We were visiting for my daughter’s graduation and this flat was the perfect place to stay. It was clean, warm and inviting! The location can’t be beat! Centrally located and so close to the tube. It was so nice after a long day to come back to the flat to relax and get a good night’s sleep. The beds are comfortable and the flat size was perfect for our family of four. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and great value if you look for a 2BR at a reasonable price.Lovely place with 2 nice-size bedroom, the location is A and the neighborhood is stunning. We stayed for 3 nights and had all the necessities for the stay. There is a washer and dryer, dishwasher and enough kitchen utensils and cookware to stock up for breakfasts or dinners.It was very cosy and quite at night and the location allows for exploration of many of the London neighborhoods worth a visit, including Kensington, Notting Hill. Thank you for letting us visit!

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.

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.

Fantastic Stay

Our group of four (two couples) really enjoyed this little flat. Exactly as described in the listing: nice neighborhood, short walk to the underground station, lots of restaurant options nearby. No problems during our stay--had everything we needed, host kept us well-informed and was very responsive. Happily let us stay a few extra hours after our flight was delayed as well. I would be very happy to stay here again in the future.
