Guest Reviews
- Ana Maria (10/5): -
- Lewis (8/5): Great convenience in Kensington. - Location and space - large space that is comfortable and very functional. Near many popular attractions and lots of restaurants. The carpets are worn. I could not operate the dishwasher but that may be user error. Everything else was operational and useful like the kitchen and clothes washer and dryer.
- Adrian (10/5): Memorabil - Locatia, aproape de Palatul Buckingham (5 min. de mers pe jos), Parlament (15 min. de mers pe jos) si Big Ben (20 min. de mers pe jos). Aproape de statiile de transport public: statia de metrou St James's la 3 min; statia bus St.James's la 8 min; statia Victoria la 12 min.
Personalul amabil si disponibil.
Curatenia
Bucataria complet utilata cu electrocasnice, vesela, tacamuri, articole de curatenie, rezerve pentru expresor, zahar, cafea solubila, etc
Baile dotate cu articole specifice si necesare. Semnalul wi fi.
Foarte utile ar fi cateva adaptoare pentru prizele electrice, pentru adaptarea stecherelor standard continental la prizele standar britanic.
- Marilen (9/5): Centrally Located - Centrally located and the beds are very comfortable.
- Stefi (9/5): Good location, comfortable apartment. - Very comfortable apartment near groceries, restaurants, tube, theaters. Host was very nice. Not a big deal, but the notebook describing streaming services and other info needs to be updated.
- Stefania (10/5): Ci tornerei e lo consiglio... - L'appartamento è molto bello e dotato di tutti i confort. Le camere sono ampie, luminose e ben riscaldate. I doppi servizi (uno con doccia e uno con vasca) funzionali e comodi. È situato in posizione ottimale rispetto ai servizi (metro, ristoranti, negozi...). Vicinissimo a gran parte delle meraviglie di Londra. Ci tornerei e lo consiglio. Sinceramente nulla, ci tornerei.
- Milagros (10/5): -
- Hombre70 (9/5): - Pohodlie
- Michael (7/5): War sehr sehr schön - Sehr zentral , gute Ausstattung , guter Kontakt War alles ok
- Sandra (8/5): Cómoda - Muy bonito y la camas muy cómodas Las cocina no está dotada de platos, vasos y cuencos para picar en casa
- Mariana Nicoleta Spataru (10/5): Vom reveni cu mare drag!🥰❤️ - Locație în inima orașului,toate atracțiile destul de aproape,apartamentul curat,spațios,superb,patul foarte confortabil,dressingul foarte spațios,bucătărie dotată cu tot ceea ce ai nevoie, check in/check out foarte simplu și ușor,magazine și restaurante chiar la parterul clădirii, comunicarea cu gazda foarte facila
- Christine (8/5): - Die Lage des Apartments hätte nicht besser sein können. Die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten waren fussläufig erreichbar, U-Bahn Station in 5 Minuten erreichbar
- hong (9/5): 公寓有电梯,行李多的非常友好,进出有三道门,感觉很安全,位置非常好,步行可以到白金汉宫,威敏,周边地铁站也很近,两个卧室,厨房物品也都齐全。 - 位置很好,出行方便,房东回复很快。 到的晚上,拿钥匙找了好久
- Alexey (9/5): - Местоположение объекта на 10 баллов. Красивый дом и прекрасная квартира с балконом. Виктория очень гостеприимная хозяйка! Хотелось бы, что бы при каждой спальни был свой санузел😊
- Ali (9/5): We were happy to stay there and recommend this property . The host is very nice and organized - Location, comfort and privacy. - Not having facilities to keep the luggage before check-in time
- the unit needs a freezer ( even very small) or ice machine
- Marie-Laure (10/5): - Quartier parfait, proche de tout.
Appartement génial.
Vraiment merci Rien
Ou juste la porte de l immeuble qui pèse une tonne 😅😅
- Luiza Taut (10/5): Super frumos! - Apartamentul și condițiile, liniștea, balconul, facilitățile (aragaz, frigider, frigider vin, cuptor, fier și masa de călcat), gazdă. Ne-ar fi plăcut să fie puțin mai aproape de bulevardele principale ale Londrei (străzile cu magazine). Dar este aproape de Buckingam și de Westminster, deci central.
