It is a wonderful building in a location that allowed us to walk to many attractions, restaurants and the Tube. Francesca met us, and was very nice and helpful. The rooms are grand with nice artwork and the apartment is spacious; unfortunately, it is very sparsely furnished with uncomfortable furniture/beds, and lacking amenities that could make it a great rental. ##### Joan L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel F. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient and Pleasant Flat in Bayswater Near Kensington Gardens Francesa was wonderful to communicate with! She knew we were arriving in London a few hours before the check-in time at the flat and suggested we come by and leave our luggage so we didn't have to pay for a storage place. So that's what we did. She texted us later to let us know when the place was ready for us (earlier than expected).Tourists to London who rent a flat during their stay should be prepared to expect lots of stairs! Usually, these flats are in older townhomes that were converted into multiple flats. We were on the fourth floor and it was a lot of stairs! If you have difficulty with stairs, be aware. I don't usually see the stairs situation listed in the description for these flats but it has been our experience consistently over the many years we have been vacationing in London.Speaking of older buildings, the toilet had low pressure and did not always do the job when needed. Other than that, everything was comfortable.The location of this flat is wonderful! We were near the many restaurants of Bayswater and a short walk to Kensington Gardens.The flat was pleasant and clean. It was decorated with Francesca's lovely art. The big windows let in lots of fresh air which kept the place cool and comfortable. A nice stay! ##### Rachel F.

Don't miss the Portabello road market. A hike up stairs to the flat with luggage to a clean and charming flat. Comfortable bed and the small bedroom was perfect for our 13 yr old. It was simple and worked well for our family's needs! If you don't want stairs and creaky slanted floors (charm) then you may not enjoy a much as we did. Very secure entrance and safe neighborhood. ##### Heather L.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful flat in London through VRBO, and I cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The communication with the owner was seamless and they were incredibly helpful in providing all the necessary information and ensuring that our stay was comfortable. The flat itself is simply stunning - immaculate and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you could possibly need. The location is perfect, right in the heart of London with easy access to all the major attractions and transport links. Despite being in such a central location, the flat is surprisingly quiet and peaceful, with a wonderful view of the city skyline. I particularly loved the attention to detail that the owner had put into making the flat feel like a home away from home - from the great art ( I believe the owner is an artist) to a nespresso machine with pods. Overall, I had a truly wonderful stay at this London flat and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable base from which to explore this amazing city. Thank you for a fantastic experience! ##### Alex P. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S. 30 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great London HQ! Located in a great neighborhood with easy access to all of London. Tube stop 10 mins away on Queensway where there are many restaurants and shopping, and an easy 15 minute walk to Paddington Station where the Heathrow Express comes in (buy your tickets as one ways in each direction online, not round trip, at least 90 days in advance and they're dirt cheap). As indicated, the building is an old Victorian era structure, so expect some non-level floors and creaky floor boards. Be aware there are four flights of stairs, but bags slide down them easily on their sides when you leave. The flat is perfect for two or three people as the bed in the second bedroom is on the small size. The owner is wonderful. She is an artist, so the space is kitchy and ecclectic. She was a great resource and happily accommodated our need to drop bags and secure them due to a very early morning arrival and made it possible to come back later in the day to pick up the bags and keys to the flat. Thank you Francesca!!!!! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Scott S. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jenna d. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Kensington The stay was adequate for our needs but not at all suitable for four adults. The sleeping arrangements were particularly disappointing. There was only one bed that could comfortably fit two people, but it’s really only appropriate for a couple, not two friends. The other sleeping options included a single twin bed and a small, makeshift mattress placed at the foot of the double bed. This setup was far from ideal and made the space feel cramped and unreasonable for four adults. The living room wasn’t much better, as the couches felt a bit dirty and worn, making it hard to relax. The overall cleanliness was below expectations, and while the kitchen was functional, it was nothing special. Additionally, the place felt quite overpriced for its value. It’s a walk-up on the third floor, which could be a hassle if you have a lot of luggage. The floors were loud and creaky, making it difficult to sleep if you're a light sleeper. Overall, it served its purpose, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a group of four adults or anyone seeking a comfortable and quiet stay. ##### Jenna d. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Flat in Central London! Everything about this stay was fantastic! The flat is conveniently located near Hyde Park, Nottinghill and Paddington. Just moments away from Bayswater and Queensway roads, there are two tube stations within a 5 minute walk from the flat, as well as numerous restaurants, shops, a grocery store and fabulous bakery all within easy walking distance. There are a couple of very nice neighborhood pubs as well where you can drop in for a pint or a bite to eat. The check in process couldn't have been easier and Francesca was very accommodating and allowed us to drop off our bags several hours before check in time. The flat is as pictured and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. I was traveling with my husband and our 20 year old daughter and the flat was the perfect size for us. There are several flights of stairs up to the flat so this would not be a good choice for someone with mobility issues. The common area/ staircases leading up to the flat are a little worn and could use some TLC, but the flat itself is lovely and extremely comfortable. If you are an art lover, you will enjoy the many lovely pictures throughout the flat! The area is very safe and we were never concerned even walking back from the tube later in the evening. We would definitely stay here again and this property gets 5 stars for location, appearance, comfort and ease of communication with the owner! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Wembley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Wembley.h4921092.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Richmond-Harbour-Hotel-Spa.h10269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Angel Islington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Angel-Islington.h436270.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Chelsea-Harbour-Hotel.h16413.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Greenwich.h519817.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [London Marriott Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Marriott-Hotel-Regents-Park.h4481.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Park Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Park-Royal.h15118023.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-New-Providence-Wharf-Hotel.h1658062.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-London.h48879811.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft London Excel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aloft-London-Excel.h4292527.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Stratford.h19544649.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Canary Wharf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Canary-Wharf-Hotel.h16181347.Hotel-Information)
