About Maria
I am a post graduated female economist works in between countries. This is a flat for me to live in it. I did not intent to let it out. But, Since I spend most of my time out of London, I thought it would be nice other to have the benefit of it
Maria purchased this apartment in 2012
Why Maria chose Kensington & Chelsea
Good transport, Very good area, very safe, Clean, Comfortable and positive, Compare to other similar properties in the area, this is very cheap. Also very relaxing and positive.
Kensington's Holland Park area is one of the best part of London.
What makes this apartment unique
Area, the Location, transport and the flat itself. I just love living here. Especially in Spring I enjoy the blossoms in the road. I love being very close to the Holland Park, the Nothing Hill, the Portobello, the royal Albert Hall etc. All are in walking distance. Every body that stayed here loved being in the flat and, in the area. A female German solicitor, came to live here for 2 month and stayed 11 month until she went back to Germany. There are regular single ladies from USA and from Canada comes every year. There are several markets and shops just around the corner.

Wonderful!

It was a very good experience.
Maria was very accommodating and was very helpful if I needed directions or information about London. She respected my space . I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. She even gave me a tour of London on her day off!!
Everything you could want in a London stay...
As a 'Holiday Rental Agent' who handles a lot of properties in Australia, I really loved this flat/apartment. It is beautifully renovated, furnished, equipped and presented, with lots of thoughtful touches to ensure a memorable and delightful stay. As clean as a new pin with lovely linens and towels etc., the location is both convenient and safe. There are restaurants/cafes and a local supermarket/ off-license just around the corner. Maria very kindly collected me from the tube station (being an Aussie) and showed me around most hospitably before dashing off to have a mini holiday herself. Well done Maria. You had a very happy guest who will come back again to your lovely apartment.
Of the twelve places we stayed at in the UK, this was the best.
Conveniently within walking distance of the Olympic and Shepards Bush stations. Outstandingly renovated apartment with beautiful working appliances. The best bed we slept in during our 32 day UK travels.
A brilliant place to stay! Clean and comfortable ! Will stay again!
I was there for 3 weeks
Loved the Apartment, Great location, very safe, 10 to 15 minutes’ walk to vibrant shopping area of High street Kensington as well as Nothing Hill. There are plenty of places to eat in the area. The flat was extremely well presented, clean & tidy with fast wifi which is important for me. Although I was on my own, the flat will comfortably accommodate 3. I spent most nights eating out, however I did eat in a few times & found the flat is well equipped with all cutlery, crockery etc. Maria was there for only 2 night but I wish she was there more. She is very kind, quid and helpful. Maria made me feel welcome & her local knowledge is impressive. I usually pay significantly more for a small hotel room when I need to be in this part of London, but was pleased I tried this service. recommend this property especially for woman travelling alone. But very suitable for Couple too. I think I found my home in London . Than you Maria
Excellent location, Great price! fast internet, very clean!
Me and my husband booked the flat because of the location and price. We were a little worried at the but turned out to be Perfect for our need.
The flat has been nicely furnished very clean and feels like home. We had a great stay with all the facilities in the heart of London. Really close to all amenities and well connected by public transport to go everywhere. The Maria was not there when we arrived. Maria's assistant, lovely Lucy checked us in. But we were able to contact maria via whats up and email any time. She is really kind and helpful so I would recommend it to everybody..
Very clean, convenient to public transportation.
The apartment is situated in a very quiet clean neighborhood. The bus stops are right outside on the main street. Shepherd's Bay rail station is within walking distance which connects you to central London. Maria, the owner is very nice, she was there to meet us and orientate us to the apartment. If there is one negative, that I would comment on, is the fact that she stayed a couple of nights and dropped in periodically throughout the days. She tried her best to stay away but it is not like having an apartment to yourself. I think that when someone makes an inquiry, she should disclose whether or not she will be there during that time. In doing so, one will make the the decision to stay or not to. For us, it felt like staying with in your mother in laws'house ( be on your best behavior). Not ideal for couples who want alone time.