- Bruno (9/5): - Appartement très cosy, emplacement parfait, assez calme, et proche du métro.
- Kerry (5/5): Disappointed - Location Advice on early checkin to be made earlier to allow alternate plans
Cleanliness of apartment block was terrible
Window openers not connected to sill in primary room
Toilet seat loose
Toilet roll holder not connected
Needs a non slip mat for the bath
Secondary bathroom layout ( basket had to be moved to use the toilet) - no room
Shower screen access limited
All cushions need to be laundered
Carpets are worn and unhygienic
Pillows need replacing
Broken lift - twice
- Andreia (6/5): Great location - Spacious and good location Apt. a little dated.
- kun (9/5): 超赞公寓 - 公寓紧邻白金汉宫,步行几分钟即可到达地铁,地理位置超赞。屋内装饰典雅。厨房设备齐全。出门马路对面就是面包房,楼下还有几家餐厅和酒吧,非常便利。 房间没有空调,进屋要先开窗通气,否则会有些闷热。卫生间灯光有些闪,排风风力不大。
- Alex (7/5): Okay for a short stay. - Located at a prestigious area, very safe. Some of the windows malfunction.
- Lee-anne (9/5): Great location but lack of good security on windows was just not ok & made us feel unsafe at night - Comfy beds Poorly maintained re locks on windows broken or missing.
We could not use main shower due to water escaping shower head & soaking bathroom. We both had to use other (ensuite) shower which was not ideal for multi generations like us travelling together.
- Martha (9/5): Amazing location with super comfortable accommodations. - The location was amazing. It was very comfortable and easy to access. It felt very safe. Close to St. James Tube station. The communication was excellent. Nothing much.
- Philippe (8/5): Excellently elegant flat with minor issues. - Grand, spacious and sun-filled apartment with mostly stylish decor. Much quieter than expected, despite the work being done on the floor above. Very convenient to everything. Although the host is not responsible for the elevator, it didn't operate for all of our stay. We can walk 4 flights of stairs but unfortunately the common stairs and hallways were dirty and smelly. Some furniture (eg the TV stand in the master bedroom) and some wear-and-tear issues diminished the look of an otherwise tastefully finished apartment.
- Suen (8/5): Very good -
- Verena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabba (9/5): We had a lovely time, we felt immediately at home. Victoria is an amazing host, always available to address any question - The property is in an amazing location, few minutes walk from the tube station and restaurants, supermarket.
Very quiet during the day and at night.
The style is also great, makes you feel at home Just one thing, the carpet on the floor (at least it was not in the kitchen nor in the bathrooms)
- Michelle (5/5): Passable - The location was great. The size of the apartment was great for our family of 4. Having 2 bathrooms was great. We had to collect the keys from a store down the street, not too big of a deal but an extra step to take after traveling all day to get there. The carpets were full of stains from the minute you walk in. Not really what you want to see at this price point. The pillows on couches also had stains. It definitely looks nicer overall in the pictures than in person. It’s an older building that looks like it’s starting to get renovations done. The master bed was very firm.
- Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful apartment in a very central location. The key handover was simple and straightforward, and the landlord was easily reachable. Highly recommended!
- Doris (10/5): Great location and perfect spot for our family of 4! - Location was great! Looked just like it did in the photographs.
- Tanis (9/5): We enjoyed our stay very much; I only wish we’d had more time to enjoy the neighborhood. - It was very well-located, and the decor was lovely; it had a cozy, yet urban vibe. The kitchen was spacious, and had a nice nook with a table; and the living room was very spacious and comfortable. The shower in the en-suite bathroom was difficult to get in and out of because the bathroom was very cramped, and the sink blocked part of the access. The bed in that same bedroom squeaked every time I moved the slightest bit.
