S.Kens Apartment in superb location Read my reviews

South Kensington. Superb light bright two double bedroom lower ground floor apartment. Key access to gated Gardens opposite the apartment.

WHEN BOOKING APARTMENT ALWAYS CHECK TUBE LINES. PICCADILLY FOR ALL THEATERS, DISTRICT AND CIRCLE FOR SHOPPING & SIGHTSEEING.
SO IMPORTANT!

49 BUS (4 min walk) TAKES YOU TO WESTFIELD'S MULTIMILLION POUND SHOPPING CENTRE PASSING KENSINGTON HIGH ST & HYDE PARK ON THE WAY

KITCHEN WITH OVEN AND CERAMIC HOB PLUS A NEW WET ROOM/WALK-IN SHOWER

ONLY 5 MINUTES WALK TO GLOUCESTER RD TUBE!!

SUPERB SAFE AREA WITH PRETTY GATED GARDEN OPPOSITE

WIFI IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS ALL THE UTILITY BILLS!!

ALL INCLUSIVE - NO EXTRAS

£300 damage deposit, returned if left as found

This quiet light bright two double bedroom property is located on the lower ground floor of a Victorian conversion.
The apartment consists of a comfortable spacious living room with feature skylights, MODERISED kitchen with integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, clothes-dryer, microwave, fridge oven & ceramic hob, toaster, kettle, cutlery, central heating etc.

There is also a TV and DVD player with miscellaneous CDs and DVDS as well as its own book collection, so you can curl up with a novel on cosy sofas after a day’s sight-seeing.

*The rental price is inclusive of all electricity and heating charges, council tax, towels, sheets and linen and also staples in the kitchen (tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper)*
Indeed this inclusive rate is unusual for a London apartment as most charge extra for taxes etc.
There are two compact double bedrooms with comfortable double beds. The wet room is new and it's fantastic!
The second bedroom is the bedroom I was using when the photographer came (hence slightly creased bedclothes!!) It also has a TV in this bedroom.
This room has a door leading to outside space. The outside space is small, but very useful for laundry purposes.

Bookings may begin on the afternoon of the departure date of a previous guest. However, if you have bags, you are welcome to drop them off earlier while the flat is being cleaned.

Access from Heathrow Airport couldn't be easier; take the tube directly to Gloucester Road on the Piccadilly Line, with no changes required. Takes about forty minutes. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express leaves every fifteen minutes to Victoria station which is fifteen minutes away by cab to the flat or 3 straight tube stops to Gloucester Rd tube.

Or we have a driver who will pick you up from Heathrow. His charges are:- £48 pick up from any terminal. £38 to drop off.

Location can not be beaten (check my reviews) with just a few minutes walking distance to Natural History Museum, V&A or catch a concert at the Albert Hall home to the Proms, the world’s great classical music festival.

Most important is the closeness to the tube with West-end theaters 15 mins tube ride. It's only a 5 minute walk to Hyde Park as well as Kensington High St.

I must stress that when staying in London, location, location and location is of the utmost importance and having 3 central tube lines will get you anywhere you need to get to in London without having to change lines.

Knightsbridge is close by with the famous Harrods, it's only a 5 minutes walk to Gloucester Rd tube.

The 49 bus (3 mins walk from the flat) takes you to the new billion pound shopping complex Westfield, passing Kensington High St on the way.

There are many international restaurants and bars in the area. Quality shopping at Waitrose and nearby Sainsburys supermarkets.
Check in 4pm - checkout 10am.

We will be on hand to meet and show you how everything works in the apartment. We will happily answer your questions and fulfil you requests in any way we can and can also hire you a car and driver to take you to and from the airport if required.

Beauty in the heart of Kensington

Spend 9 days here and it was a spectacular visit. The flat was everything we needed. Having close proximity to museums, parks and transportation only made things better. Truly a gem in the center of the bustle of the big city.

Overall positive experience. Despite being a basement flat, lighting in living room was very nice. Stairs down to flat are steep. A few concerns - Lighting in bathroom and bedrooms inadequate. It was warm during our stay and only one fan was working. Towels and sheets need an upgrade. Door in bedroom only opens halfway. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Julie was responsive. Kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have a washer.

We had a great experience in this property. It was very well located, safe neighborhood with lot of restaurants nearby. Gloucester Road station is just 3-4 min. walk connecting to the most important sights in London. Communication with Host was wonderful. Julie would respond to messages within minutes and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this property.

Our stay at this flat was perfect for our 3 nights in London. Although on the compact side, the flat was perfectly located in Kensington with easy access to everything we needed! We also used Julie’s driver recommendation for airport transfers and he was great. Communication with Julie was easy and fast. As others have noted, the flat could use a few updates to make it even better. In addition to new bedding, the rugs in the bathroom could use an upgrade. Outside these minor changes, the flat worked great for our stay.

