The only reason the review is a four rather than a five is because it was always so cold. Perhaps it was because the outside weather was very cold. Otherwise the accommodations were wonderful.

Great flat; great location

Very easy rental and check in; no issues whatsoever. I stayed with a friend last week and it is a charming place. It is convenient to markets, restaurants, and underground. They were very responsive to inquiries we had prior to arrival. Highly recommend this place!

Apartment was as promised and depicted. Had a small issue with one of the toilets but the staff was quick to respond and could not have been more accommodating. It is in a great location with several nice restaurants very near. Would gladly stay there again!

Fantastic Flat in a Great Area

We just stayed 4 nights at the apartment, it was roomy and had a lot of charm. It is located in a very nice neighborhood that is central to all transportation. The owners communicated very well and we could not have been happier with our experience. As a bonus, the flat has a nice little garden and is well lit.

Great London Flat

The flat is in a lovely area and a 10 minute walk from the nearest tube station. It is close to restaurants and grocery stores. Only down side of the flat is the master bath does not have a shower and the toilet is quite small (with carpet!). We would definitely stay again!

This is a lovely apartment in a fabulous neighborhood. The apartment is clean and has an excellent layout. It has everything one needs in the kitchen to cook in the home. The outside terrace is private and is a perfect for outdoor dining. During our stay it was unusually warm in London and our hosts made sure that each bedroom as well as the living room had fans. Our hosts also provided a local guide to restaurants, grocery stores and things to do & see. We would stay here again should we return to London.

Absolutely perfect!

This flat really is extraordinary; the style, comfort and the Chelsea location are all first class and the lady who rents it out is extremely accommodating and kind; I would say that she is the perfect landlady. We will definitely return and recommend to friends (although that may not be a good idea for us if it gets booked up!!). Thank you for a wonderful stay! Emma G

This flat is in a wonderful neighborhood with plenty of amenities. The flat isn’t especially sound proof but the neighborhood is quiet. The flat is nicely furnished and has access to a tranquil garden. The flat has one small shower, which is prone to flooding, as evidenced by a red letter warning in the flat that presumptively blames guests for any issues. In our case, we were unable to shower one morning because a fuse tripped (causing a draining issue).

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. I’m glad you enjoyed the furnishings, the tranquil garden, and the neighbourhood with its many amenities. I’d like to clarify a couple of points for future guests: the flat is in fact soundproofed on the top, bottom, and communal side walls, which means that when inside the flat you do not hear noise from neighbours. Thank you also for mentioning how the notice made you feel — I’ve since removed this, and I’ve made amendments to the saniflow/shower pipework so that it is no longer sensitive. The shower was never prone to flooding, though issues could arise if anything other than toilet paper was flushed. I appreciate the chance to improve, and I hope you enjoyed your time overall in this wonderful part of London. Best Wishes Van

Elegant!

What a lovely apartment! It was just as pictured and very comfortable. And, Ann Louise was accommodating to our travel schedule, making special arrangements for us to arrive a little early so we could change clothes and make it on time to our Afternoon Tea reservation. The apartment was a brisk 15 minute walk to Earl's Court tube station which was perfect for getting anywhere in London. On the way back from the tube we could pick up groceries for eating in or walk a block or two in the opposite direction of the station for some great burgers at Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Overall a wonderful time!

10 days in London

Great location in the center of London. Great space. The garden extends apartment. Very comfortable for our family of 4. Half a mile walk to the Earls Court tube station and we could get everywhere from there. The garage was very helpful ,as parking spaces are a premium. There was construction(you are in the middle of London in the summer) noise around 9 am ,but that actually worked to get us out of bed. Heads up there was no Air Conditioning,but we got along by buying a little fan. Would definitely rent this apartment again. Thank you

Beautiful, comfortable flat in fashionable Chelsea

My husband, son and I stayed in this lovely decorated flat the week of April 5. It has a large living area, adequately equipped kitchen (not that we used anything other than the fridge), beautiful garden, and two comfortable bedrooms. There are sort of two bathrooms, but the arrangement is a little unconventional but it was fine. The tub, located in the master bedroom itself, was quite nice after a long day of walking. Fortunately the weather was exceptional - and we loved walking to and from the Tube. However, it is a good 10 minute walk so be prepared if the weather is bad. The street is located at the end of Hollywood Road where we found several excellent restaurants of all different varieties that were easy to visit at the end of the day. The owner was responsive and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity!