- Winchester (8/5): Overall a very good value with location,space, nice kitchen facilities and easy walk to major sites. - We loved the large gathering room and having two bathrooms. Enjoyed the coffee shop across the street at Westminster Chapel and also the Italian restaurant just 2 doors down. Pictures are true to property. Loved the windows on front for fresh air. Unfortunately the carpet was very dirty in the entry hall. But the rest of the apt was fine. Would suggest a bath mat for the slippery tub and possibly a coffee pot😊
- Chris (9/5): Superb -
- Wendy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (8/5): Brilliant location and comfy accommodation - Great accommodation for 2 couples. Location was excellent, with a little store just over the road and eating places near by. We couldnt get the lamps going. The pick up for the keys didnt go very smoothly. We hadnt been given a code for the pick up of keys at the shop. It ended up they werent there anyway because, they were nearing just finishing the cleaning of the accommodation. We had given them the time of our arrival. Were missing towels for bathroom which were delivered the following day. Drop off of key didnt go smoothly either as the place we had to drop them was not open when we were to leave , which was abit stressful. And we had told them the time of our departure .
- Wendy (9/5): Superb -
- Jenelle (10/5): Perfect London holiday. - We loved our time in this beautiful apartment.
It is so close to transport and within walking distance of major sights. We loved everything.
- You-kyung (10/5): Unforgettable poor sanitary and manner - We got to test our luck and health. The best-before date on two water bottles neatly placed next to the coffee was 07/07/2023, which was 11 months before my check-in date. We drank the water before noticing the date, and luckily, none of us got sick! A miserable experience. When I reported the moldy dishwasher, the host said her cleaner had been on vacation. WOW! Upon arrival, I was greeted with a moldy and rusted dishwasher, a dirty sink, a filthy toaster, a grimy electric kettle, kitchen utensils stained with food, not to mention crumbs over the kitchen.
The next day, only the specific areas I had photographed were cleaned. Surprisingly, the rest were the same!!
The host offered as much as the cleaning fee. I am still curious if the host thought I should clean her kitchen for that. I missed saying my hourly cost is far higher than that. So, I could stay here. Unfortunately.
- Kristen (10/5): A comfortable apartment in the heart of the city. - The location was wonderful. There was plenty of room for our family of four. We felt very safe. The outside noises could be a bit much at times but it is a city and there is no controlling that.
- Ahsan (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great experience....rooms were very spacious and all the attractions were near..
Highly recommended.
- Caroline (9/5): It was comfortable & as a solo traveler I felt safe - Perfect location from the office, felt safe Noisy traffic, couldn’t get tv’s to work, if more people staying no spare key. Only two bowls in the kitchen
- Anaïs (9/5): Very good ! - Location was perfect and the 2 bedrooms are very appreciated when traveling in family It is a minor detail but logic for this location : the noise from pubs and life outside
- Shane (9/5): Good location and the property delivered what it promised - Host was great and easy to communicate with on picking up keys and flexibility on arrival.
Property had plenty of room, well located with pubs, cafes and restaurants handy as well as public transport.
Lift was handy when have lots of luggage but highlight was seeing/hearing the kings band practice before changing of the guard at the back of the barracks. hard to fault
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (9/5): Great place to stay with a family in Westminster! - A fantastic place to stay in London - great facilities and location - and the host was so helpful! Thank you
- Bambi (9/5): Superb - Convenient walking distance to Buckingham Palace and some shops and restaurants. Flat was very spacious and clean Beds were very firm. No washcloths but I'm thinking that is a UK thing.
- Vanja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edidiong (10/5): True home away from home. - The property was clean, comfortable and perfect for families. The house is in the perfect location- the center of London with: cafes, restaurants, convenience stores and an underground close by. Location and apartment were perfect.
- Brandi (10/5): Fantastic stay in the heart of London! - The flat was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 4. It was in a perfect location for exploring London. It sits right next to the St. James Tube station and Victoria is only a short walk away. Buckingham Palace was right down the block. One of the King’s Guards barracks are right behind the flat which house the band. We loved hearing the King’s Guards Band practice in the mornings. The flat has a fully stocked kitchen for cooking although we really only made coffee and the kids had breakfast each day. There is a Waitrose market about 5 minutes away that has all you may need. Not much not to like.
