S.Kens Apartment in superb location Read my reviews

South Kensington. Superb light bright two double bedroom lower ground floor apartment. Key access to gated Gardens opposite the apartment.

WHEN BOOKING APARTMENT ALWAYS CHECK TUBE LINES. PICCADILLY FOR ALL THEATERS, DISTRICT AND CIRCLE FOR SHOPPING & SIGHTSEEING.
SO IMPORTANT!

49 BUS (4 min walk) TAKES YOU TO WESTFIELD'S MULTIMILLION POUND SHOPPING CENTRE PASSING KENSINGTON HIGH ST & HYDE PARK ON THE WAY

KITCHEN WITH OVEN AND CERAMIC HOB PLUS A NEW WET ROOM/WALK-IN SHOWER

ONLY 5 MINUTES WALK TO GLOUCESTER RD TUBE!!

SUPERB SAFE AREA WITH PRETTY GATED GARDEN OPPOSITE

WIFI IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS ALL THE UTILITY BILLS!!

ALL INCLUSIVE - NO EXTRAS

£300 damage deposit, returned if left as found

This quiet light bright two double bedroom property is located on the lower ground floor of a Victorian conversion.
The apartment consists of a comfortable spacious living room with feature skylights, MODERISED kitchen with integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, clothes-dryer, microwave, fridge oven & ceramic hob, toaster, kettle, cutlery, central heating etc.

There is also a TV and DVD player with miscellaneous CDs and DVDS as well as its own book collection, so you can curl up with a novel on cosy sofas after a day’s sight-seeing.

*The rental price is inclusive of all electricity and heating charges, council tax, towels, sheets and linen and also staples in the kitchen (tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper)*
Indeed this inclusive rate is unusual for a London apartment as most charge extra for taxes etc.
There are two compact double bedrooms with comfortable double beds. The wet room is new and it's fantastic!
The second bedroom is the bedroom I was using when the photographer came (hence slightly creased bedclothes!!) It also has a TV in this bedroom.
This room has a door leading to outside space. The outside space is small, but very useful for laundry purposes.

Bookings may begin on the afternoon of the departure date of a previous guest. However, if you have bags, you are welcome to drop them off earlier while the flat is being cleaned.

Access from Heathrow Airport couldn't be easier; take the tube directly to Gloucester Road on the Piccadilly Line, with no changes required. Takes about forty minutes. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express leaves every fifteen minutes to Victoria station which is fifteen minutes away by cab to the flat or 3 straight tube stops to Gloucester Rd tube.

Or we have a driver who will pick you up from Heathrow. His charges are:- £48 pick up from any terminal. £38 to drop off.

Location can not be beaten (check my reviews) with just a few minutes walking distance to Natural History Museum, V&A or catch a concert at the Albert Hall home to the Proms, the world’s great classical music festival.

Most important is the closeness to the tube with West-end theaters 15 mins tube ride. It's only a 5 minute walk to Hyde Park as well as Kensington High St.

I must stress that when staying in London, location, location and location is of the utmost importance and having 3 central tube lines will get you anywhere you need to get to in London without having to change lines.

Knightsbridge is close by with the famous Harrods, it's only a 5 minutes walk to Gloucester Rd tube.

The 49 bus (3 mins walk from the flat) takes you to the new billion pound shopping complex Westfield, passing Kensington High St on the way.

There are many international restaurants and bars in the area. Quality shopping at Waitrose and nearby Sainsburys supermarkets.
Check in 4pm - checkout 10am.

We will be on hand to meet and show you how everything works in the apartment. We will happily answer your questions and fulfil you requests in any way we can and can also hire you a car and driver to take you to and from the airport if required.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Great home base location!

This was a great home base for exploring London! What a perfect location! So easy to get to everything from there with public transportation. It was an easy walk to Kensington Gardens and the Natural History and Science Museums. Despite being a “basement” apartment, it was light and airy with all the skylights. The furniture was comfortable. The place was clean and everything was easy to use. We enjoyed our stay.

Kensington Gem

Glorious time in London. This apartment is ideally situated to access all the fabulous options London has to offer. The tube line had us anywhere we wanted in less than 30 minutes. Many options a 10-15 minute walk. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, out of the hustle and bustle of central London. Julie is a gracious and welcoming host, to her light filled well appointed apartment gem. The furniture, including beds, is very comfortable, the living areas all well proportioned. The bathroom and kitchen are also well-sized and fully stocked with essentials. Internet, television and climate control are easily accessed. Bonus is washer and dryer!Julie leaves detailed instructions and suggestions for your stay. She also provided option for a driver to customize transport if needed. Check in very easy.I’d stay here again and again! Definitely choose for your stay!

First trip to London

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had everything we needed, and if we didn't, Waitrose was very close by. The apartment provided comfortable and quiet nights of sleep. We were close to the tube station which easily got us to many sights, tours, and restaurants. We will definitely stay here the next time we come to London.

Great for family stay!

We were a family of 4 (children are 11 & 8), and this was perfect for us! It was just enough space, with great amenities. The location was perfect, a quick walk to the tube station (which has a grocery) and a lot of really good restaurants too. Julie was very responsive and we also used the driver she recommended for pickup and drop off at Heathrow, he was very friendly and helpful. I recommend both this flat as well as the driver.

Quiet Stay

The place was very clean. All amenities listed were present and those used worked. Fantastic Neighborhood, very quiet. My two concerns. Steps down to the entry door are steep, narrow and make a 90 degree turn. Being in our 80's we could handle the stairs using the railing--but taking luggage up and down was a problem. Our Daughter was with us and handled the luggage. Both Queen size beds were against a wall (in different rooms) limiting access to one side and the bottom of the bed.

Gorgeous rooms, elegant and convenient location

The apartment is perfectly located, across from a private park, and far from the noise of the busy streets nearby. Gloucester Road underground and Waitrose are 5 minutes away. The two bedrooms, very large living room, and remodeled bathroom are ideal for our purposes and we hope to return frequently.
