Perfect location with attentive owner
We had a fabulous stay at this sweet place. The location was awesome. The property manager was very attentive. We had a little hiccup because he was using a different service for cleaning and we were without some extra linens, but the owner was SO kind that he credited us for our trouble for part of our rate. I would CERTAINLY stay here again. It was the perfect size for myself and my 2 tween boys.

Seeing London
The location is great. Close to underground and easy access to taxis. Close to parks, grocery stores and multiple restaurants. I was traveling with my adult son so the two separate sleeping areas were useful. Access instructions were easy and accurate. Great place to stay.

Great flat in excellent location!
Great flat on 2nd floor. Shopping and restaurants close by with larger grocery store 6 mins away. Short walk to the tube. Across from pub but still very quiet in the evening. Although we stayed in the winter, the outdoor patio was great. Stairs to flat are a bit steep, but even with PD I was able to get up and down without too much trouble. We will definitely stay here again on our next London holiday!

Was a great place to stay. Area was good, walking distance to museums and restaurants. Maybe not enough plates and glasses. Some noise from upstairs tenant. Overall a good stay.

Beautiful flat & perfect location
Compact but airy and modern. The flat has everything you could possibly need with a bonus outdoor patio. Quiet neighborhood; walkable to Kensington Gardens, Harrods, tube stations and much more. Truly loved it — the host was truly wonderful, responsive, kind and supportive. Highly recommend!

Perfect Location
We were ending our vacation with a couple days in London. This flat was close enough to all the sites to be within walking distance or a short tube ride. Nice clean flat. Checking in and out was very easy. The futon couch was a bit tight for 2 young adults to sleep on but they managed for 2 nights. You can hear the people in the flat above you. I highly recommend the pub across the street and the pizza shop up the road for food. The coffee shop nearby had delicious croissants.

Perfect location
All was as expected on arrival. Very clear communication from the owner. Flat was easy to find, close to the Underground, and there were great small and local coffee shops and restaurants right down the street. Beautiful streets. We enjoyed exploring Kensington and its neighborly feel. It was a welcome respit after busy days exploring more touristy destinations. Flat was clean and had what we needed and we enjoyed the little porch as well. Small and perfect for our London stay.

A/C was a godsend
The location is reasonably handy to the underground and is a nice neighborhood to go walking in. Accommodation was good and as described. As mentioned in the title, the A/C in the bedroom meant we could sleep at night in the 30 degree weather.

Amazing Location!!
We loved this Kensington place! We were 3 adults and it fit us perfectly. The breakfast just down the street was superb! We also loved how close we were to the subway system and was able to get to all main London sites within minutes. We had family come in from the suburbs of London and they equally could not get over how fabulous this location is! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!!

Wish we could have stayed longer!
This is such a wonderful place. The modern entry and hallway, the beautifully modern unit itself, the neighborhood, the bed! I cannot give this place enough kudos. And Mikhail was such a generous host: we couldn’t figure out the heating system because neither one of us had ever dealt with radiators before. Mikhail actually came over, showed us how to use them, stayed chatting with us while the place heated up, and didn’t even make fun of us. Bonus! We had such a wonderful stay. Thank you, Mikhail!
