About this property

Spacious 2-bed Kensington flat with private patio garden

Nearly 105 sq m of classically furnished space on the lower ground floor of a Kensington house — wide hallways, real wood floors, a large living and dining room opening onto a private patio garden, and a fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom has a flexible zip-and-link bed (double or twins); the second bedroom has a double. Two bathrooms, washer/dryer, and shared communal gardens too. Gloucester Road tube is just around the corner.

The living room and dining room are first on the right by the entrance. The room is traditionally furnished with a sofa and two armchairs arranged around a large coffee table with good views of the apartment`s television. Handmade shelves play host to an array of books you`re welcome to read during your stay. The dining table and chairs have room for everyone to gather, and the table can also be used for work or games.

The kitchen is right next to the front door, so if you`ve just been shopping, you won`t have far to carry your bags. You`ll find high quality appliances and countertops, plus all the cutlery and cookware you`ll need to self-cater during your stay.

Tucked away, the utility room features a washer/dryer you can use to keep your clothes clean during your stay.

The master bedroom features a zip and link bed which can be arranged as a double or 2 singles — just let the hosts know your preference ahead of your stay. There is plenty of integrated wardrobe space for your bags, clothes and belongings, and the room has direct access to an ensuite bathroom with a tub with shower over, WC and wash basin.

The second bedroom is located at the far end of the apartment and features a double bed with a window overlooking the patio, giving you a pleasant view to wake up to every morning.

The main bathroom is situated outside the double bedroom and features a tub with shower over, wash basin and WC, just like the ensuite. Towels for guests will be provided in both bathrooms.

You have direct access from the living area to the apartment`s private patio garden. It`s an enclosed space that extends for almost the entire length of the house, with places to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet. Staying here also gives you shared use of communal gardens in the area — another great place to relax in the sun or shade.

Guests have the entire apartment to themselves. No parking is mentioned for this property.

Lexham Gardens is located just off the Cromwell Road, an area that brings plenty of the capital`s attractions within easy reach. There is a Wholefoods supermarket just a short walk away, making it quick and easy to stock up on essentials, and you`ll also find other shops and coffee shops in the area to explore.

Big attractions nearby include the V&A, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, Kensington Gardens (home to the Diana Memorial Fountain), Hyde Park (Winter Wonderland and summer concerts and events), High Street Kensington, South Kensington, Chelsea and the King`s Road, Kensington Olympia, and Holland Park — where operatic performances take place during the summer months.

Cromwell Hospital is also very close to the apartment, making this an ideal base if you need easy access to the hospital to visit a friend or relative.

Staying here gives you a wealth of transport options. Several London Underground stations are nearby — Gloucester Road being the nearest, with High Street Kensington also within reach. Trains from these stations connect you with all areas of London, including the West End, Theatreland, The City and Canary Wharf. If you prefer to stay above ground, you can walk, cycle, hire cabs, order an Uber, or catch one of the red buses that serve this area.

The apartment is on the lower ground floor, so guests should expect stairs down from street level. There is no lift mentioned. The master bedroom bed configuration (double or twin singles) should be requested ahead of arrival.

Wonderful, clean, basement-level apartment with a small walk-out courtyard. Great communication with host and excellent location for our London trip. My only comments are that it was advertised as two bedrooms, each with a queen/double bed. Only one room had a queen/double, and there other bedroom had two twin beds. Also, one of the showers was tricky to operated and water splashed all over bathroom.

This property was perfect for our needs. It felt like we were right at home in a perfect location easy access to the Earl Court tube station. My son was disappointed he didn’t have a travel fan but lo and behold Nick had two table fans in the cabinet for our use. The washer and dryer were a huge convenience and the beds were all super comfortable. Nick was an incredible host with quick communication and flexibility. As I travel back to London, this is definitely where I will be staying again.

We came over from New York for a family wedding. The flat was perfect. Everything was quality - comfortable beds, lovely bed linens and fluffy towels. Even though it is a ground floor flat, it had good light. And great location. Really couldn’t ask for more.

Super flat in a great location! Perfect for friends or a small family. Quiet andspacious.

We enjoyed our stay at the flat. It was cool and comfortable even in July, with all rooms opening on private courtyard. Well equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, nice furnishings including terrific new beds, everything we needed right down to the London guidebooks. Two blocks to Earls Court tube station, food stores, shops and restaurants nearby. What a find!

A magical stay in London!

What a gorgeous flat! There was so much space for the 4 of us to spread out and relax. Wonderful to have two full bathrooms for getting ready in the morning. The washer/dryer was a huge bonus as we could have everything clean for the next leg of our adventure. A quick walk to the Underground made getting around very easy. We will be back!