High Quality Chelsea Aparment / Garden & Gararge

This is a very stylish apartment in the heart of Chelsea - the area is part of the Bolton Estate which is probably as smart as it gets in London. Mews garage with electric roller door and private entrance to apartment through a walled garden is a major plus. Situated amongst beautiful Edwardian streets and elegant surroundings - there are many amenities and attractions nearby on the Fulham and Kings Road. Innumerable good restaurants, cafes and bars all v. close to the front door - buses / undergrounds all within a few minutes. Sloane Square, Harrods, Knightsbridge, Albert Hall and major museums within 20 mins walking or short ride on public transport. Visitors to London will love the central location as well as the stylish area. Monster double bed in master with beautiful crisp cotton linen - stylish window shutters in the grand style. Friendly owner who goes out of her way to help visitors make the most of their stay - friendly advice and great attention to detail in everything provided. Fab TV and sound system - a proper home to return to at the end of the day - all for a reasonable price.

Loved our stay in London!

This apartment was lovely! It was appropriate for our family of 4 ( 2 adults, 2 kids ages 12 & 14). The main living area was spacious and comfortable. The back garden was cute - and while we ended up not getting to spend much time there - it was nice to have in the evenings when we returned from a long day of sight-seeing, and to open the door and have a lovely garden area to sit in and relax. Ann was fabulous! Very accommodating and helpful with all the big pieces of information as well as the small details. She really cared about making our stay in the apartment positive. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. The bathrooms were very small by American standards - but typical by European standards. The second bedroom is somewhat of a tight squeeze - the bed and a small set of drawers fill up the room. It also has a closet along one wall. The master bedroom is quite spacious. Both beds were very comfortable. The area the apartment in is very nice. It is a solid 5 minute walk to the nearest subway station - Earls Court. But there are several bus stops nearby as well. So it was always easy to get around. And there are several grocery stores on the way from the tube back to the apartment, so you can pick up what you may need for the next morning on your way home in the evening. There is a cute park just around the corner, and a lovely old church 2 blocks away. Would definitely recommend this apartment.

My wife and I stayed at "A Chelsea Retreat" for 12 days in May, 2025. We had a very comfortable stay in this flat. The apartment was located in Chelsea, a safe and affluent neighborhood about a mile south of the Victoria and Albert museum. It was a very quiet apartment. with no street noise. Neither was there noise from tenants above or below us. The subway stops are farther from the apartment that one might think from comments and maps. We ended using Ubers for transportation, though each Uber trip to a major site in London cost around 25 each way. The kitchen worked fine. We ate in the apartment most nights. There are a few local markets near the apartment, but none of any size or offering. A "Super Tesco" is a worthwhile Uber ride 1 mile away for a full shop at the beginning of your trip.The communication with the management before and after went very well, with no issues.The reason I am not giving the apartment a full 5 stars has to do with the bathrooms. The MBR bathroom, located inside of the bedroom, consists of a very small toilet and sink. It is 26" by 52," not larger than an airline toilet. The hall bathroom has the only shower. That shower is 30" x38" and the door is hinged inwards, which makes getting in and out of the shower difficult. There are no hand holds in the shower and no ledges for soap or shampoo. This might be "quirky," but heads up. Nonetheless, strongly consider this apartment and London! We think you will enjoy both as much as we did.

Thank you so much for your detailed and balanced feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at A Chelsea Retreat. We're delighted to hear that you and your wife had a comfortable and quiet stay, and that you enjoyed the peaceful Chelsea location. It's great to know the kitchen suited your needs and that communication throughout your stay went smoothly. We also really value your comments regarding the bathrooms. While the layout and size are typical of many classic London properties, we understand how important comfort and functionality are, and your observations are very helpful. We’ll certainly review how we can improve the shower experience and clarify details in our listing to better manage expectations. Thank you again for staying with us and for your thoughtful recommendation—we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!

Would stay again!

We stayed for 4 nights during spring break and was very happy with everything. The location is great! You can walk to the underground in about 10/15 minutes and go anywhere you want. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores in either direction. We loved that it was more in a residential area. It was quiet, safe and very quaint. There is a cute little park about a block away. The flat itself is a great set up. Yes, that bathroom in the master bedroom is a little odd but it works. We were a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and it worked just fine. We loved having a washer and dryer so we could do laundry. In the back you have patio that is very cute. We had a little hiccup at the beginning of stay but Ann Louise and Van were great and got everything resolved. They both responded to everything quickly. Also, Ann Louise answered any questions I had before our arrival. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Flat, Charming Neighborhood

We four friends spent a short week in London mid September. Our Chelsea Home Away flat was jusr the perfect combination of location and amenities. We purchased a French press coffee maker nearby for our morning quick breakfasts. Our days were spent exploring the city and enjoying substantial pub lunches. Then we returned "home" via the tube for cocktails and snacks each evening. The walk from tube station was a short one. This delightful flat is cozy and inviting. We would book it again.

Very comfortable cute place

It was a very comfortable stay. Beds were very comfortable and nice clean sheets n towels. Had a few problems with the bathroom, toilet flush broken but they sent a lovely man who fixed the problem straight away. The shower also doesn't drain very well so can't have a long shower otherwise it overflows. But I guess that was English plumbing in these conversion appartments. Nice and quite street and has great restaurants just down the road. Would stay again.
