Our London short term apartment rental is located in the heart of Kensington, one of the most sought after neighborhoods in London.
The location is ideal for a vacation in London, walk to Museums such as the Victoria and Albert, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, walk to the Royal College of Music and Royal College of Art, walk to Kensington Palace where Princess Diana lived. Attend concerts at the Royal Albert Hall or walk through Kensington Gardens direct to Harrod’s for shopping.
The tube is literally five minutes walk. Most consider this to be the most convenient location to get anywhere in London. It’s a direct line to Heathrow airport, to Westminster, the Houses of Parliament, the London Wheel, Piccadilly, the Theatre District Green Park and Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London AND St. Paul’s. You couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. Located on a beautiful, quiet street, guests can't believe they are in central London.
Enter the apartment from the side entrance to this old Victorian home. Find a covered passageway where you can store your suitcases and enter to a small entryway.
Straight ahead is the sunny living room which overlooks the award-winning front garden from two large windows. Decorated in pale creams combining antiques with modern furniture, find a comfortable and welcoming home.
The comfortable cream colored sofa faces a decorative Victorian fireplace with two armchairs facing it. The sofa converts to a comfortable double bed at night. Should you wish, there is a folding foam mattress available for other sleeping options.
The marble topped bistro table is on your right with seating for four. The kitchen is around the corner.
An antique mahogany desk sits between the windows, perfect for working on with free access to high speed internet. Find a large TV with multi standard DVD player so you can bring your favorite movies…or choose from our selection. A stereo with CD palyer is in the cupboard below.
Walk thru to the fully- equipped kitchen. The white cabinets contrast nicely with the dark gray worktops. There is every appliance and convenience you might need: full frig/freezer, stove, combination microwave/convection oven, toaster, coffee maker, espresso maker, pretty Italian pottery dishes and serving dishes.
The bathroom is next on the right, tiled in white with combination bathtub/shower, sink and toilet. The location is ideal because it can be accessed separately from bedroom or living room.
Continue down the corridor to the large bedroom, decorated in sunny yellows, with two twin beds which are combined to make a large dual king. There is a large closet, good lighting, plus washer and separate dryer.
We’ve installed a separate flat screen TV and multi standard DVD player so you can relax and watch TV from the bedroom. There is a beautiful antique daybed sits at the end of the bed for reading or relaxation during your stay.
The piece de resistance is next: find a set of french doors leading directly to the paved Italian-style patio garden. Guests love to sit out and enjoy relaxing here, or dining al fresco. It's difficult to describe all of the features of our apartment here, but feel free to go to our Londonperfect website.
You’re near the famous ‘museum row’, near to Kensington Palace, antique shops and more. Surrounded by cafes, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and stores. The tube is 5 short blocks with direct access to the Theatre District, St. Paul's, Tower Bridge, King's Road, Westminster Palace, the River, Knightsbridge, and most areas of central London. This is a very safe neighborhood, home to several well-known actors, Lords and Ladies and the American Minister.
This beautiful apartment makes a perfect home for you during your stay in London. Please look at the guest reviews on our website to read more!