This apartment worked well for our family since we were only there to sleep. Everyday we were up early and home late. It is the garden apartment so there are some steps to get down that can be a little steep for bringing bags up and dorm. They are the standard steps for any garden apartment in this area. We ate at a couple of restaurants and everyone was so nice in the area. It was super convenient with the Tube being only a 5 minute walk. Kensington Palace is only a 12-minute walk from the apartment.Communication with the owner was great. She was always available. We had coffee or tea in the morning and there was sugar already there. The fridge is a small under cabinet kind of fridge. It was great to use the washer and dryer and the instructions were very easy. Like most have mentioned, the apartment has some TLC that is needed. The towels were older, there is no plug in the bathroom to get ready. The only option is the plug by the “fireplace” for a mirror. The rugs in the bathroom are thin and kind of pointless to have in there. The toilet seat moves so be careful when sitting. The location was perfect and overall it worked out great for us!!!

Great stay for our family

We recently stayed in this London flat which fit our family of 4 great. The host was very responsive and the check in process was clear and simple. The location was fantastic, we found many great places to eat within walking distance, and the underground station is close too. Would recommend to check this place out if you are looking for a place to use as a home-base while you explore the city!

Spring Break in London

My two teens and I stayed here for four nights. Our trip was cut short due to circumstances outside our control, and Julie was great. She was very communicative and helpful. She also helped us connect with someone for transfers who was great! I wanted to make sure we were in a good, safe, quiet neighborhood. We could not have been happier. Close to the tube and markets and restaurants. Close to Museums and parks. We would certainly recommend Julie and her flat.

Great home base location!

This was a great home base for exploring London! What a perfect location! So easy to get to everything from there with public transportation. It was an easy walk to Kensington Gardens and the Natural History and Science Museums. Despite being a “basement” apartment, it was light and airy with all the skylights. The furniture was comfortable. The place was clean and everything was easy to use. We enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous rooms, elegant and convenient location

The apartment is perfectly located, across from a private park, and far from the noise of the busy streets nearby. Gloucester Road underground and Waitrose are 5 minutes away. The two bedrooms, very large living room, and remodeled bathroom are ideal for our purposes and we hope to return frequently.

Great for family stay!

We were a family of 4 (children are 11 & 8), and this was perfect for us! It was just enough space, with great amenities. The location was perfect, a quick walk to the tube station (which has a grocery) and a lot of really good restaurants too. Julie was very responsive and we also used the driver she recommended for pickup and drop off at Heathrow, he was very friendly and helpful. I recommend both this flat as well as the driver.

Scenic location

The location was fantastic. Walking distance to station, restaurants , shops and tourist attractions.Steps down to the basement apartment were challenging with luggage in tow. Younger people than us would handle it okay. The apartment was bright and light thanks to the skylights.The lounge, dining and kitchen areas were okay, the bedrooms cramped.Somethings need attention. The shower dripped the whole time we were there, the toilet seat needs to be tightened. Shelving in the bathroom would help with storage of toiletries. Towels and linen need updating. The drawers in the bedroom cupboard were unusable. Small jobs that would make a big difference to the comfort of guests .Julie, the host was always quick to respond to queries and helpful with advice. She was kind enough to let us store our luggage in the apartment until the early afternoon of our departure to the airport.

Quiet Stay

The place was very clean. All amenities listed were present and those used worked. Fantastic Neighborhood, very quiet. My two concerns. Steps down to the entry door are steep, narrow and make a 90 degree turn. Being in our 80's we could handle the stairs using the railing--but taking luggage up and down was a problem. Our Daughter was with us and handled the luggage. Both Queen size beds were against a wall (in different rooms) limiting access to one side and the bottom of the bed.

Well apportioned apartment in a great location!

My family and I had a wonderful time staying in this apartment. For a family of four, we were able to relax in the evenings and watch TV after a full day of sight-seeing. We were even able to make some home-cooked meals for a nice change from endless restaurants. There was ample room for us to stretch out. Even though the apartment is below grade, the sky lights allow plenty of light, so we didn't really notice being in the lower level. The location is fantastic, just a quick 5 minute walk to the Gloucester Road Underground station, and there are plenty of nearby restaurants with good food and great variety. There's also a Sainsbury within walking distance if you need to stock up for an extended stay.

Quiet apartment in a great location

We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights and loved the location. Lively Gloucester Rd is only a few minutes walk, with plenty of shops and restaurants. Yet the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful garden across the street. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. Julie was very prompt with communication and helpful without being intrusive. The beds were very comfortable and we loved hearing the rain on the skylights. Despite being a basement apartment, the skylights provided plenty of natural light. There is only one flight of stairs to navigate and we managed quite well. Thank you, Julie, for a wonderful first visit to London!

