Guest Reviews
- Jackie (10/5): Lovely and convenient neighborhood, close to everywhere. The apartment is very comfortable, - Spacious, well equipped, and convenient location. At times it could be noisy from the streets or upstairs.
- Abid (10/5): - Ricky is such a great and helpful host whenever I had any problems. The check-in and check-out directions were very clear, the bed was really comfortable, and the property was clean as well.
- James (10/5): - Great location, clear instructions, easy to find. Good clean, well maintained and well equipped property. Served our needs.
Tube station a short walk away, plenty of shops, fast food outlets, restaurants, pubs.
- Judit Bañeras (9/5): -
- Monia Anibaldi (10/5): Comodità e buon prezzo - Situato in un bel quartiere
Appartamento completo di accessori (anche prese e cavi per i cellulari)
Prosecco di benvenuto e snack
Lo consiglio !!!
- Gabriela (10/5): Sensacional departamento - Muy buen departamento. Excelente ubicación con comercios cercanos y buena conectividad.
Buenos utensilios si deseas cocinar.
Nos dejaron bebidas y frutas de cortesía.
Volvería sin dudas.
- David (9/5): Great location with attentive hosts keen to ensure you give a great stay - Excellent location with access in 5 mins to 2 separate underground systems . Perfect for getting around. Property had everything you need including done nice welcome gifts to help settle in. Easy access and well informed throughout Nothing
- Adam (9/5): Good time, good place - It s good place to visiting the London. I think thats a silent places. Evry kind of transport are very nearly to location.
Not far away is a lot of shops, restaurant and whatever we need to life:)
- Mathias (10/5): - Das Appartement war sehr groß, über mehrere Etagen, sodass jeder von uns ungestört oder alle zusammen sein konnten.
Es war sauber und Ricky ein super Host, der in seinen E-Mails alle Fragen vorab beantwortet hat.
Chelsea-Kensington als Ausgangspunkt, um London zu entdecken, war eine hervorragende Wahl. Eine Stunde mit Bus und Underground zum Airport Heathrow, M+S und Sainsbury ums Eck und eine sehr schöne Nachbarschaft mit gemütlichen Pubs haben uns gefallen.
- Janike (10/5): -
- Josephine (8/5): goede prijs! - uitstekende locatie
makkelijk om de sleutels in de buurt op te halen
goed prijs voor in Londen
veel beter als in een kleine hotelkamer.
- 昌人 (6/5): 暖房が使えると快適です! - 広々していて家族で過ごすには快適でした!
コーヒーの準備もあってちょっとした料理をするにもよかったです。 暖房器具の使い方がわからず初日は寒いおもいをしました。使用方法の説明があると親切だと思います。
- mutiara (9/5): Good value for money. We would definitely book again with Ricky next time we are in London - The apartment was huge. Ricky has some issue with the original booking but he offered us an alternative apartment. The alternative apartment was just as big as the one we reserved. 2 bedroom with living room. He provided some drinks which we really appreciate. Metro and bus stop is just 5-10 minutes away very convenient. The apartment is a bit chilly fortunately there is a portable heater to use. We put it in the kids room and it works perfectly. And there is also enough blanket around so it’s not really an issue. In the beginning the communication is a bit slow, but after we arrived Ricky always reply swiftly.
- Christian (10/5): Super - Sauber, gute Lage
- Matheaus (4/5): - Clean property and enough for us to stay They switched the locations last minute and told us that the initial apartment had a sewage issue. The replaced the apartment with another one in a worse location and the apartment was subpar compared to our expectations. Could have let us know earlier that the apartment was unavailable so we could make other plans but they let us know last minute. Very poor handling on their end and caused us to panic. The other apartment was along Edgeware Road which was a dangerous area. Caused us the panic and trouble. Otherwise the apartment offered was a nice stay.
