Fabulous Flat!!!
The pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s a lot bigger than it looks! We love having two bathrooms (one full bath and one half). Location was perfect only a few blocks away from the tube! Felt very safe In this neighborhood. The host was very very very accommodating to early check-in and also allowing us to leave our bags in the apartment Since we had a later flight when leaving! Could not recommend this place enough

Wonderful neighborhood. Apartment was okay, but I'm not convinced good value for money. Smelled a little damp or musty; kitchen lighting flickered; bathroom was not up to standard. However, very good communication with property owner/manager. Would look for a different property in the future. Sorry!

Perfect base
Stayed here as a family of four on a recent holiday to London. The location is perfect with quick access to three main Tube lines to easily get to all the main London sites. We enjoyed many evening walks through the beautiful, quiet, clean, neighbourhood and up to Hyde Park or Kensington High Street. The flat itself was exactly what we needed. Large living space, two bathrooms, fully functioning kitchen with laundry, and we felt safe. We were able to feel comfortable immediately. We cooked from there (or ordered in), washed clothes, and watch tv at night after a day of sightseeing. There are tons of local restaurants to choose from. Also the host was very responsive when we had questions. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!

Great location...but a few quibbles
The apartment was as advertised and for two people, plenty spacious and a fabulous location. As the owners of a VRBO property in the States for 20 years, and based on stays elsewhere in VRBO homes, there are a few suggestions. Notes could help (or in the apartment notebook). For instance, we couldn't figure out how to turn the dryer on or how to turn the heat on in the bathrooms, the half-bath doesn't lock, etc.. A TV listing guide would be useful. I'm sorry if we sound like fussy Americans, as individually these issues are small. But it's fantastic location, reasonable mid-winter fee, and spaciousness made it a great choice. Apologies for the nit picking.

Spacious and Affordable Stay in Great Location
We loved our stay at this spacious and affordable apartment. Stayed with our teenagers and had plenty of room to spread out. Two bathrooms were great, a definite plus. The kitchen was fully stocked so we enjoyed some meals at home. The location is good and we had to problem tubing to wherever we wanted to go quickly. There are restaurants and shops a few blocks away, too, which was nice - we recommend Little India, by the way! We'd stay again if we return.

Kensington Flat in Great Location
A comfortable flat located in Kensington. The flat was perfect for a couple to stay in while visiting London. As another review stated, this is really a studio flat and not a one-bedroom. For a couple this works fine, but if you wanted privacy from two other people, that would be limited. The location was very convenient to the Tube and retaurants and grocery stores. Would definitely stay here again if visiting London.

Great, quiet street very close to excellent restaurants, museums and Hyde Park. If you are truly ambitious like us, you can walk back from the Tower of London along the Queens Walk for a large part of it. Definitely a great place for a couple to stay. Definitely try Dishoom for Indian food which is about a half mile walk. Gloucester tube station is less than 5 minutes walking. Great place and excellent location.

Great location and spacious property
We have visited London several times and always wondered what a basement flat is like. We could live in this one...spacious and light comes in the windows. There are two bathrooms, one has a shower. While it sleeps up to four, there is no privacy between the bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed other than some slats that divide up the room. This arrangement gives the place a very spacious feel. Kitchen only has small table for two. Larger table in the living-room area. Only a few blocks to the Glouster Road underground and many museums and parks are nearby - can easily walk to them. There is a gourmet grocery store nearby and also a very large Waitrose grocery store (next to the underground station). Good internet connection. And lovely neighborhood.

Lovely Basement Apartment
The location of this flat was perfect for visiting London with my husband and 2 children for 5 days. We used the kitchen for simple breakfast and dinners a few evenings to keep the trip more affordable. Comfortable king bed and the kids slept on pull out couch. The owner was very responsive when we inquired about extra towels as not enough had been left for a party of 4. We also took advantage of the washer/dryer so we could pack light. Great stay. Would book here again.

Disappointing studio
Love the location, and quiet neighborhood. BUT, this is a studio, not a 1 bedroom. There are numerous deferred maintenance issues, such as rotting and peeling windowsills in kitchen and door frame to half bath. Half the lighting was not functional in the kitchen, and many missing lightbulbs. The “heating” is woefully inadequate, and consists of 3 electric devices, one of which is falling off the kitchen wall. There was a pervasive foul odor in the flat, as if a drain was blocked. While the kitchen was well equipped, there are numerous chipped dishes and no kitchen linens, which I bought myself. The towel rails did not function, and this was reported on check in day and not fixed after 2 weeks of our stay. Sadly, although we love this location, we will not be back to this flat.

The perfect flat but for one negative......
The overwhelming overuse of artificial fragrance in the air (similar smell to chemical Fabreeze) of air freshener spray, flowery laundry soap and possibly dryer sheets. My husband is very sensitive to fragrance (he went out and bought two new pillow cases so his face didn't have to be so lose to the smell) and I am completely allergic- breaking out in a rash. Please, consider switching to fragrance free products and eliminating sprays so as not to offend anyone. This flat was so perfect otherwise. We did bring our own coffee. There is a pod machine but no pods. The size, quiet and wonderful neighborhood was top notch.. I gave this a solid five stars but please get rid of the smelly!!

Lovely and peaceful getaway
We had a great week in this basement flat! Bed is very large and quite comfortable, with springs and on the firm side. The space is roomy, tasteful and very comfortable, and the flat has everything you could think of. The shower was great, and the kitchen is sweet and very well-equipped and tucked away on the other side of the entrance - with low cavernous ceilings. The washer didn’t work when we were there and access to the communal garden unfortunately wasn’t available, but this seemed to be innocent errors that the host happened to not be able to resolve while we were there - I would still recommend this warmly - a few minutes walk from Hyde Park, a big Sainsbury’s and Gloucester Road Station.

Romantic engagement celebration!
The host arranged a surprise for my fiancé upon arrival...wine, rose pedals, chocolate and swan shaped towels. The flat was very roomy and cozy and safely located near a garden. Just a two minute walk from fresh coffee and pastries at Café Society. Also only a 5 minute walk to the underground station. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be out of the city for peaceful rest yet just a quick ride to downtown. Host was always available via text. Two toilets available and a full kitchen, washer and dryer.
