About this property

Beautiful Studio Flat Near Kensington Palace

A studio is in a nice area next to Kensington Gardens, 7 minute walk to Kensington Palace. Although it is in basement of a Georgian house, there is enough light and when it is sunny outside, it is quite bright. It was completely re-done three years ago and has all the modern facilities, including Wi-Fi, washing and drying machines, dishwasher, etc. The studio’s size is approximately 27 square meters.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, a freezer, a kettle, a Nespresso coffee machine, cooking pans, cutlery and crockery.
A separate bathroom has a shower. It is simple and modern.
There is a Anglican church in front of the house and if you don't mind, you'll be woken up every morning by the church bells that start chiming at 8:45am and strike every 15 minutes until 10pm.
The room has a King size bed with a memory foam mattress (180x200 cm that corresponds to 6'' bed). All the bedlinen and towels are included in the price.
There are 3 underground stations around, all 5-7 minutes to walk to depending how quickly you walk. The nearest will be Bayswater, then Queensway and Notting Hill. Walking across the park, you'll find youself at the Royal Albert Hall and near Exhibition Road with 3 great museums: V&A, Science and Natural History. There is a bicycle rent stop next to my place and another one just at the entrance to the park, if you prefer to explore London by bike.

Lovely apartment. Excellent location. The only challenge was getting our extra heavy suitcases down and up the stairs. Otherwise perfect for our needs. I would stay there again and pack light. Thank you!

Very convenient location
This property is in an excellent position for the tube station, supermarkets, things to do and places to eat. It is a stylish flat in a beautiful building, quiet and bright, enough space for a couple for several nights and well appointed with very high end appliances. The host is generous, leaving juice, milk and a couple of bags of crisps, there was also tea and coffee pods which we appreciated. There was a generous number of TP rolls and shampoo and shower gel too. ONLY downsides were the shower which tended to let a lot of water out but not too hard to deal with and the bed which had two very definite indentations, meaning that as long as you stayed in your particular groove you were fine and we actually slept very well! It wasnt lumpy or springy so by no means the worst we have had in several months of travel but probably time for replacement. TBH the position is so good and the rest of it pretty great so overall we would rebook if in London again.

Perfect London apartment
This basement apartment, tucked away behind a lovely private and well tended garden, was only a short walk to Kensington Gardens and it was certainly well located for our week stay in London. The apartment was exactly as it appeared in the photographs, comfortable king size bed, well equipped kitchen and bathroom and the high grade washing machine and tumble dryer were a bonus!! The metal stair-case leading down to the apartment was steep but very safe with non-slip treads and a sturdy handrail. Although we are in our 70’s we had no trouble negotiating the steps, even with our luggage. Upon arrival we felt very welcome as there was fruit juice, milk tea and coffee in the kitchen and a large but very quiet fan near the bed……frequently used as London’s temperature soared to the high twenties while we were there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider this apartment for future travels

Great Studio
I really enjoyed my stay and was very comfortable in the studio and the surroundings. The neighbourhood had every convenience close at hand - transport, shopping and eating options. Notting Hill was a short walk away as was Kensington Palace parklands. The studio was very clean and comfortable and having both a kitchen and laundry facilities was a huge plus.

Great base for exploring London
As others have mentioned this is a great place to stay when visiting London. There is very easy access to two tube stations and many places to eat within walking distance. Having a washing machine and clothes dryer was excellent. The king size bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of storage available in the studio. The kitchen is well set up for self catering. The bathroom has great storage. The water pressure in the rain head shower was less than marvellous but the hand held shower worked just fine. Wifi was excellent.

Accessibility Issues
We arrived after dark, with key code we were able to open the locked gate, tip toe around the large plant on the landing, then saw to our horror the steep unlit metal steps down to the basement apartment. It was also wet out making the descent with suitcases in hand all the more treacherous. Flat was clean and tidy, it took awhile to find the kitchen which had a teapot and a washer and dryer, microwave, hob, odd assortment of glassware. The bathroom was clean as well but the shower tray was a tricky tilt-a-whirl to balance on. And it didn't drain.The seating shown in the photo is all there is.There was a note attached to the front door asking residents to turn off the porch light which we did but found dangerous as winter in London gets dark early. Got the stink eye from a couple of neighbors who saw us quietly coming and going. If you are young and agile with little luggage this is the place for you.

Love the Kensington area!
Great place to stay in the heart of London. Less than five minutes from the Bayswater tube station to get you around the city. Bed was huge! Very comfortable after a long day of walking and exploring the city. Host was very communicative and easy to get in touch with if needed. Best amenity was access to a washer and dryer during my trip; life-saver for light travel!

All kinds of restaurants near this property, as well as grocery stores, two tube stations everything you need is close walking distance! The suite was cute and quirky, but there are steep stairs leading down to the unit. Despite being in the basement the suite got natural light from the window. We enjoyed staying here very much

Perfect Flat in a perfect location
This flat was a perfect location for my wife and me to tour London for four days. It’s bright, clean and quiet. Easy to get to public transportation and there are many restaurant locations close to the flat. Having the washer and dryer was ideal since we had just spent a week in Scotland. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to Notting Hill. We would definitely return

Unfortunate Stay
We never got the stove to work despite repeatedly asking the host to explain how to turn it on. She apologized that the handyman was on vacation so no one turned up to help. There was no explanation for operating the coffee machine, which we couldn't get to work. There was no salt in the kitchen, no potholder, the bedside lights didn't work. In was in a nice neighborhood but all in all, a big disappointment.
