Wonderful view

Alfi was a most accommodating host. He was at the flat to welcome us and show us around the place. The bed was quite comfortable and plenty of hot water. The neighborhood was quiet and easy access to the Underground. We also loved Alfi’s restaurant recommendations.

Apartment was well appointed, comfortable, & clean and LOCATION was great! We were able to walk to many sites - Royal Albert Hall, Museum of Natural History, Urban Barista for our day trip to the Cotswolds, to name a few. We didn’t actually use the Tube until our 3rd day and it was also a convenient 3 block walk w/ Waitrose grocery at the entrance- we traveled to Westminster Abbey, West End for a play, Kew Gardens and finally, Heathrow Airport without having to change lines. All very convenient. Alfi met us and pointed out various features of the apartment and also made some suggestions and had a map Of the area. All appreciated. A number of guest reviews mention the stairs as the apartment is on 4th floor, which is clearly stated in listing. Other than arrival w/ luggage and later carrying a case of water, the stairs were not an issue for us, but could be for a person with any kind of mobility issue. Overall, it was a wonderful flat!

Worth Every Step!

We had a wonderful stay in London at Alfi’s flat! I was in town for a conference nearby and a friend and I stayed for just over a week. Communication was exceptional from booking when he wrote to confirm we were aware of the steps mentioned in the listing. Alfi provided useful directions from the airport and met us personally at checkin. He took the time upon greeting us to provide maps and suggestions for the area, including some excellent restaurant recommendations. (Don’t miss Dishoom!) The flat was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect and we enjoyed exploring Kensington Park and the Natural History museum. It was also very close to the tube station for easy access to all major destinations. We didn’t even need to transfer at all. Would high recommend and would definitely return. Thanks Alfi for a wonderful stay!

The flat is really great and all wonderful in every way. Alfi the host was there to meet us to show us how everything worked. He was very friendly and helpful and was always available to answer any questions that came up.

Stunning flat in a perfect location

We have only the highest marks for this great experience. This is a perfect South Kensington location in a vibrant upscale neighbourhood with lovely cafes and shops, and close to major attractions and the tube. The flat is clean, classy and has everything we needed, worth the 92-stair walk-up (which, yes, can be daunting after a full day touring around London!). The bed is SO comfortable! Alfi was an attentive host and helped set us up for a great vacation. Don’t miss the Hereford Arms pub in the area, and make time for the Spitalfields Market to immerse yourself in history while shopping for great deals and amazing food. The Covent Garden market is also great, with plenty of characters and it’s fun poking through the small antiques. (Both are way better than Portobello Rd market in our opinion.)

Best location & stunning flat

This really is a lovely flat. The location is perfect just a few minutes walk from the Gloucester Rd Tube station, shopping and restaurants. The meet & greet with the host to pick up the keys was no problem. He was very helpful and quick to reply to any questions we had. Read the property description carefully as the hosts notes there is no lift! We were fine since this meant a good garden view and quite comfortable, well equipped flat. We hope to return one day!

Beautiful Flat in Charming Upscale South Kensington

This flat is in a beautiful, very upscale area of London with many shops and restaurants but on a charming side street - not over run with tourists (yet very walkable to heavy tourist spots). The flat itself is fantastic: very clean, newer appliances, everything in great condition (NO deferred maintenance, very efficient layout, lots of towels and extra bedding items, all of the apparatus in the flat works really well - door locks, shower, stove, oven, heating, windows, etc). Plus, the owner Alfi is outstanding: rapid communication, highly accommodating, very kind and easy to work with, does not waste any of the renter’s time on coordination, unnecessary details, etc). The flat is perfect for 2-4 people - ideal for a family. There is no elevator/lift which we actually liked.

Small but nice apartment in the heart of South Kensington. Very accessible and at the same time a great base for everything you want to do in London. Even on foot it is not too far to Buckingham and South Kensington is super as a district, quite relaxed and it is only 5 min to Kensington Garden.

Great location!

This place and host are amazing! Alfi responded promptly to any questions, and was helpful in offering helpful suggestions and tips for the area! The location is great for getting around all the sights in london, located a few blocks from the tube which is a great way to get around if your wondering, as well as a short walk to several locations! There are groceries, restaurants, and Starbucks just a short walk from here. For reference we are both ladies in early 30s so the walking and area was great for us. The flat is several flights up, it can be challenging to get luggage all the way to the top or all the way down. I’d recommend to pack light and have a great trip! Once you get to the top the flat is light and airy, with great views and quiet. This place is wonderful!

Great flat in Kensington

Very nice flat in a great neighborhood. 3 minute walk to a tube station and several major bus lines. . Many nice restaurants in the immediate area. Easy walk to Kensington Palace, V&A museum, Hyde Park, and lots more. Felt very safe. Liked the more neighborhood-feel of this area. There is no lift in the building, but if you don’t mind stairs it is perfect. I found Alfi, the owner, very responsive and helpful.

Great property; amazing location!

We spent 10 nights in London (first trip there). The location was fabulous! So near the underground and central to so many sites. The property had everything we needed and the washer/dryer came in very handy as we are light packers. It is a walkup, but we had no issue with the stairs. We would definitely return!

Flat has great central location, easy walk to Kensington Gardens, underground is on great lines for getting around the city on pretty quiet street for the heart of the city. Location is great also for lots of local shops, groceries and restaurants. Flat has just what is needed for a visit. Just need to be prepared for 96 steps that will put you up in the trees.

Lovely flat in a great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this flat! It was, modern, well-appointed, and only a couple of blocks from the Gloucester Road station. This made it easy to get around London on the tube and even Heathrow airport. This flat is located near many attractions (e.g., Kensington Palace, Victoria & Albert Museum, and much more). Plus, there are many restaurants in the area. The flat is open and tons of light flood in through the windows. It came equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable. There's even a towel warmer next to the shower stall! Alfi was amazing to communicate with from the very beginning. He responded quickly to all messages and inquiries. Alfi even had great recommendations about a market, Waitrose, a couple of blocks away. This is definitely a flat to consider for a stay in London!
