Your apartment was wonderful and has spoiled us for life. Everyplace we stay from now on will be compared to this. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked out great for the four of us and the large living room was a joy to relax in. The location is fantastic and all your information and tips were so helpful. We will recommend your place to anyone we know who will be traveling to London.

This property met all our expectations and then some. It is decorated to a very high standard, is quite spacious and very comfortable. The onsite property manager was very helpful which we very much appreciated as our luggage took a detour and Matt was able to assist with its eventual delivery. The location is exactly as described - quiet street with easy access to the tube, buses, a wide array of restaurants and the shopping opportunities are endless. The owners are great to work with – and very accommodating. We have stayed in many flats the past 20+ years when travelling to London- and - Our search for the perfect London flat is now over – We will be back.

Beautiful Flat - Wonderful Location

This apartment exceeded our expectations! It was beautifully decorated, the rooms were much larger than they appear in the photos and had every convenience you could want! The location was perfect on a quiet street with just a 2 minute walk to the tube station, shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner across the street at Sale e Pepe's which I highly recommend. Bonnie was very helpful and the whole process went smoothly. The house managers were very nice and helpful as well. I would definitely stay here again as it's the perfect place to relax after a long day of sightseeing!

The flat is fabulous, wonderfully appointed, and with every convenience. Everything works and is just as described by the owner. The location could not be better; it is near everything: Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, museums, the tube and bus stations. Food stores, banks, and a post office (great place to exchange currency) are within walking distance. The owner is gracious and flexible. We had a wonderful two weeks in this flat while visiting London and would gladly return another time.

An oasis in the heart of Knightsbridge

I stayed here with two friends after an energetic trip through China, Mongolia and Russia and it was all that we had hoped for - beautifully appointed, peaceful and handy to everything. In no particular order, we appreciated the luxurious bed linen, the friendliness of the caretakers and the owners, the information on what to do and see in the area and further afield, the spaciousness and general ambience of the apartment, and the feeling of coming "home" each night to our own gorgeous place in London. We can't wait to go back for another dose of London living.

We rented this apartment based on the recommendations, and by all it lived up and above our expectations. Fantastic Victorian interior and the location can't be any better right next to Knightbridge station, Harrods, Hyde Park, Sloan Street etc. etc. and not to forget the nice little cafe across the street. Can't wait to come back !

Wonderful Place to Stay!

When we first arrived at this lovely apartment, the décor compelled my six year old daughter to imagine she was a princess. This flat is classically beautiful, comfortable, tranquil, and located right down the street from Harrod’s, with Hyde Park only a short walk away. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room and listening to classical music after a busy day of touring. We bought groceries from Harrod’s food halls and my husband cooked delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen. We all slept very well here; probably better than any other place we stayed during our extensive travels through Europe. This was hands-down our favorite of all the places we stayed. The owner was wonderful to deal with; a great deal of information was provided about how to operate the appliances and TV, wireless, etc., as well as tips about places to go and things to do. In addition, the manager of the apartment house was extremely friendly and helpful. If you have the opportunity to stay here, do!

Excellent Flat!! The listing is an accurate description of the flat and it's facilities. The flat was totally ready for us when we arrived - neat, clean and very accommadating. Bonnie was superb to deal with and walked us through the entire process and made us feel very safe and certain of what we were getting. We had two adults and two teenage girls and the flat was the perfect amount of space. Nice living room with good space and a TV. The wirelss internet was good and we have three lap tops going at once with no problems. The kitchen was very functional and all appliances worked. Both bathrooms were good with very good showers and water pressure. No criticisms of the flat at all. The location is perfect - 1/2 block from Harrods, 1/2 block from Harvey Nicks - coffee shop right across the street, good restaurants within short walking distances. Most impotantly, 1/2 block from the Knightsbridge underground - great access to all of London. Enjoyed morning runs in Hyde Park, a short 5 minutes away. The location is very, very good. I would highly recommend this flat and we will certainly re-book this flat next time in London. Thanks Bonnie - the vacation was great.
