Location is perfect

This was a good choice for our week long visit. Access to Tube, busses, restos, sites was excellent. (Recommend: Dishoom Irani/Indian restaurant). Spacious and quiet, though the bathrooms weren't as pristine as the pics indicate and the kitchen could use counter lighting, however these are small issues. I'd happily stay here again. Thank-you Vincenzo

Good location

The apartment is spacious, comfortable, in a great location and close to public transport. Bedrooms had plenty of hanging and cupboard space and the reception area has table/chairs and lounge Kitchen well equipped however needs brighter lighting as bit dull especially near washer. The outdoor garden space had outdoor seating but Nov weather was not ideal!! Vincenzo is a great host and highly recommend this property.

Great location to base yourself from. Felt very safe in this location, easy to get either Ubers or bus to see the sights. Communication with the host was excellent and he was very supportive. Highly recommend this location. Beds were very comfortable to sleep on it would have been good to have the option to split one of the beds in two so that our kids could have had their own bed each.

Great to have a lock box on premises, makes a check in and out process easy. Clean apartment, comfortable beds. A little further from center than we originally planned, but very nice location. Thank you for honoring our reservation at the place in Kensington :-)

Super fantastic location

This flat couldn't be more centrally located and in such a convenient place. So much nearby and super safe. You have to be prepared for the tricky stairs, but everywhere there has those, so not a big deal. Very worth it for the location!! Very spacious, quiet and well-appointed flat to relax after shopping and sightseeing.

Great locale

I chose the location because a friend was around the corner at the holiday inn, but we were all happy with it. Great location, clean and tidy. The washer was a great touch. Had a minor concern which was handled respectfully and quickly by Vincenzo. Good spot.

Comfortable and convenient flat

Very nice flat in Kensington. Very close to Kensington High Street and the Tube station (as well as Boots and Marks and Spencer). The photos and description of the flat were accurate. Easy to communicate with the owner via WhatsApp. The only issue I saw was the stairs down to the flat: they are made for tiny feet and are steep and definitely not appropriate for anyone with balance or mobility issues or schlepping a large suitcase. Other than that, the flat is comfortable and convenient.

Fantastic find in Kensington

Great basement flat with outside space in a perfect location for Kensington museums and Albert Hall and a less than 5 mins from High St. Ken tube station. Well equipped and really spacious. would definitely stay again on another London trip. Worth knowing that the spiral stone steps down to the flat are very narrow and steep, and likely to be a problem for anyone with mobility problems.

Disappointed

Unfortunately, this was our first poor experience with a property listed on VRBO. Although the property has ample space and the kitchen is relatively well appointed, the bathrooms were in bad need of updating. There was a lot of mold and mildew in back bedroom shower and both bathrooms'crudely built cabinets beneath sinks were falling apart. It may have at one time been like the pictures and description, but clearly has not been maintained.. As far as communication, it was fine once we checked in but we ended up having to contact customer support prior to our stay to get a hold of the manager or owner and get our check in information. Also, the entry into the garden apartment is tricky in the dark. The tightly winding black tile stairs are black and there is not a sensor light when you approach so the narrow winding staircase down to the apartment is pitch black in the evening... a member of our party fell going down those stairs on our arrival. Until this unit is updated and bathrooms brought up to standards, I would not recommend staying here.

Perfect location in a safe neighborhood. Stairs are a little tricky with bags but otherwise perfect place for two couples for a few days in London. Easy Tube access.

About the host

Why they chose this property

It won't take you long to realise why the area of London where this 2 bed apartment is situated is one of the most highly sought after residential addresses in the capital. It's a part of the city that attracts the high fliers, and those who appreciate the finer things in life. And here's your chance to taste that lifestyle in a freshly redecorated apartment.

Take the steps down from street level and enter through your very own front door into an apartment that your hosts have taken to time to style to impress. Both of the bedrooms feature double beds with high quality mattresses and bedding to ensure all guests sleep well. When you get here, be sure to use the bedroom storage space to unpack your belongings and really make yourselves at home. A unique feature of this home is that each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, handy for couples, colleagues or contractors alike.

The open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is a great space for relaxing and socialising. On those occasions you're not eating out at one of the many high class restaurants in the area, you have your own kitchen in which to prepare brilliant breakfasts, luscious lunches and divine dinners for yourselves. There's a dining table at which you can enjoy your culinary creations. Of course, it's a table that can double-up as your work desk if you're in London on business.

After working, or eating, you can move over to the lounge area and relax on comfortable seating and watch the apartment's flat screen TV. Another area in which you can all relax is the private patio that comes with the apartment. It's pretty rare to get outside space in this area of London, so be sure to make the most of it.
