This apartment was ideally suited for two or three people. The pullout couch was great for a child but I’m not sure about an adult sleeping on it. The bedroom was comfortable and we loved the apartment. It’s nestled down a relatively quiet street but close to restaurants and a tube station is only a 10 minute walk away. We loved everything about it and we would definitely stay here again.

This apartment is perfectly located in South Kensington, close to museums, parks, and shops. It was clean and just the right size for our family of three (two adults, one 8 year old). The hosts were able to accommodate our early arrival, which was very much appreciated!I loved the little balcony, it was perfect for sitting outside while reading or having a glass of wine.Pubs and shops nearby, all lovely.The only qualm I had was with the washer (I'm unfamiliar with this style of washer, however). We did a load of laundry and it was impossible for our clothes to get fully rinsed. We ran extra rinse cycles, but our items still had a faint hint of the detergent that the owners use to wash towels and blankets. We used our own unscented detergent, but still picked up the scent. Our son loved the apartment, and we all agree we would stay again!

Location location location! Nice little apartment in a great neighbourhood. Communication with our host was excellent. Would definitely stay again. Only downside was the sleeper couch was quite small ( and very firm). Not really wide enough for 2 teenagers. Otherwise wonderful stay!

Nice place in a great location

Overall, the stay was great. Fantastic location and generally clean and bright apartment. The bathroom was slightly dirty and did have a strange odour coming from it that we could not seem to get rid of. All in all, I would recommend this place and location to others.

Seeing London

The location is great. Close to underground and easy access to taxis. Close to parks, grocery stores and multiple restaurants. I was traveling with my adult son so the two separate sleeping areas were useful. Access instructions were easy and accurate. Great place to stay.