- Óscar (7/5): - Muy buena ubicación en un buen barrio como Chelsea. La comunicación con el centro, tanto en autobús como en metro era muy buena. Las camas eran cómodas y el apartamento estaba limpio. Que no coincidían del todo las fotos con la realidad. Pensamos que había otra habitación y otro baño. Eso fue un poco incómodo quizá de haberlo sabido con anterioridad hubiéramos optado por un alojamiento más grande por tema logístico. Tampoco nos gustó que había pocos vasos, por no decir casi ninguno (o al menos no los encontramos). Fuimos cinco amigos y había una taza, un vaso grande, uno de plástico, uno pequeño y un tarro, ninguno más.
- Carlotta (9/5): - posizione top, pulito e casa molto fornita.
- Kristen (10/5): We had a nice stay. - It was a short walk to Earl’s court tube station. The host had milk, tea, coffee, some fruit and basic food available when we arrived. There was also plenty of soap, shampoo and conditioner. The flat has a washer and dryer and some detergent pods. It was within walking distance of Kensington gardens. There was plenty of space and beds for the 5 of us. We (2 adults, 3 kids) could not check in until 4pm despite requesting slightly earlier check in twice. It only took about an hour and 15 minutes to get to Earl’s Court from the time it took to got off the plane, go through customs, and take the tube. We had to wander around with our suitcases for 2 hours before we could enter the flat. All the green spaces that appeared on our GPS were private parks, so there was no place to sit. The restaurants are too small to drag our suitcases into. Most places will allow you to check-in slightly early if cleaning is complete.
- Oscar (9/5): - la ubicacion
- Paul (6/5): Wouldn’t Recommend - Hosts left fruit to eat and washing powder for us to use.
They also left tea and instant coffee and other random things left over from previous visitors, this was appreciated although I would have expected unused items to be provided due to hygiene issues.
Picking up the key was easy. Key was left in a nearby shop which was open 24 hours. LOCATION:
- Be aware that the address that displays in your initial booking.com is not necessarily the address you will be staying. We booked thinking we would be in the Knaresborough Place address (as that was the address that was shown on the confirmation) - we booked this as we wanted to be close to Earls Court Station. Instead we were placed in a rather unclean/odorous apartment around 15 minute walk from South Kensington or Gloucester road station. To get to the tube we either had to walk the 15 minutes or take a bus to get to the tube.
We needed to be close to the tube as we have a child with a disability who can not walk for long distances.
When we noticed the new address (sent by booking.com message - a few days before the booking) we contacted the hosts straight away and explained the circumstance. They were not very helpful. Just explaining that they organise stays in postcodes W8, SW5, SW7 and SW10. That we had been given one of their “best” apartments.
BEDDING:
- Yes, there is ample bedding for guests. The bed and mattress upstairs were comfortable. The double bed in the second bedroom was supported by two hard case suitcases underneath the sagging mattress. In the end the futon and sofa in the lounge room were used as that bed was very uncomfortable.
SMELL:
- There is a strange smell that was in the top bathroom - there is room deodoriser provided which was helpful.
- On our last day we could smell sewerage in the bottom half of the apartment. We decided not to say anything on the day as we were leaving very early the following morning so we just put up with it.
This accommodation was considerably cheaper than other options in the area. It is just a reminder that in most cases you get what you pay for.
- FRANCESCO (9/5): Una dolce coccola - Zona residenziale molto bella. Appartamento pulito, spazioso, confortevole e dotato di tutto il necessario
- Pierre-Marie (8/5): Logement calme, propre et bien situé à proximité de commerces et transport - Bien situé, proche commerce et transport, calme et très propre. Petites attentions bienvenues comme les fruits frais et les capsules de café. Bonnes indications pour récupérer les clés et trouver l’appartement.
