Sweet apartment near Kensington/Olympia tube station. We stayed nine nights and found this to be a restful refuge from which to explore all that London has to offer. Quiet neighborhood within a walk of several different tube stations makes it easy to get to Central London. We also walked the local area and enjoyed dinner at several local restaurants, a welcome respite from more heavily touristed areas. Beds are very comfortable and the sitting room is cozy with two couches ideal for lounging. Hosts friendly, informative, and responsive.

Great place to enjoy some quiet family time at the end of the day

We really enjoyed our stay here. The local eateries are fantastic and it’s a quick hop to the train station for getting around town. Very comfy beds, and a sun filled parlour to relax in.

This was a perfect flat for our stay! Comfortable, well maintained and centrally located. We especially liked that there was fresh milk and tea available on our arrival after the long flight.

Home from Home

We love everything about the apartment. It is the second time we have stayed there, and it is the perfect location for Olympia There are plenty of restaurants in the area and High Street Kensington is a short bus ride away. The apartment is very clean well equipped and Hugo is super helpful. It is also an interesting place to stay with magazines and good books. It really is home from home.

We had a great stay at Lizzy's apartment in Kensington Olympia. It was very comfortable and had a wonderful homey feel to it which is great when you're travelling for an extended time away from home. It's location is only a 10-15 min walk away from 3 main tube stations as well, making it easy to get into the city. We had a great time in London, thank you Lizzy

Comfortable, convenient home away from home

We - my husband and two sons ( teen and pre teen)had a lovely stay at this flat . So nice to come home to and relax after a day out . Beds were very comfortable. Great to have a washer and have our breakfasts in to start the day. Everything within walking distance. Precious memories made while visiting our daughter who is studying abroad and other relatives and seeing the sights.

Comfortable London Stay

Very clean and comfortable in good location, easy access to overground and comfy beds. Would’ve been good to know in advance that there was building work going on which caused some noise early in the morning. Overall, nice place to stay however little changes would’ve made a big difference.

Dear Aileen ... many thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed your stay, yes indeed we would have liked to know about their mini-renovation downstairs too! They are supposed to tell us about that in advance, but needless to say they did not. So we were a little in the dark about it too. We have given them a ticking off about that. And also to say we are also doing a mini renovation at our apartment ourselves next month to give the bathroom and kitchen a new look and feel, i'm guessing that is probably what you are referring to. But glad you had a good time in London town in any case. Kind regards, Hugo

In short: great host fantastic location roomy, well-appointed apartment a top-tier stay. Highly recommended if you want a nice apartment close to the heart of the city.We had a wonderful stay! The host was very easy to correspond with — quick, clear, and accommodating every step of the way.The location is wonderful. It offers excellent access to a nearby train station, making travel into the London Underground system (and other rail links) very convenient.The neighborhood is quiet. Our upstairs and downstairs neighbors were respectful and quiet — we felt very relaxed the whole time.The apartment itself is spacious, especially for a family of four. There was plenty of room to spread out. It’s also very well equipped for cooking: we were able to make several of our own meals with ease.

Why they chose this property

We always loved the fact Brook Green and Kensington Olympia have very cosy 'village' feels whilst still being in the heart of central London and with easy access to the rest of the city. There are two parks on our doorstep, Holland and Hyde parks, glorious in summer. You can walk to the heart of Kensington in 10 mins - so its very well positioned. It is fabulous for pubs and restaurants, very handy for tubes and trains ... and very easy for exiting London on the M4 or M40 motorways.
