SALE! Mindblowingly Stylish Kensington Mews House w/Terrace in Heart of it All!

Great great great stay! We could have not hoped for better. We LOVED the neighborhood, the local pub just aroud the corner, the different dining options a few blocks away. The booking process was perfect. I highly recommend London Perfect and the Middleton apartment. …

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas at this well-positioned property. We booked over a year in advance and throughout that time the communication with London Perfect, the team that manages this property, was excellent. They were very professional, courteous, and comprehensive.

The house is in South Kensington, a very upscale, understated, quiet area where a lot of embassies are located. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the Gloucester tube station.

The home was well appointed and very comfortable. The beds were a bit hard but the linens were nice. There was a problem with the TV that took a day to fix and also a drainage issue with the shower that we reported so it could be addressed. There was lots of hot water and the space was well designed. Even though there was the 3rd bedroom with twin beds for our 12 year old, he loved sleeping in the perch up on the 3rd floor. It's not a full room per se, but more like a comfy cubby that he loved and felt was his own hideaway.

The space looks larger in the photos and I have found this to be true of most HomeAway/Air BnB rentals. There was a small Christmas tree (very sweet and really helped set the holiday ambiance) and cozy blankets. The dishwasher worked well but the washer and dryer took longer to complete cycles than we were accustomed to.

The pub next door, The Queen's Arms, is not to be missed! The manager and employees are incredibly friendly and the pub itself is as authentic and off the tourist path as you can get. Also, the noise from the pub quiets down early and didn't interfere with our rest.

We did use Lushi, the driver recommended through London Perfect, and we were very pleased that we did. Like London Perfect itself, Lushi was easy to communicate with, prompt, and very professional. It was so nice after getting in from a trans-Atlantic flight to have someone meet us and bring us to the house. Also, the prices were comparable to a cab and there was so much more provided in service in terms of meeting us at the arrival area.

London Perfect emailed us with a neighborhood guide that was *very* comprehensive and helpful. Definitely take the time to study this before you go.

This was a fabulous trip that was successfully facilitated by this lovely home and London Perfect. Although there were some quirks as mentioned above, they were more than made up for by positives. We are glad we stayed at the Middleton.

Wonderful location, the pub next door was convenient

Great property and location and London Perfect was awesome!

Our family of five was excited for our first trip to London and even more excited that we had found London Perfect and the MIddleton apartment. It was the perfect size and location and we had a very pleasant booking experience with the rental agency,. However, as we unpacked and prepared to go to bed on the evening of our arrival, a mouse ran through the hallway and into our daughters' bedroom, hiding under one of the two twin beds. Our girls were horrified and refused to sleep in the room. So we spent a very sleepless first evening with two of our girls joining us in the very small master bed. We attempted to reach the rental agency for assistance removing the mouse that evening, but could find no after-hours number. The rental agency called the following morning and immediately sent an exterminator to deal with the issue. Unfortunately, two days later, just as we were putting our girls to bed, another mouse emerged in the kitchen. We once again called the rental agency and they responded the following morning that we "just needed to wait for the mouse to take the bait laid out by the pest control expert" and "to let the poison do its work." While we believe this was an unusual incident, it was a considerable disruption to our stay. At L3,500 per week, we expected and received a lovely accommodation. But having to share the apartment with rodents was unacceptable to us and we felt as if the owner owed us some degree of recompense for the loss of the one bedroom as well as the loss of the kitchen (we weren't about to bring food into the kitchen after noting mouse droppings under the sink). The apartment owner refused "on the basis that mice can easily enter a home from outside especially this time of year" and "it is something no one has control over." London Perfect responded much more considerately and offered a 10 percent refund at its own cost, which we appreciated. On the basis of our experience with both the owner and the rental agency, we would recommend the services of London Perfect, but would certainly not recommend the Middleton. The owner's response to the situation was not what it should have been and I'm guessing that the apartment's location adjacent to a bustling pub might account for the presence of mice.
