Overview
Unusual apartment , very much a home, in a convenient, central location.
This extremely spacious and beautifully decorated apartment sleeping four has the feeling of a home and not just accommodation to be rented out. The colours are rich and sumptuous. The rooms are large and the feeling of calm and space that the flat offers is a welcome relief after a busy day’s sightseeing. A long passage leads to an area with desk, and to the cosy living room which, in turn, leads to a glass conservatory used as a dining room beyond which is the charming garden. One of the two bedrooms is at the back of the apartment looking at the garden and is extremely quiet. It has its ensuite bathroom (shower). The second bedroom is at the front of the flat and has big bay windows facing south – its bathroom (bathtub) is across the passage.. Both these bedrooms have queen size double beds (5ft or 160cm), and there is also an additional single bed. The kitchen is small but very well equipped.. There is excellent security, Wi-Fi, 32 inch flat screen TV . Earls Court tube station is a five minute walk away (both Piccadilly & District Lines). Excellent shopping facilities around the corner.
Sightseeing :
South Kensington (Natural History Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Science Museum) is a short bus ride, or two stops on the tube.
Knightsbridge (Harrods) is 3 stops. Piccadilly, West End theatres, Soho, etc is a fifteen minute tube journey on the Piccadilly line.
Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and South Bank activities are about a twenty minute ride on the District Line.
Tower of London a bit further.
Arrival Access:
Heathrow Airport: Direct access to Piccadilly line tube from all terminals with a 40 minute journey to Earls Court. You buy an Oyster card for all your Tube and Bus travel during your stay, with a one week travel card if you are staying that long.
Gatwick Airport. Take the Gatwick express to Victoria (they sell tickets in the baggage hall which saves time). Then take District line to Earls Court (4 stops). About 5-6 min walk to flat from Earls Court tube station.
Heathrow is 30-40 minutes by road. Gatwick 1 hour. It is possible (via Google) to pre-book a minicab to be waiting at arrivals.
Guestbook comments from the manager
We truly loved the apartment it was perfect for the 4 of us. Our family agreed it was one of the smartest decisions we made to stay there. It was so charming and comfortable; a great place to unwind at the end of the day. We had plenty of room to relax - tea and shortbread cookies before bed became routine for the week. The location was also terrific, very convenient to the tube, plenty of places to eat or buy groceries. We loved London!

- One bedroom is situated at the back of the flat and is therefore extremely quiet - you could imagine you were in the country and not in the centre of London! It has its ensuite bathroom with shower. The other bedroom is very spacious and faces south. It has its own bathroom across the passage, with bathtub. There is a foldaway single bed (80cm x 190cm) which can also go into this bedroom, should there be two people who would rather have separate beds. This bed is equipped with a second mattress to ensure your comfort. We prefer to have a maximum of 4 people stay in the apartment.

A quiet, charming, "very London" apartment
The apartment is charming, quiet, and well-situated. It is easy to get to the Underground and there's a quick food market close by. We particularly appreciated having all the London pamphlets at the apartment, it helped us to plan each day.
Old hard wood creaky floors, good character. Good charm
Convenient. Clean. Well supplied. A bit dark but then it is a garden flat. Charming old world feel.
Lovely Garden Apartment
I recently booked this apartment for a 10 day stay with a friend and very much enjoyed it! The location is wonderful--convenient to the tube and whatever services are needed. The decor is fun and eclectic and the flat is well laid out with one bedroom in front and the other, with the common rooms in between.. The kitchen is well supplied with whatever you might need. The home was impeccably clean, which was much appreciated! It's also a wonderful neighborhood for walking.
and it really feels like home
We were very happy with the space and location.
I understand that one does not want to use valuable furniture, but the chairs were awful- like sitting on toilets. Should tell future clients that the hot and cold water are backwards in the back bath. Everything else worked well. Again- great location.
We would stay again...it felt very homey.
Conveniently located near markets, bakeries, and pubs, this cozy flat embraces you in rich color vintage decor.
Very convenient and well equipped property with lots of character.
Stayed a week at this very comfortable property. Well located 5 mins walk from Earls Court station with lots of convenience stores, restaurants and pubs very close. Property very well equipped with lots of cooking utensils, good washing machine and dryer and also had loads of character with traditional furnishings and quirky decoration. Property was clean and had the few things we needed to settle in (milk, tea, coffee, washing detergents etc). Stayed in middle of winter and heating was very efficient. Would stay there again. Owner and manager were very helpful and courteous.
Map
The prestigious Earls Court Square is a very quiet residential area minutes away from the closest underground (tube) station, Earls Court, which is on both the District and Picadilly lines thus offering very quick access to all the main London Tourist attractions and the West End with its theatres, shopping etc. For example, two stops away on the Picadilly line, less than ten minutes, is South Kensington (Natural History Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum). Three stops finds you in Knightsbridge (Harrods). And so on. There are also plenty of buses. Around the corner from the flat, in Earls Court Road, you find all manner of food shops (a Marks & Spencer food shop is minutes away and open until 11pm), small supermarket, chemists including a Boots, stationary, post office, 2 banks, laundry, etc. Also plenty of restaurants, cafes, pubs and takeaways. A very quiet location extraordinarily convenient for a visitor to London.
We are also just 7 stops from Wimbledon for the famous tennis tournament (District Line, no change needed and trains leave every four minutes).
Earls Court Exhibition Centre is a five minute walk from the apartment.
The Olympia Exhibition Centre is a short bus ride away.
