsive, and accommodating. We couldnât have asked for a more wonderful time in London!
It was located very close to the Glouster Road tube station. There were many restaurants and a small grocery store nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.
We had a wonderful stay at Lucy's apartment. The location was great - very easy access to the rest of London, walking distance to some great attractions and restaurants. The apartment was very clean, and had everything our family needed.
I loved absolutely everything about our stayâŠthe location, the accommodations, the decor. It had every comfort of home and then some. Our group was two adults and two toddlers, and the flat was perfect. Comfortable beds, zero street noise, dark curtains, well stocked kitchen, close to the park, museums and restaurants and incredibly safe. By the end of our trip, we felt like locals. I also really appreciated the flexibility of letting us check in early which dramatically improved our experience of international travel with small children. We will absolutely stay here again. 10/10
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. Loved the location, with many great restaurants nearby and the tube station just a short walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Our family of five (with three teens) stayed for a week. The location is amazing (convenient to Gloucester Road station, too), the apartment was clean, bright, and finished very well. Lucy was responsive and helpful before and during our stay when needed. Thanks!
This was a very comfortable and enjoyable spot for our family to stay during our visit to London. Itâs a great location and close to the Gloucester tube and a pleasant walk to Kensington Gardens and South Kensington. Itâs very easy to get to the flat from Heathrow using the Piccadilly line. Our teenagers did not enjoy the noise of the schoolchildren every weekday morning, but it helped us get them up and going in the mornings!
We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful flat. Itâs exactly what we thought it would be from the listing. Lucy is responsive and polite. The flat is well kept. Absolutely loved the area, tons of eating options. A small grocery store within walking distance as well as a the underground. Having the underground close by was a life saver, really have no reason for a car with the location of this flat.
Comfortable and convenient stay-- exactly as advertised!
We stayed for 4 nights to visit our daughter who was studying abroad. The property and location were perfect. A short walk to the tube station and grocery store for supplies, great natural light and high ceilings (even though it is a garden-level unit), and equipped with everything we needed! Our teens noted the beds were very comfortable.We would definitely stay here again!
My husband and I brought our three adult daughters to the UK for Christmas. We ended our stay in London at this VRBO in South Kensington. Lucy was very easy to work with and arranged for us to have a check-in that accommodated our travel schedule. She responded quickly to messages leading up to our stay and during our stay. The property is in South Kensington about a block off of a main street that has a grocery store, pubs, other shops, and a tube station. It could not have been more convenient. The property itself is in a beautiful, quiet, clean residential area. The apartment was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for and has plenty of space even for five adults. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the pots, pans, etc. to cook most anything. We cooked breakfast and dinner here on Christmas Day. We would stay here again without any hesitation.
Communication with the owner and entry instructions were excellent. The apartment was welcoming and comfortable. We spent four very cold days in London, and every day, we looked forward to returning to our warm nest. Everything was perfect, including the location near multiple tube stops and the neighborhoods with many interesting shops and restaurants. We were so happy in the apartment that we stayed in for a few evenings and had delivery and take-away dinners. I highly recommend it.
Our family of two adults and two tweens loved our stay at this flat. Location is perfect â short walk to the Tube, large Waitrose next to the Tube station, a Saintsburyâs about œ mile away; many restaurants, coffee shops and pubs (1/2 price Mezze Mondays at Comptoir Libanais, breakfast at Zackâs, Pizza Express on Cromwell Rd. for kids).
The flat is equal parts stylish and comfortable. Light filled, comfortable beds and linens (note: washcloths/flannels not provided, pack your own), the œ bath is a game changer for family travel, comfortable LR furniture, recently renovated so appreciated multiple outlets, excellent lighting with dimmers, it was a delight to return to after a day of sightseeing. Kitchen was well stocked, though we only prepared coffee and toast in the mornings. Electric kettle, espresso maker and a French press but no drip coffee maker so prepare for that; dishwasher was nice to have; never used the W/D but appreciated that instruction manuals for all appliances were provided.
As others noted, the flat is at basement level. We found the stairs leading down easy to maneuver even with luggage but older folks or anyone with mobility issues should take that into consideration. We also found the flat to be quiet, but we were out and about early each day so street noise and the nearby school did not disrupt us; we use white noise apps so if you are concerned about noise, just do that. Felt very safe in the neighborhood. Overall, just a lovely space.
Charming, modern, spacious and squeaky clean! This was an ideal spot for 4 adults and an infant on a long weekend in London. Conveniently located by the tube stop, coffee shops, Kensington Garden and Palace and the V and A museum. The host, Lucy, was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. Many thanks! We didnât want to leave.
