We stayed at this flat for a week in early May 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The flat is very spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The beds were very comfy and the flat was equipped with everything we could need and more. It was great to have a fully equipped kitchen and with a number of grocery stores nearby it's easy to stock up on supplies and eat some of your meals at the flat - saves eating out for three meals a day. The flat is located on a pedestrian only walkway which makes for a quiet spot – no constant traffic noises to deal with. All the arrangements were made with Holly and she was very helpful and prompt in responding to any queries we had - she also left us notes and suggestions at the flat. There is also a cell phone for you to use during your stay. It is approximately a ten-minute walk to the nearest tube station (Gloucester Road) and from there you can travel on various lines to get you pretty much anywhere in London - be sure to buy an Oyster card. We attended the theatre on several nights and it was easy to get to Leicester Square to buy same-day, half-price tickets. There are three grocery stores within easy walking distance of the flat - Sainsbury’s is about three minutes away and there's a Waitrose and a Tesco Express right next to the tube station. Waitrose is a full-service grocery store and you can get everything you need there - from groceries to wine to health and beauty needs. There are also several internet cafes nearby on the Gloucester Road. Our first night there we had dinner at Carluccio's, an Italian restaurant close by. The meal was delicious and I would highly recommend the chocolate bread and butter pudding - yummy! Again, I would definitely recommend this flat to anyone visiting London. The area is great (we felt very safe, even walking home from the tube station after the theatre) - you can walk to the Kensington High Street for shopping (try The Muffin Man on Wrights Lane for a great lunch!) and Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. Thanks to Holly for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I and two teenage daughters spent 6 nights here and were very pleased with the location and accommodations. The apartment was clean, well-maintained and very comfortable. All information on the website was accurate, and Holly was wonderful in getting us settled and giving us information about the surrounding shopping and dining options, both of which are plentiful. The girls loved the nearby boutique shopping, and we all enjoyed the variety of restaurants and pubs in the area. We did not have a car and relied on the tube which was about a 7 minute walk from the apartment. We loved the neighborhood, and being situated on a private walkway made it relaxing to come "home" to after a long day of sightseeing. We would definitely consider renting this apartment again on another visit to the UK.

We had a great stay in this apartment, it was well looked after and had everything we needed. Its very child friendly and everything works well and the upkeep is good. What we loved was the location just metres away from the Fulham road, the 3 buses on that road take you everywhere in London and run constantly. There are several superb shops on the Fulham road, as well as great restaurants (Carluccio´s very kiddie friendly) and 2 supermarkets close by. The owners gave us good information and kindly let us stay longer on the day of departure. I would recommend this to a friend and will come back when we return to London.

Our family of five (three teenage children) recently stayed in this roomy, wonderful flat. It was so well situated and very comfortable.There was plenty of room to stretch out, it was close to shops, transportation and some wonderful restaurants. We only wish we could have stayed longer! The management was extremely helpful, recommending some great shops and restaurants for our family. We really enjoyed using the state-of-the-art kitchen to cut down on expenses and found that the living room was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of sight-seeing. The flat is in an extremely desirable part of town and located on a private street affording us a very quiet, relaxing stay.

This was an ideal location, very close to bus routes and central London, and on a nice quiet footpath. We really want to thank Holly for managing to find us this location when we needed last minute accomodations.

We stayed here 9/12-09 for one week and had a great time! The flat is clean and comfortable and on the nicest, most private street. Holly made everything easy and met us at the door right when she promised she would. Very pleasant and accommodating, and the flat was well stocked with everthing we needed. The location was the best-safe and close to everthing. When we get a chance to come back to London, we will definately check to see if this falt is available. Would highly recommend!