- Rico182 (10/5): -
- Irena (10/5): -
- Martina (7/5): Für London absolut okay - Großzügiges Apartment über 4 Etagen. Die Wohnungstür, ein kleines Schlafzimmer und kleines Bad liegt im 2. Stockwerk (33 Stufen), nach weiteren 8 Stufen erreicht man die Küche und das Wohnzimmer, über weitere 8 Stufen gelangt man auf den Balkon und wenn man dann noch einmal 7 Stufen hoch geht wird man das große Schlafzimmer und das große Bad erreichen. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und sauber. Das kleine Schlafzimmer liegt zum Innenhof und ist für Londoner Verhältnisse recht ruhig. Die Schlüsselübergabe lief besser als erwartet und sehr unkompliziert. Ideal für bspw zwei Pärchen, da auf der untersten und obersten Etage je ein Schlafzimmer und ein Bad liegen und man seine Ruhe voneinander hat. Die Wohnung liegt zwischen zwei Krankenhäusern, da die meisten Räume nur einfache Glasscheiben haben (wie in London üblich) sind Krankenwagen und Polizei gut hörbar. Zudem ist im kleinen Schlafzimmer und im Wohnzimmer eine deutliche Luftzirkulation bei geschlossenen Fenstern spürbar. Die Heizung ist tückisch, entweder es ist unerträglich heiß oder sehr kalt. Das Wasser zum Duschen ist sehr angenehm, außer es wird noch eine zweite Wasserquelle geöffnet (Waschbecken, Dusche, Badewanne etc.). Die Heizkörper glühen förmlich, so dass man bspw. im kleinen Bad beim Toilettengang vorsichtig sein sollte, dass man sich nicht den Oberschenkel verbrennt. Das alles ist aber gut händelbar. Wirklich gefährlich ist nur der Balkon, der sehr glatt und mit Grünspan überzogen ist, die Nutzung ist nicht empfehlenswert. Zudem auch wenig ansehnlich, da vieles defekt ist (lose Elektrokabel, siedend heißes Wasser tropft aus der Gastherme und vertrocknete Pflanzen, allerdings wachsen schöne Disteln zwischen den Bodenfliesen. Nach langen Sightseeing Tagen in London sind 56 Stufen bis ins Hauptschlafzimmer schon eine Herausforderung!
- Harry (8/5): -
- Gonzalo (10/5): Buenísima ubicación, grandes anfitriones - Ubicación, comodidad. Recibimiento con fruta, café, leche. Aislamiento del ruido del tráfico
- Matthew (8/5): - The apartment was really well equipped with all the basics for a short stay. The heating worked well so we were always nice & warm. We had an issue with the apartment we originally booked and our host was able to offer this place as a replacement. We were grateful for them offering this resolution in a timely manner. The location is near some nice cafes & restaurants.
- Nuno (9/5): -
- Ana (10/5): Wonderful, large flat was perfect for our holiday in London - Beautiful flat with a lot of light and space! Had everything we needed and then some. Close to shops and restaurants. It was a little further from the Gloucester Road station than I thought when I originally booked it.
- Jeroen (10/5): -
- Carlos (9/5): - Ubicación
- Peter (7/5): ok but noisy and not at advertised location - Apartment fully equipped with kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine - good for a family stay Location was not as advertised (Knaresborough Place), but actually some 15min walk south next to cemetery (Redcliffe st)
We could hear everything from upstairs tenants having a halloween party so not ideal when you need a good nights sleep. Also single glazed windows = noise from the road
- Camille In Nagoya (8/5): - Convenient location not far from the main touristic location. Great value for money. We appreciated the amenities in the apartment: coffee, tea, fruit at disposition. Soundproofing isn't great and we could hear the sound from the main road (bring some earplugs). But to be fair, this isn't an issue specific to this apartment as I've heard London in general is terrible for this and we could see that even in fancy neighborhoods all windows were single-pane.
- Leslie (10/5): Great well equipped apartment in good location - Very well equipped apartment with lots of extras, such as fruit, milk, coffee, tea, shampoo, etc. Much better equipped than most other properties I've stayed in. The apartment was on the ground floor and was very easily accessed. The location was good, just off Earls Court Road, just a short walk to Earls Court Underground Station - easy access into central London on the Piccadilly line (6 stops or so). The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The Host had very good communication prior to arrival. Keys were collected a short walk from the apartment on the way from the underground station. Will be rebooking next time in London.
- Ilona (8/5): Een fijn verblijf, behulpzame hosts en met het openbaar vervoer dichtbij het centrum. Top plek! -
- Udo (7/5): - Lage Entfernung zu Restaurants und Verkehrsmittel Hinterhof Wohnung
- Karen Beate (8/5): -
- Sharon (5/5): NEVER TRUST THIS PLACE OR OWNER - Lovely apartment in Kensington. Spacious rooms & well equipped.