- Clare (9/5): Perfectly situated for easy access to all tourist hotspots. - Great location for our weekend activities. Very comfortable accommodation and good communication from host.
- Nelly (9/5): Superb - My kid asked whether we could book the same place next time we come to London, I believe this sums it up!
- Werner (8/5): Stay close to the King! - The location is superb very close to Buckingham Palace and close to underground and rail stations. Also many restaurants and shops close by. The apartment is stylish and very comfortable. Excellent value for money if you want flexibility with making your own meals and going to restaurants. Felt safe at all times in the area and in the apartment block. The host Victoria was very responsive to any questions. Free wifi is good. Compared to budget hotels in the area, it was very good value for money if you need more than one bedroom. The apartment does need a bit of maintenance - quite a number of light bulbs were not working.
- Frank (9/5): Superb - Big, comfortable flat. Responsive host.
- Craig (10/5): Exceptional -
- Szana (10/5): Great place. Very easy! - Very easy. Cute apartment. Great location. No AC but as long as it is not hot, that’s ok ;-)
- Edie (10/5): One of the best rentals we have ever rented. - The location was amazing. It was so clean and comfortable. Nothing. Victoria was a wonderful. She answered any questions we had.
- Carol (9/5): We really enjoyed the experience - Particularly liked the Italian restaurant next door and also the location for sightseeing. I think it was really good and really nothing to dislike
- Subrata (10/5): If it is within your budget just get it - location is excellent and flat is comfortable. - The location was excellent. The flat was in great condition, well kept, clean and comfortable. Good view from the balcony. Liked the nook in the kitchen. Kitchen was adequately stuffed. It was tricky to open and lock the balcony door!
- Martin (10/5): Wonderful location right in the heart of London! - First of all, the location was fantastic! All kinds of shops, restaurants, pubs and even sights like Buckingham Palace, Westminster or St. James's Park are just around the corner. Victoria was very kind and left us a lot hints to make our trip to London even more convenient.
The apartment was spacious, clean and provided us with everything we needed. We can highly recommend this apartment...
Thank you so much! We cannot think of anything... 😉
- Natalya (10/5): Great location and comfortable stay. - The location is excellent. The apartment is comfortable with everything you need. A bonus is a small balcony where you can have a cup of coffee and feel the city. None.
- Christine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): Super place to use as a base for a long weekend of sightseeing - Fantastic location right next to Buckingham Palace and Victoria station. Stylishly kitted out apartment with everything you need. Even though the apartment was 4th floor it was a bit nosey first thing with street cleaning, glass recycling, etc. Also, was so warm even with radiators off and windows open to try and cool the place. Finally, a feather free option would be good for those with allergies/asthma.
- Nicolas (9/5): excellent stay - the location of the property is amazing and Victoria is very responsive and welcoming.
highly recommended stay in London. the building is a bit dated like many in London
- Maiken (5/5): Central but super worn flat - The location is excellent, and everything is walkable (within 4-30 min). We never used the Underground and saved a ton of money. The flat is very worn and cold. Carpet is dirty and windows are not isolated. There are 2 bathrooms, one of the shower cabins is not working (glass folding door), it constantly got stuck (like super stuck!) when getting in and out of shower, leaving you either trapped inside or not able to get into the shower...
- Justin (9/5): Superb -
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gerry (9/5): Felt very relaxed in this property - Very comfortable flat, in a great central position for that part of London. Host was very Friendly and amenable, and prompt in replies. Needed some extra pillows but this is only a small gripe we had a great stay
- William (10/5): Exceptional - Truly a Stylish London Getaway in the heart of the city. Updated, large, comfortable, beautiful decor!! Loved this apartment.
- William (10/5): Luxury, Updated, Clean & Convenient to stores and Buckingham Palace. - Fantastic location walking distance to Buckingham palace with a convenient market across the street. Clean updated and stylish! Comfortable beds, updated bathrooms. Large smart TVs with cable in both bedrooms and living room. Very large kitchen with all the amenities. This truly is a luxury apartment with a doorman!
