About this property

Spacious Cozy Convenient place in the heart of South Kensington

An absolutely stunning one bedroom apartment set on the second floor of a Point West Appartment block in the heart of South Kensington.
The apartment is furnished immaculately with style and elegance with superb furnishings. Tall and large windows give this already spacious apartment a sense of grandeur and elegance. Stay in one of the finest locations in London and I am sure you will feel Home being Away.

The flat has a superb location with only 3 minutes walk to the Gloucester Road station. Natural History Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal College of Music, Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park all 5-7 min. walk away.

Tidy, charming, convenient flat in So. Kensington

Having utilized VRBO for multiple past London trips, this place was at the top. Clean, well appointed, stocked with ALL the basics, a 5-7 minute walk to Circle/District/Picadilly lines at the Gloucester Road Tube station, quiet, and a host that is prompt and communicative, you'll not find a better value for your pounds in central London. Only caveat: with its stairway entrance off the main entry door, this flat would not be ideal for anyone with accessibility issues.

Wonderful property and fabulous host

I had a great time staying in Irina’s accommodation. Irina was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, she messaged me a few days earlier with the check in details, met me at the property to show me around, but was also respectful of my privacy and space for the duration of my stay. Her house was well equipped with kitchenware and bath items, extremely clean, spacious, full of light, and in a great location. The only recommendation I could provide is to add 1-2 more fans, as I stayed during an abnormal heatwave in London and it was a bit hot during the day. That being said, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation for anyone interested in staying in a quiet part of London, that’s still central and close to public transportation.

Wonderful apartment and convenient location

This apartment is so clean and bright! There is a steep set of stairs to go down right inside the door, so make sure you are okay with stairs. Once downstairs, the apartment is wonderful. Spacious, bright, clean, and comfortable. The bed is definitely big enough for two. There’s a tub/shower combo, and the balcony is lovely for morning or afternoon tea. Irina was very responsive and sent us lots of recommendations for local restaurants. There are 3 places for groceries nearby, and the tube is a 5-7 minute walk from the apartment. I will definitely stay here again when I’m back in London.

Great Place- Highly Recommended

We had a wonderful stay. Irina is a superb host- always available and very knowledgeable. The place has a great location- very close to the Tube station. It is quiet and you have a full living room and kitchen in addition to the bedroom. It is far superior to most hotels. I highly recommend staying here.

A TRUE GEM IN KENSINGTON

THE APARTMENT WAS PERFECT. VERY COZY AND COMFORTABLE. EASY TO ACCESS. IRINA WAS ONE OF THE BEST HOSTS I HAVE EVER INTERACTED WITH. NOT ONLY DID SHE GREET AND SHOW US AROUND THE APARTMENT, SHE WENT A STEP FURTHER TO CHECK IN ON US DURING OUR STAY AND MAKE SURE WE HAD NO NEEDS. THE APARTMENT ITSELF IS IN A GREAT LOCATION. IT IS SERENE AND SO BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED. VERY MUCH FEELS LIKE HOME. EVERY ACCESSORY NECESSARY WAS AVAILABLE FROM AN IRON/IRONING BOARD TO THE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED COFFEE MACHINE. SECURITY AT THE ENTRANCE WAS APPRECIATED AND ALL THE SECURITY FOLK WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMODATING. THE PROXIMITY OF A SUPERMARKET/SAINSBURY'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER WAS A TRUMP CARD. TOGETHER THE COMFORT OF THE APARTMENT AND IRINA'S 5 STAR SERVICE MAKE THIS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY IN A WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD IN LONDON. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!

A good choice for an apartment

We weight property owners just as highly as the property itself, and Irina is a good owner. As an aside, I will mention that we never rent from property managers. Why? Because they don’t care. They are not “vested” like an owner is. When you’ve just traveled 4000 miles and emerge from an underground Tube station, travelers need a little boost to get their bearings, and Irina was there for us, with directions, maps, and photographs of the apartment building .. and we didn’t ask for that .. she just sent it. It was very helpful. All of the descriptions of the apartment in past reviews are true. It’s clean, close to a Tube station, and there are many close by restaurants and grocery stores. Thanks Irina for a great stay. This apartment is a good choice.

Amazing apartment in a great location

This apartment in 10 times better than the pictures. It’s located in a great area, 5 minutes to train station with security guard. The apartment is very clean, tastefully decorated and equipped with all your needs. It has a cute balcony for your afternoon teas and has lots of closets with good size living room and bedroom. Irina is an amazing host, response quickly to all of our needs and questions. I would definitely recommend this place to all of my family and friends. Hopefully I will return back to beautiful London and will definitely stay here again. Thanks Irina for being such an amazing host and making our stay memorable Thanks again Mina

Wonderful apartment.

We loved this apartment because it was in a great neighborhood outside of the hubbub of things. Very close to the London Design Museum, which is wonderful, and great restaurants. Perfect, quiet apartment. Irina, our host, was helpful and welcoming.

Near Hyde park

Great location, lovely terrace. Although the view is of a parking lot. Next to a full market which was great. The elevator apparently gets stuck periodically, not with us thank goodness! But be aware. The apartment is large and wonderful accommodations