Ricky was very accommodating when we asked if we could enter the property early. We had an issue with the wifi which was resolved quickly We didn’t like that we had to pick up the keys from a shop 10 mins walk away.
Because we were leaving at 5am we arranged to leave the keys in the apartment.
That night at 9.15pm someone tried to enter the apartment without knocking or identifying themselves. We told him to leave and he returned 5 mins later banging on the door & aggressively telling us to leave as we were overstaying. He was threatening and aggressive asking through the door who we were & who said we could stay there so we did not open the door. We called the police and messaged the owner. The owner apologised and said there had been a “mistake” and these things happen. NO THEY SHOULD NOT!! The owner became more belligerent with every message saying we are insulting to him & his housekeeper is very polite!!
The Police arrived & agreed this was highly suspicious & we should report the behaviour to booking.com as well as themselves.
- Patricia (9/5): Excellent. I would go back. - The apartment was comfortable and was very well situated.
- Tebbetts (5/5): Not good for persons with mobility issues. - the apartment is very clean, spacious and comfortable, but it is not good for people with mobility issues. The location is hard to get to, necessitating a subway/tube and a bus ride. You will have to haul your luggage up 5 floor of stairs. 1)Not getting the address of apartment up front, it would have allowed me to plan for the extra time and expense of traveling to/from apartment to the sights that we wanted to visit. 2) Having to get/and drop keys at a different location ( it will be easier to have a keypad entry). 3)Owner told me in a very unpleasant way via message, that since we had an elderly person in our party with mobility issues, I should have known better, before making the reservation- well it does not say in the description of property that there are 3 floor of stairs to get to apartment and then 2 more floors of stairs once you get inside apartment.
- Hisataka (9/5): 再訪時には、また予約します! - いろいろなところへのアクセスが便利だった。入室前後に丁寧なメールでの説明があり、無料の飲み物や果物を用意してくださるなど、ホスピタリティを感じた。 カギの受け渡しと入室に少し手間取った。具体的には、カギ保管の委託先に正しい暗証番号を伝えるも、番号が違うと言われた。また、同じ建物の同じ階にもう一つフラットがあり、どちらのフラットなのかの説明がなかった(別の住人?のフラットのカギを開けそうになってしまった)。無料のwifiは、一部の部屋では接続しづらかった。
- Luca (7/5): -
- Julien (10/5): - Great and quiet location
- ingrid (10/5): Functioneel appartement op een rustige locatie dicht bij winkels en bezienswaardigheden - De grote ruimtes ( voor een accommodatie in Londen)en de rustige locatie ten opzichte bezienswaardigheden in Londen Niets
- Jesper (10/5): - Great location.
Nice apartment for family of 4. -
- Christopher (10/5): Great quiet location close to all London attractions - Collection of keys from a secure shop open 24 hours a day was perfect, amazingly quiet location, within easy reach of London by tube, taxi or uber
- Andrea (7/5): Loved it. Great central location. - Amazing location, walking distance to lots of landmarks and train station. Safe area. There are a few flights of stairs to access room.
- Suzette (7/5): Good location - Location 2nd bedroom & bathroom too small for another couple
- Carl (7/5): Very nice apartment in London if the weather isn't too warm - The apartment is truly lovely, as advertised. It has a nice outdoor balcony as well. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had a few items in the refrigerator that were appreciated. Although the host was not able to meet us on arrival, he arranged for us to pick up the keys at a fairly convenient location close to the tube station. The location was convenient for traveling into central London, or for going to the airport on the Piccadilly line. The air conditioning disappointed. It consisted of a couple of portable swamp coolers, which required having ice and/or cold water deposited in them. Our arrival coincided with some high temperatures, which these units could not cope with. We could not make enough ice, or make it fast enough to properly supply the swamp coolers so our nights were uncomfortably warm.
The walk to and from the Gloucester tube station seemed longer than the 1800 ft described in the listing, especially when carrying our luggage.
