Absolutely perfect

The flat is even prettier than in the photos -full of light and airy and full of plants. The shower was modern and had excellent water pressure and the bedroom was full of closet space. It was so pleasant that we caught ourselves calling it home rather than the flat. We had excellent communication with Maria, who was flexible about our check in time and responsive when we texted with a question. The location is close to the Holland Park tube stop on the Central Line, and that got us everywhere we wanted to go easily. the immediate neighborhood has various restaurants, a pharmacy, several groceries and other useful places. There's even an entrance to the actual Holland Park nearby -for exercise or just feeding the birds and squirrels. We've come to London several times now and this is by far our favorite flat. We'll definitely look for it next time we plan to be in London!

Living in London

The flat was so welcoming, I felt like I lived in London. Rarely when I have traveled have I felt so relaxed. The location is close to the Underground and bus routes. There are two pubs close by as well as a supermarket, two green grocers as well as two wine shops. I will return!

As Advertised

This flat is as advertised. It is a good size, clean, and neat. There is considerable light and air. The building is quiet and secure. The appliances are relatively new and function properly. The landlady is cooperative and friendly. The flat is within easy walking distance of the Holland Park tube station, a bus stop, shops and restaurants. You can also walk a bit further, through the lovely Holland Park, to High Street Kensington, with its shops, restaurants and tube station.

A lucky find!

I have just returned from a three week stay in this lovely flat. There are many reasons to highly recommend it. It’s in a beautiful neighborhood, filled with amazing homes, and right across the street from a lovely park. It is close to public transportation, both buses and the Central Underground line. There are cafes, pubs, grocery stores and pharmacies close by. The flat itself is comfortable, bright and sunny, with all you need to feel at home (full kitchen, washer, dishwasher, great shower, and a comfortable bed). Finally, the host (Maria) is awesome! She made me feel welcome and at home, so accommodating and generous. She was in residence while I was there, but she made it clear that this was my home and to treat it as such. We each did our own thing, and we got along wonderfully. I can’t recommend it highly enough, especially if you are a solo female traveler. It's a really safe area, close to everything - I feel really lucky to have found this lovely flat!

Expect the basics

Overall this property was exactly what we wanted. It was a good location for us. However we did pay a premium price without the everyday basics we have come to expect from a Virbo booking. There were no instructions on how to work the television. Throughout ore entire stay we had no hot water.

Disappointed

Clean and spacious with en suite bath and lots of bedroom storage. It was a nice area and the building was secure. That’s where the positives end. Terribly hot in the flat, only one fan in the bedroom, wasn’t able to use the living room as it was too hot. The dining room chairs were so flimsy and wobbly, they were unusable. Bed made so much noise. Disgusting, rusted shower shelf for soap. Towel hook fell off the wall. I was cooking, for the second time, when part of the electricity went out. The owner blamed me, accused me of running something that caused it. The only thing I did differently was to turn on the fan over the stove. I even went into her dusty closet to check the fuse box for her. She sent out an electrician while I was out for the day. She didn’t bother to tell me that the issue was resolved, I had to reach out to her. Then she accused me of flipping a switch that caused it. I didn’t touch anything until after the power went out to try to resolve the the issue. I watered the plants for her. I ran three loads of laundry with no problems. On the fourth load, when I opened the door, water poured out. I asked if there was a mop and she blamed me again. I had to use the towels I had previously washed and dried just to clean it up. The Holland Park tube station was closed 4 times during my 7 day visit due to lack of staffing.

Great location

I had a great stay at Maria's apartment. I had exclusive use of it for my 8-day stay in London. It's clean and situated in a nice neighbourhood, with shops and the tube within 10-minute walk. Maria was responsive to messages and gave detailed instructions as to how to get to the apartment from the airport.

Great Peaceful Location!

Just my husband and I stayed in the apartment and it was a sanctuary in our very busy itinerary. The location was great, just a short walk to Holland Park, a bus stop and train station, a hair salon, restaurants and quick shops and tree lined streets with beautiful historic architecture. The apartment is very peaceful and quiet. Great stay, hope to get the same place again.

Home away from home

My daughter and I really enjoyed staying at this flat - it was a great location, close to the Tube, stores, sights, and safe to walk at night. The flat was so clean, had all the amenities we needed, plenty of room to unpack and recover after hours of sightseeing. We had privacy in our bedroom and bath, but also were able to have time getting to know Maria, our gracious host. The washer and dryer combo helped us - especially my daughter who had been in London 2 weeks at another place and needed clothes washed! We would recommend this flat highly to everyone and hope to visit again.

Cosy accommodations near Shepherd’s Bush

Maria provides a spotless bedroom with queen bed, en-suite bathroom and access to the rest of her flat. Queen size bed was very comfortable and two pillows each was a treat. Easy walk to Shepard’s Bush train station. She is very helpful and the two restaurants around the corner (left out her door, then left) are worth going to, especially Cibo.

Great Stay

The flat is conveniently located close to a bus stop and tube station making getting into London quick and easy. After a full day of site seeing the flat provided a clean and comfortable place to relax. Maria was an exceptional host! If we had questions we were able to connect with her quickly. She arranged our taxi ride to airport which took a lot of pressure off of us on our last day in London. She made sure our stay in London was enjoyable.

A Fine place to Stay

We had a very good time in Maria's Kensington apartment. The website pictures were an accurate representation of the property, which was very clean and well organized. Our room had a high quality bathroom attached with an excellent shower. There was a charming small table in the Livingroom with two chairs overlooking the front courtyard, which was a perfect place to have afternoon cocktail hour. There were 2 good restaurants only steps away and a very well stocked small store with reasonable prices. Best of all, Maria took us on a walking tour of the neighborhood so we could orient ourselves. Very importantly, Shepard's Bush Underground station was a 7 minute walk which allowed us to explore all of London.

Away from the tourists

This apartment is clean and recently remodeled. I especially enjoyed the new shower. Maria was staying there while we were there and she helped us out immensely everyday. My husband and she had some interesting conversations every day and that was the highlight of his trip. The bus stop is just behind her flat and you can catch it and it will take you to Shepherd's Bush. For 23 pounds she can arrange a taxi to Heathrow. Maria was very gracious hostess. Twice she drove us to a tube station so we didn't have to worry about being late with timed tickets. We were very comfortable there.

Host profile image
I am a female economist. I work in between countries. This is a flat for me to live in. I did not intent to let it out. But, Since I spend most of my time out of London , I thought, from time to time, it would be nice to let out the in-suite guest room. So, not only my bills get paid, but also woman traveler can have a safe home away home..

Why they chose this property

A home away home. with very Good transport link in a Very good area.. very safe, quite, Clean, Comfortable and positive... Compare to other similar properties in the area, very cheaply priced.

Please read the review left mainly by single female guest
Kensington's Holland Park area is the best part of London to visit London.
Beside the convenient transport, buses to Oxford and hop on hop of bus stops, markets cafes restaurant and markets are are just around the corner.

What makes this property unique

Area, the Location, transport and the flat itself. I just love living here. Especially in Spring I enjoy the blossoms in the road. I love being very close to the Holland Park, Nothing Hill, the Portobello Market, the royal Albert Hall etc. All are in walking distance. Every body that stayed here loved being in the flat and in the area. A female German solicitor, came to live here for 2 month, but ended up stayed 11 month until she went back to Germany. There are regular, single ladies who consider my flat as their home in London so comes every year .
