About this property

Ideally located between Gloucester Road Tube Station (1 minute walk) and South Kensington(2 min.) A newly refurbished, very quiet flat of 76m2 with open views onto Stanhope Gardens Square. Its a pretty Grade II listed building and the flat covers the entire floor (no noisy neighbours ). The pictures are not taken with special wide lens and I feel they speak for themselves. The flat was properly refurbished and decorated to high standard for my own children. Location is absolutely TOP.

Really comfortable and great location

The property is great. Yes, there are three flights of stairs but that didn't worry us! It is great to be high up with lovely outlooks. The couches and beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. The host left a couple of washing tablets for the washing machine and dishwasher - would have been great to have a few more (needed to buy a pack of 25 tabs at Waitrose). The location is PERFECT! Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay in Kensington

Angelika's home was lovely, clean and well-appointed. The location is fantastic, close to the Glouster Road station and walking distance from the V&A, Harrods, and Hyde Park. We were met by Angelika's representative when we arrived who was always available should we have any questions or need anything. We would absolutely recommend this apartment. Thank you Angelika!

Perfect little flat!

We had four of us staying in the flat. It’s super cute and well kept. Nice spacious kitchen and living space for a visit to London. The dryer didn’t really function well which was kind of a bummer but I notified the keeper and im sure they’ll get that fixed.

Centrally located, beautiful space!

This was the perfect stay for our five nights in London! The flat was impeccably clean, exactly as pictured/described, and stocked with everything you’d need to cook in (although we took advantage of all the great restaurants nearby). There were also little extras to make our stay more comfortable (umbrellas, outlet adapters, hair dryer, and use of the washer). Centrally located with easy access to anywhere in London but very quiet in the flat itself. Communication with Angelika and Bill prior to check-in was easy, and Bill was there upon our arrival to greet us. I’d happily stay here again and would recommend to family and friends for anyone looking for a stay for up to four people.

An absolute gem!

This was a very comfortable flat for our family to stay in. It's located in a lovely area with easy walking distance to the tube, grocery store and restaurants. We loved that it had a clothes washer and dryer! Bill met us at the flat when we checked in and instructed us on how to use everything that we would be using as well as establishing WhatsApp communication before he left, in case we had questions later. Communication with Angleika, the owner, was great through the entire booking process. I highly recommend this flat. There ARE a lot of stairs, as is accurately described in the listing.

Lovely apartment, perfect location!

Wonderful apartment full of character! The bedrooms were quiet with comfortable beds and pillows. It’s a third floor walk-up so be mindful if you’re a heavy packer! The property manager, Bill, was kind enough to meet us and give us help with our bags. We travel to London often and would stay here again!

Perfect

We enjoyed the cleanliness and convenience of this flat. It provided everything we needed for our short trip to London. The house manager was so accommodating and made the process to check in and out very easy. We had backpacks so the amount of stairs was not an issue. Will stay again.

Nice stay at cozy, really well located apartment

We had a great time in this apartment. It's really well located, the kitchen is very well equipped with pots and pans and basic cooking items (oil, salt etc.), it has lots of light, doesn't get too hot (and it was really hot a few days in London when we were there, so we were really grateful for that!), and the beds are very comfortable. Beware that it's high up and the stairs up to the apartment are not for the faint of heart. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Well presented apartment in great location

This is a cozy recently renovated flat in a great location. The 3rd floor walk up was not a big issue for us, but obviously could be with toddlers/infants. The upstairs neighbours can be loud in the evening - I would say this was the biggest negative - but otherwise this was a very pleasant flat for a short stay.

Lovely Lindon

We loved the location of this apartment. Beautiful/ safe neighborhood, nearby restaurants and bars. The apartment manager made special arrangements so that we could check-in late, which was greatly appreciated, because our train from Liverpool didn't get in until 9:30. Loved everything about this apartment. There are 4 flights of stairs to the apartment. Didn't bother us much, but beware if you have difficulty climbing stairs.

Beautiful apartment

Stayed here for a week. Perfect location - very close to both Gloucester Road and South Kensington station. Cafes, grocery stores and restaurants all a minute walk away from the front door. Heaters in living area weren’t working at the time but manager gave me warning - I used the oven instead to heat up the front room. Bedroom heaters worked fine. Beds felt like clouds so comfy! Walked to Hyde park and Buckingham palace on the first night as they are nearby. Overall, beautiful apartment for London and had a lovely stay.

Great “Flat”

Overall our stay was great. We had a few hiccups upon check-in, but those were quickly remedied by the owner. The flat is great, spacious and enough room for a family of four, with two teenage daughters to spread out. I used quotation marks on the word flat in my title because of the stairs. This apartment has very tall ceilings… which make it great, but it’s on the 3rd floor and all the units below also have very tall ceilings. That means a lot of stairs to climb. After a long day of walking around London, the last thing we wanted to do is climb five flights of stairs. It was a lot. Honestly, other than the stairs…which I don’t want to understate - they are a definite pain (literally) - Other than that the only complaint I would have is tight closet spaces and nowhere to store your luggage. It would be nice to slide an empty suitcase under the bed and out of the way but the bed frames go to the floor. So our luggage just sat out in the living room the whole time. It’s London and this building is over 100 years old. This flat is actually quite spacious for the age of the building. As for location, you honestly can’t beat it. You’re right near all the museums and between two Tube stations that will literally get you anywhere in London. The Gloucester station is a short 5 min walk and the Distrct and Circle lines run through it - which take you most places you want to go without switching trains. You will not find a much better area to stay in London.

Fantastic Location

The apartment is a quick 2 block walk to the Gloucester Rd Underground station which made it perfect for us to see all the sites in London. The beds are comfy and the pictures are accurate. It had everything we needed including laundry, which we appreciated. Lots of pubs, restaurants, coffee shops & grocery options within a few blocks. Short walk from the Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Kensington Palace and Gardens and Hyde Park. Only potential issue is the 3 long flights of stairs to the flat. This could be an issue for anyone with mobility problems. It was not a problem for us. We loved it and highly recommend.

About the host

Your host

We are small family with two children and a little dog. We have lived in London for 8 years and only recently moved to Vienna. We are not running a business out of this, but covering the considerable costs of maintaining a flat in the most expensive London district. I have bought and refurbished this flat for my own children and therefore it looks and feels like a real home and not some empty airbnb business flat. With its high ceilings and amazing free views it creates an atmosphere of space and calm which is rare in London. Location is absolutely TOP for touristic excursions.

Why they chose this property

Location is key in London - you do not want to waste too much time and money for complicated transport arrangements . South Kensington is one of the most upmarket and safest areas in London, meaning you can take the underground even late at night, and you will arrive home safely. You have all kinds of lovely cafes, bakeries , restaurants and supermarkets in the lovely neighbourhood - as well as two major tube stations with red double decker buses leaving from there in all london directions.
And of course all the Museums, Harrods, Kensington Palace , Royal Albert Hall, Kings Road and Hyde Park, ... .are all in very close walking distance.

What makes this property unique

High ceilings, free views from all windows over Gardens and towards Chelsea .
The flat is in a small, quiet Grade II (historical) listed building, and covers the entire floor - no direct neighbours, quiet bedrooms , brand new double glazed windows,
decorated to high standard and very cosy , no gas boiler as we use high output electrical panel heaters and ....: location, location, location .