- Justinas (10/5): Exceptional - very good host, location
- Duncan (10/5): Nice Apartment convenient for Earls Court tube - Great apartment close to Earls Court Tube
- Michael (4/5): Felt ripped off. Will not be returning. - Complimentary fruit. I have never left a poor review on Booking.Com before but had to in respect of this apartment at 20 Redcliff Street, due to the quality of this so called Lovely apartment. It certainly was not Lovely. For nearly a £1000 for 3 nights air conditioning consisted of portable units and fans which were noisy. Flat was uncomfortable with poor quality beds pillows and furniture. The bed mattress did not event fit the bed frame. Second bedroom had double bed against a wall so person would have to clamber over partner to get out e.g. to go to the toilet. Bathroom and kitchen need replacing as tatty. Kitchen tap was loose, mirror on bathroom wall was in need of replacing and bath panel was worn. A third bed was left leaning against wall in lounge making the flat seem like student accommodation not a deluxe apartment. We were lucky couple who were supposed to join us on trip did not join us. Used milk salad dressing and jam were left in fridge and used grease proof paper on grill. I have photos to back up my posting addition to the four below.
This apartment and others on this advert should be advertised separately so they can be reviewed singularly and a true picture can be seen of each apartment for people booking. We were also supplied with only one key which you had to pick up from a shop about a mile from the apartment which you could not park outside as it was on an extremely busy main road. What a pain as you had to park on a side street and pay for parking. Why was there no key box fitted with a code on the apartment wall?
- Patrick (9/5): Superb - Excellent location, easy check in and check out, great neighbourhood to explore London from
- Edward (8/5): Great location and mostly updated apartment. - Check in and out is easy and seamless. The apartment is in a very central location with the train system very close. The kitchen and living area are spacious and inviting. Nice having a master suite bath. Parking a vehicle was difficult and the garage that was available was a 15 minute walk and not close. Apartment has been updated but no central air so very hot and uncomfortable especially at night. The bedding and pillows were worn/flat.
- Yelena (1/5): Skip it. - Nothing Unfortunately, this apartment didn't work for our family of four people.
1.The Inconvenience of having one set of keys( very old locks with 3 different keys) so we can't have any plans separately.And that added unnecessary stress to our plans and outings.One set of keys wasn't disclosed prior booking.
2.At the time of booking, I filtered my search for 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom ONLY ( because of 2 teenagers)and Lovely Ricky apartment appear on the top of the list saying 2 bathroom in description with short walk to Earls station.We arrived and it happened to be 1 bathroom, small apartment 20 min walk from tube station.
My understanding is that Ricky owns several places and advertised all his apartments under 1 add ( with mixed pictures).It's deceiving tactics, and my family wasn't lucky.
Again,this apartment is livable but not for a family of four in my case. Just want to share my experience. So, skip it.
And Ricky, it wasn't nice to turn off of TV service after you received my text .It's not a good move.
For a Deluxe apartment(per Ricky add) a hair dryer and dresser or a single chair in the room may help to justify Deluxe statement.
Booking.com,please create separate adds if the owner listed several apartments,so it's clear for a consumer.Not sure if the owner or booking.com is responsible for it.
- Pauline (9/5): Superb - The apartment is fab. Clean and bright. Really lovely extras with the wee fridge full of soft drinks, still and sparkling water. Fresh flowers, fruit, milk, tea, coffee and a jug of squash in the fridge . Toiletries also available. Feels like a home from home. Excellent communication from the host too. Having to leave so soon.
- Melissa (10/5): Thoughtful host, comfortable, clean, good facilities and location. - Well located (not far from Earl’s Court Station), lovely property, good facilities, comfortable and every effort by the host to ensure our stay was great - fresh flowers, fruit, coffee machine & pods, drinks fridge, laundry powder etc. N/A
- Jin (10/5): It was generally awesome and definitely worth the price. - It was just a 4 minute walk away from Earl's Court station, which was very convenient. The home itself was very cozy and welcoming. My friends and I really liked the place and will definitely consider staying again.
