Wonderful!

Comfortably homely - lovely taste !
I stayed one week with my family (3 kids aged 13, 11 and 8) and we just loved it. It is conveniently located to ride buses to key London sites, roomy for everyone to enjoy a solitary break at the end of the day. Convenience stores and shopping experience are a stone's throw away.
The landlords have magnificently decorated the house, cosy, homely, fully-equipped for sel-catering and indulgence.
A Must !!
Perfect Place for Exploring London
This was a very nice home, with a well appointed kitchen, good spaces to hang out in and very nice bedrooms. The artwork and books in the house give it a sophisticated feel. The owner was extremely responsive to any questions and concerns, as was the woman she's appointed to look after house. I would definitely stay there again. But I will reiterate what others have said - it is noisy. There is traffic, including ambulance sirens, right in front of the house. I am usually very sensitive to noise, but I used headphones and white noise and slept well. While noisy, the location is wonderful for easily walking to stores and restaurants or catching a bus or the underground to all areas of the city.
Great House, Host, & location...
We recently rented the house and we had a great time. The house is roomy for a London flat, well kept, clean and although we had an issue, it was handled well and the same day by the local folks managing the property for the owner. We are a family of 5 with 3 older teenagers and all over 6' tall, so not always easy to find a comfortable location. Overall we enjoyed ourselves at the house and in the local area during our first trip to London. However there are a few items that may help prospective renters:
* The location is convenient with some very good restaurants and pubs in easy walking distance.
* The house was comfortable but the twin beds have a foot board which is difficult for taller people.
* You are near a hospital and you will hear the ambulances regularly but not so much at night.
* As with most places in London, no AC so if its hot outside - it gets hot inside, then windows open but this lets in much more noise. Evenings cool down well!
* For 1st timers - do the Big Bus Tour and get a weekly Oyster card! Local bus stop is very close to the house make it easy to get anywhere in London.
Thanks for a great time in London!
Beautiful and well located.
Enjoyed our stay.
Perfect location and charming house
We absolutely loved our stay in this Chelsea house. We shared it with my parents and our two children. Everyone had plenty of space. The living room was perfect for a quiet night in or entertaining friends with a glass of wine, the kitchen was fully equipped and very spacious. We enjoyed leisurely breakfasts there every morning. The garden was a bonus and ideal for an Easter egg hunt on Easter morning. The house is very charmingly and tastefully decorated. If I could have a house in London this would be it!
Location and convenience in charming Chelsea
As four 'fifty somethings' traveling for a high school reunion of sorts, we found the home to suit our needs to a 'T'. The home is quite spacious and the master suite is luxurious even by American standards. We love the neighborhood and found it convenient for launching day excursions or just venturing outside. The proximity to the Thames cannot be understated and affords picturesque walking options, including to Battersea Park. Note that there are lots of stairs as this is a four story home, but all in all a fantastic option. I plan to return with my husband sometime soon and there would be room for one of our adult children and their family as well to join us -- with privacy. Two grocery choices and many restaurants/cafe's in short walking distance. Tube stops are a bit away (15-20 minutes walk) but convenient bus routes will take you quickly to the tube stop or anywhere in London. This side of London is closer to Heathrow and also convenient to day trips like Windsor Castle, Hampton Court or the lovely Kew gardens.
Map
The house is within walking distance of London's famous museums (Victoria & Albert, Science Museum, Natural History) and is conveniently situated for transport facilities (the metro stations of Earls Court, South Kensington and Fulham Broadway are roughly equi-distant, buses right into the centre run every 10 minutes from outside the house (20mins to Piccadilly Circus or Victoria). The famous 'Easybus' brings you directly from Gatwick Airport in about one hour to Fulham Broadway. There are several 24 hour supermarkets within minutes walk from the house. 20 minutes walk (5 mins jog) to Battersea Park and Cheyne Walk along the River Thames. The house is within minutes walk of many bars, eclectic and multi national restaurants, cinemas, galleries, a church, a gym (Virgin), shops, bakeries etc etc.
