This flat was a perfect base for my vacation in London! I stayed ten days and found it comfortable, well-located, and a pleasure to come home to at the end of a long day of sightseeing, the theatre, and other activities. This flat is easily three or four times the size of my last hotel room in London!

The bed is very comfortable, there is a great deal of storage space (both shelves and hanging space), and more than ample hot water for the shower and the washing machine. The kitchen was small but more than adequate for my needs, and I loved being able to fix breakfast in the flat every day before heading out to my activities. Had I wanted to cook a full meal every evening, I could have done so, but that wasn't what I came to London to do!

The flat is located on a quiet residential street; I came home late at night several times and always felt perfectly safe walking from the bus or train to the flat. London is a very safe city generally, and Kensington perhaps even more so.

Daniel is a genial and thoughtful host who has done his best to anticipate any need a guest in the flat might have, and he checked in with me several times via email to make sure I was not in need of anything. Speaking of email, the wifi is robust and easy to use, and there are several well-placed electrical outlets for charging your various devices (don't forget to bring an adapter though!).

A couple of factual points that are useful to know: the shower might be tricky for a very tall person to use, because entering the shower stall requires the user to step up about a foot from the floor, and the ceilings are not high. I am 5'2" and had no difficulty, but a tall person might have to adjust the shower head to suit him better. Also, the nearest tube station to the flat, Kensington (Olympia), just half a block away, is actually served by the tube only on weekends and during special events at the Olympia exhibition space around the corner. It is served on a regular schedule daily only by the Overground rail. This was not a big problem for me, though, because the bus service on the Kensington High Street (half a block away in the other direction) is excellent (including the #9, my favorite London bus route), and I much preferred to take the bus whenever possible, for the simple joy of looking out the windows. If you do need the tube you can take one of the three buses that serve Hammersmith, or even walk to Hammersmith; it is less than a mile.

Highly recommended.
