Home Away from Home
This lovely property feels very homely with a lot of little extras provided. Location was fantastic for us and extremely close to a number of tube lines. We would definitely recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to stay again - more so in the cooler months as there isn't any air conditioning.

Hidden gem
This is a place worth finding. The address is tricky, but once found, it is a generous sized flat, that whilst very central, is as quiet as mouse. Maria greeted us, and was super friendly, and talked us through all the appliances. The place was exceptionally clean. The bonus is a king size bed. We spent 10 days, and we had walking access to 3 tube lines, and Paddington station. Kensington palace, and gardens is an easy walk away. You can walk to a supermarket, restaurants, and bars. Will definitely stay here again when in London.

A Quiet Gem!
We had a wonderful stay at this clean, quiet apartment. It’s very well located with restaurants, grocery stores and transportation links close by. Maria was there to greet us and also just a call away during our stay. I loved the private patio garden and how quiet this location was. There are a flight of stairs to go down to access the apartment for anyone with mobility issues. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely Bayswater Park Flat with Patio
Maria welcomed us into our 7-day vrbo, and was very accommodating to a couple extra requests we made - we would have been in a spot if it weren't for her. This vrbo is well-priced for its size, location, and amenities. The flat was spotless and had all that we needed..the beautiful patio was a bonus we enjoyed whenever possible. There are grocery stores, cafes, eating/pubs, tubes, parks all just a few steps away from the flat, all was very convenient and comfortable. Would stay again - Thank you Maurice and Maria!

A downstairs garden apartment with plenty of room and character. We enjoyed the small private courtyard and the quiet location. Great spot, so close to shops and tube stations, as well as walking distance to places of interest. Maria was a very helpful property manager!

Gorgeous flat in cool neighborhood!
This flat was by far the most beautifully decorated and equipped one of the many we have stayed in over the last few months. The location away from the more touristy spots made is feel like we were living there,, but it was still easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. The nearby supermarket was amazing, and we enjoyed the local pubs and restaurants. We wouldn't hesitate to return!

Fab apartment in a great location
Great base for a long weekend in London, the apartment has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Check in and check out was great with Maria showing us around and making sure we knew where everything was. The garden backs onto the park with the front entrance around the other side of the square, it’s very peaceful for somewhere so central. Arro coffee shop was fab and The Porchester pub great for a few pints. Highly recommended.

Great stay for a London-holiday!
We had a wonderful time in London staying in this lovely apartment! It's the perfect spot to discover all parts of the city, easy to get to the different sights and with 4 tubes and a lot of buses super accessible! The apartment was super clean and cosy, and the tv was great with the Olympics all 10 days on such a big screen! The only recommendation we have is a dehumidifier for the bedroom, that was a bit damp because of the hot and damp weather and made the room slightly damp too. But everything else was just super!

A terrific base for a London stay
We had a wonderful 2 weeks in Maurice's apartment in Bayswater. The location is very central to 4 underground stations which makes getting all around London very easy. The apartment is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything needed to self cater in addition to being close to a lot of dining options. The icing on the cake was how quiet it was. We'd thoroughly recommend it for a wonderful base in London.

I spent a month at this lovely, well appointed flat and will definitely be returning! The location is truly amazing - close to tube, stores, Hyde Park and restaurants.

Great location in London
A great appartment in a cool neighborhood in London. Everything is close by. The place is well equipped and the bed is most comfortable. Maria met us at both check-in and check-out - very helpful. One key point - follow their location instructions precisely. The address does not work well with Google. If you can get past that it is quite solid.

Great location and amenities
Great stay. Matches listing. I agree with the comfy bed!! Nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy nature(saw a fox and fed the squirrels). Kitchen has all amenities you will need. I would suggest owner consider a new sofa as very uncomfortable to sit. The single chairs are also stained so not very inviting to sit. The location is great to get around… close to stations and grocery stores as well as pharmacy and restaurants. The smell in hall going down stairs is not ideal but I bought a fabreeze spray and all was good ;) I recommend a stay here:)

Loved this flat!
We had an amazing time at this flat and would love to return! First, Maria (the manager) was there to greet us when we arrived and explained how to use everything - the best check-in we've ever experienced. The flat is very nicely appointed, and very clean. The bed is super comfortable. The flat is very spacious for a London flat - plenty of room for our suitcases (we had a lot of gear with us), the bathroom is large and comfortable, the kitchen is plenty spacious for 2 people and had everything we needed to cook some meals. We walked to Hyde Park, Victoria Station, Portobello Street - anywhere we wanted to get to, we could walk. The flat is quiet - I never heard neighbors and hopefully, they didn't hear us - we were quiet. Overall, just a fabulous experience, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Maurice

Host profile image
My wife and I are frequent travelers so we know very well what is important in a house : the location, the light, the comfort, the quietness, the accessibility. Passionate with music, architecture, design, art and gastronomy, we are keen to share our taste and experience with other travelers.

Why they chose this property

We love London. We have seen at least 150 flats before buying this one. A lot were terrible although quite expensive.
We fall in love with this one and the privacy that separate rooms offer. Many apartments in London have small beds. We wanted a king size. We love the quietness of the place which is really unusual in London, a very hectic and noisy city. The garden is fairly big compared to what we have seen.

What makes this property unique

Porchester is so ideally located that you can access everywhere very conveniently. Heathrow is at 15 minutes. All sorts of shops and restaurants are available day and nights the all week long, elegant or casual.
