About this property

Our spacious (52 sq metres) top-floor quiet one bedroom flat is situated in a prestigious portered block in the heart of Kensington, ideally situated to explore all the delights London has to offer. All mod-cons provided including Molton Brown toiletries, Nespresso Coffee machine and pods, Egyptian cotton bedsheets and duvets, goose-down pillows, 42" flat screen TV and DVD player, real wood flooring throughout and marble-tiled bathroom.

The best things about this property are:

1. Location - Right on Kensington High Street, 2 minutes away from High Street Kensington tube, 2 minutes from Holland Park, 5 minutes from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. This makes it a perfect location for events at the Royal Albert Hall, Natural History, Science, Design and V&A museums and easy to get links into Soho and London's West End Theatres. Wonderful nightlife including Michelin restaurants, funky bars and clubs.

2. Safe and Sound - It's very well spaced large one bedroom top floor flat (approx. 52 square metres), at the back of a prestigious portered building making it great for security and a sound nights sleep as there's no one upstairs and high enough not to hear the street sounds below.

3.. Comfortably sleeps 4 adults - as well as a large kingsize bed in the bedroom, the living room has two large sofas, one being a large double sofa bed (10 metres away from the bedroom, thus maintaining privacy).

4. Complimentary bicycles for all the family to enjoy both the parks and getting around.

5. Football, Cricket, Tennis balls', goals, wickets, bats racquets, frisbees, kites and picnic basket and rug to enjoy in the parks - both Holland Park and Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park are around the corner.

What's not so good is that there is no lift, therefore not great for the elderly or disabled - but there is a private roof terrace to take in the rays on a summer's day.

Great location and well presented

Great location from tube station and easy to find. The owner of the apartment Moses was waiting to greet us and help us settle in and answer any questions. There was a welcome pack of groceries waiting for us and nothing was too much trouble. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need to have a great stay. Moses check in with us the next day to ensure everything was ok in the apartment. We had a fabulous time and when we return to London we will be checking availability for this apartment.

Great Apartment in a great location.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is great, very central with easy access to the tube station. Moses was very helpful. He meet us on arrival and showed us through the apartment. He also arranged some extra bedding for us so my son could use the second sofa as a bed. Would definitely stay here again if in London.

Perfect size, location, and host!

My husband, me and a friend stayed here in October for a few days and it was the perfect size and location. There's one bedroom and a comfy pull out sofa in the lounge. The bathroom was recently decorated and clean, and was stocked with toiletries which was great. We went to London for a concert at the Royal Albert Hall which was walking distance from the flat. And the High Street Kensington tube station is only a few blocks away for traveling farther afield. What really made this place stand out was the host, Moses. He kept in touch beforehand to make sure our arrival went smoothly, and answered all my random questions throughout the booking process. When we arrived, the place was stocked with everything we needed - there was even cereal to eat in the morning! The listing description was accurate, but note that there wasn't a working lift when we arrived (not sure if that's a temporary or permanent issue) so there a quite a few steps to navigate to get to the top floor, but Moses helped bring our luggage up. I wish we were going back to London soon so we could stay here again!

Great apartment, great stay in Kensington

The appartment is really very nice and perfectly situated in Kensington. Everything corresponds to the pictures and the description. We travelled with 4 (two adults, two teenagers) and had enough space for all of us. It has everything that you need for a city trip or even a longer stay. Buses stop right in front and we also did a lot of sightseeing (parks and museums nearby) by feet. The apartment is surprisingly quiet for the location - although you feel that you in a big city: There is always some "background noise" which did not disturb us at all. Moses is a wonderful host and arranged that we could arrive and leave at our convenience. He stayed in touch with us during the stay ... and we had a fridge full of beverages at our arrival! We would definitively stay here again next time.