Charming flat

I recently stayed in this lovely flat with my sister and two students from the school where I teach. It was the perfect 'base' location for our tour of London. It is a 5 minute walk to a main underground station and a very nice Waitrose. The skylights throughout are charming and give wonderful light. Although it is a smaller space than what we are used to in the States, we never felt cramped. Julie was a delight to work with and I found her to be very accommodating. Charlotte, the property manager, was timely and very helpful. If I ever come back to the wonderful city of London I would certainly try to stay in this flat again.

A Perfect Place for Spring Break in London

I picked this property because of all of the glowing reviews, and it exceeded expectations! With our family of four (2 teenagers), this flat was a terrific "base of operations". The Kensington neighborhood is safe and walkable. The proximity of the Gloucester Road Underground station took us anywhere in London. We walked to Kensington/Hyde Park, so the kids could kick a soccer ball. There are excellent local restaurants toward the park and around the Underground station, plus a post office and Barclays ATM. After our days of touring, we stopped at the Waitrose grocery store near the Underground, so we could prepare and eat dinner on our own. Although a basement apartment, it is well-lit by natural light and comfortable, with 2 nice bedrooms and a large sitting area. The kitchen allowed us to store, prepare, and eat everything we wanted. We appreciated the washer/dryer to reduce what we packed and the provided linens with heated towel rack. The teenagers especially liked the wi-fi to allow us to de-compress in the evenings. Driver Raza took us to and from Heathrow, and he graciously drove us to London-Euston station for an early morning midweek expedition, all for reasonable prices. He is friendly, responsive, and reliable. It is no question that this flat contributed to an outstanding Spring Break vacation for our family. Thank you again, Julie!

Ok

The location was truly superb! Ideally located on a charming and quiet residential neighborhood, directly across from the idyllic Cornwall Gardens parkette. With the lovely skylights we never noticed the flat’s sub grade location. A very short walk to all amenities and perfectly central to accessing all of London’s key sites. The host was exceptional in communication- immediate and informative. The property was exactly as described. Beds were comfortable although basic linens and quite neutral. The property has enormous potential….perhaps adding some personality and charm might elevate its overall value. The host did experience some apparent challenges with the cleaners prior to our arrival- the shower was not functioning and we were unable to us use it our first night. However, the host was able to have it repaired while we were out touring- a commendable feat given New Years Eve!!! The cleanliness was certainly left wanting, however, most likely due to cleaner challenges as mentioned earlier. Shortage of clean towels, linens and dishes- which were all onsite- owing again to a very correctable improvement/change in cleaners. We would certainly recommend this property and it’s host.

Perfect for London Sightseers!

I spent a fair bit of time on the VRBO site toggling back and forth between descriptions and the map. I hope to spare others the same trouble. If you are looking for a CENTRAL, SAFE, location for a family to tour London, this is it. This apartment is indeed 5 min from two of the most important Underground lines for tourists. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History museums. We were able to drag our bags from Heathrow into our rooms in about 45 minutes. We never felt unsafe--there were solo joggers and Moms walking with children and strollers in this clean, quiet neighborhood. It truly is as bright as the pictures show. It was a boon having a washer and dryer in the unit. We will pack even less next time. The restaurants within walking distance (Indian, Italian, Spanish, and Thai) were excellent--I'd recommend heading home after tours, dropping in a load of wash (it is a small and slower European-style washer) and just getting dinner close by. It's handy to grocery stores and fruit vendor; post office and dry cleaners; cafes and take-away food. Additionally, the owner and property manager were incredibly accessible and helpful. The property manager met us on-site at check in and showed us the flat, appliances, keys, etc. He was immediately available by text throughout our stay even for questions such as, "where are the pods for the dishwasher?" Having free internet was actually far more helpful than I ever imagined--I'd not been overseas since the advent of the smartphone. All the apps I thought would be great required live access so I found myself pulling up and storing maps in the evening at the apartment for use the next day. In summary, this is an excellent property to use as a home base for a family of sightseers!

I live in N. Ireland with my husband and have been letting property since 1976. I lived in London before I married so it's always a good excuse to come back when reletting the apartment.
I have twin girls of 33 - Claire is married and teaches A level maths. Kate is also married and is a primary school teacher. Prior to this Kate pioneered a charity in Uganda for 5 years sponsoring street children called Tomorow's Heros now renamed Freedom Heroes.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

I love this property because of the location as it is just so close to everything and has a real buzz to the area.
It feels very light and airy.
I also still have friends in this area.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

It is much quieter than most London flats as it's a REAR lower ground floor flat and not underneath the building. That is why it's so light because it is not in the basement as such. This can be seen in the photos.