Great Flat for a London vacation

This is a great flat for a visit to London. It is in a very nice neighborhood, with lots of restaurants, pubs and grocery stores. A tube station a few blocks away. A longer walk, or quick cab/Uber ride away is a much more commerical shopping district. The communication with the owner was so good. Nick was proactive and responsive when we had questions. I would definitely recommend this property.

All about location!

This flat was very comfortable for our American family of three (two adults, one teen) for a week-long stay. Plenty of space for us to spread out and make ourselves at home at a fair price. The location was a short walk away from Earl's Court underground station with lots of dining and quick shopping options nearby. We had no issues while we were there, but the manager, Nick, was very responsive any time I messaged before we arrived and when we left. He arranged for a local greeter to meet us at the flat in order to give us the keys and a quick welcoming tour. This kindness was very much appreciated after a long day of travel stress. My family would definitely stay again!

Became our London home.

We enjoyed this flat very much and got into a nice groove coming and going. It was my husband & I and our two, almost men, sons. They got the master bedroom so they had their own bath which worked really well. It was quiet for the most part minus a few incidents here and there but we were never bothered and frankly liked the reminder of being in one of the world's greatest cities. It's nice to be in Kensington and have High Street so close but also the Earl's Court tube stop just blocks away as well. Nick was Johnny-on-the-spot for everything from beginning to end. I knew if I ever had a question, he would have an answer within minutes. They truly care about your time in London. All and all, it was sad to close the door for the final time as we parted for the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

Week long London Getaway

We had a great stay in our Lexington Gardens Flat. We are a family of 4 (2 parents and my two teenage daughters). The flat was the perfect amount of space! The kitchen has all Bosh appliances and was very easy to use. We ate out about 1-2 meals a day, so we always had at least one meal in the flat. The dining table in family room sat 6 people so it allowed us to have family meals or plays games! Having 2 full bathrooms was very important with teenage girls! The house was very clean and had hairdryers, extra fans, towels, and toilet paper for us, upon arrival. The location is lovely! Earls court Tube station and grocery stores are just a very short walk to your left! To your right, is the quiet and beautiful Lexington Gardens neighborhood with some really great restaurants!! It was very easy for us to use the tube from Earls Court to everywhere! Just a 3 block walk! Though the flat was quite spacious, the family room does photograph larger than it it is in person. Also, the flat was extremely clean, but it is an older building so there was some impact of that at the patio doors and windows. None of this affected our stay and we would definitely book there again!

6/10 Okay

Could be charming flat

The "bones" are good but there is a backlog of necessary maintenance and housekeeping issues. Patio not cleaned, missing light bulb in second bedroom, loose threshold at entrance door to second bedroom. Doors need to be readjusted so that can open/close properly and not need a wedge, which were not functioning. Greeter was not particularly helpful. There was a bad water leak (allegedly from the roof above) which needed a bucket to catch the water. Also there was a moldy smell in the master bedroom and the entrance hall. The heated towel racks in both bathrooms were not functioning. The legs of at least two dining room chairs had loose legs and need to be glued (a falling hazard). With a good cleaning, a fresh coat of paint and some maintainance the flat would be ""brand new" as the Welcome Document" stated. The location was quite good and near to underground station.

Great Low-Key Flat In London

We stayed in this London flat in April 2025.The flat is in the basement of the building and not on the actual ground/street level as could be construed from the description you will have to navigate steps down with your bags. The kitchen, baths, flooring, and lighting appear to be updated although some of the lights and light switches were broken. WIFI worked well except in the far corners of the farthest bedroom. The washer/dryer works really well and very intuitive to use. The television also worked well and was connected to cable (I think) because we didn’t have any issues watching it during down times in our holiday.Things to be aware of:1) The hallway lights are finnicky and if they do not turn on properly, they do flash/flicker at a rate that would be concerning to those with seizures. 2) We noticed that there is a lot more mildew/mold in the showers/tubs than should be. The owners should replace the caulking annually or twice annually if it is being used a lot. Maybe the cleaners can do something to mitigate the issue. It gives the appearance that the tubs aren't clean. Additionally, the hallway bath's sink drain is broken and leaks into the drawer below it. 3) There is a minor leak in the bedroom with the queen size bed on the ceiling, and one in the common living/dining room above the French doors. These leaks aren't dripping water but are highly noticeable.-----Overall we loved our stay and would recommend this unit to others.

Great location (walkable to Earl’s Court metro, Kensington high st), enough space for a family of four. However, we had minor issues in check in, the fridge isn’t good enough to keep milk ok for even two days (on hot days that matters if you have a family), and general condition of the flat needed upkeep. Host was kind enough to lend us different fans to help with the stay (flat does not have an AC). If we visit again, we will pick the same area but a different home.