- Anne (10/5): Great family stay - The location is great and the apartment provides all you might need during the stay. For us travelling with two children it was very convenient to be able to cook in the evenings. Getting the keys was easy.
We also liked that it wasn't the usual "Airbnb deco style" but a real home instead which is a nice change.
Beds were comfortable.
And it was nice to be welcomed with fresh fruits and basic supplies like coffee, tea, butter, oil, vinegar etc. Some small things in the house need a little attention, but nothing important.
- Sonia (5/5): Disappointing, not Grand and not Deluxe! - The apartment was in a good location. It was only 10 minutes to walk to the tube station and it was close to shops and restaurants.
There is no key box at the property as advertised you collect from a local shop, but this was not difficult. The host was kind and let us check in at 2.30pm, we appreciated this.
The apartment was clean, the heating was good and there was plenty of hot water.
The mini bar has some good soft drinks for the teenages. The apartment is tired and poorly furnished. The main bed was not uncomfortable but the base is large and the mattress is small! The living room furniture is uncomfortable, with just one armchair and a hard bed settee to sit on it was not relaxing, it is not deluxe, more like student accommodation! Two of the dining chair need attention we did not dare sit on them. The mugs are chipped and some are stained.
Although it was generous to leave to food and drink for guests we were surprised that this including open packets, including half used items. Half bottles of wine, open mayonnaise, 1 tomato , open toiletries, it was almost as if they had left all the things behind from the previous guests.
The bathroom is old and needs replacing to make this 'deluxe/grand' accommodation. There are old mirrors on every wall in the bathroom, and yet not one in the bedroom to dry your hair. The plumbing on the basin is leaky. Everything works but it is tired and old.
The advertising is misleading. This accommodation is basic.
We travel extensively as a family and always leave reviews to help other travellers. we try and write fair and accurate reports. This is the first time I have be asked by a host to give them a top review, with a score of 10, and the first time I have been asked not to put anything negative but message the host with problems. The host needs to understand that this is not how reviews work!
- Kimberly (10/5): Great stay in London - Great location. Helpful and responsive communication from owners. NA
- Geoffrey (4/5): Disappointing - You need to collect and return the key over 1 km away from the property. One 1 key is provided though it was for 4 people so you can't go out separately. There is no lift so you will be carrying your luggage up 6 flights of stairs to the main bedroom though narrow stair ways. The second bedroom and bathroom are small. One blanket is provided for the bed and it is small relative to the bed.
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Its beautiful, clean & the staff was quick to respond to our queries & needs. We were just disappointed that the two apts that we booked were not adjacent to one another, making it inconvenient to book transport for all of us
- Catherine (10/5): Lovely cozy apartment excellent location - The property was lovely. Nice and cozy and excellent location. Ricky answered all my questions promptly. The apartment was a good size for family of four. The beds were comfy, it was clean and excellent location right near the metro. Highly recommend. Nothing
- Kevin (10/5): Great Property, Very Good Location, Close to Everything - Stayed here with Friends and this was a great location very close to Earls Court underground so you could get around London easily. The property was very nice and had everything you could ask for. We recommend that when you stay in London have a look ayt this property as it won't disappoint
- Gregory (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Very nice apartment for our short stay in London. Close to Earls Court Station. -
- Giovanni (9/5): Superb -
- Nora (9/5): Good place to stay for a family visit to London - Great location, close to tube station, shops, pubs & restaurants. Quiet building and good facilities.
Good communication from owner re key pick up & drop off arrangements
- Rachel (9/5): Superb - lovely location.
very helpful, answered questions promptly.
- Gayatri (8/5): Pleasant stay - We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in London! The location was ideal, with easy access to major attractions. The host was very thoughtful, providing fresh fruits, water bottles, and soft drinks, which made us feel extra welcome. The apartment was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. Highly recommend for anyone visiting London!
- Rico182 (10/5): Exceptional - Position is great for moving around London easily. Ricky and Giustina are very kind and ready to answer all your questions.
- Marijana (7/5): Great location, clean, very spacious and comfortable. - Really Clean, amazing location close to train station, super spacious for our family and great facilities such as a great washer and dryer. Couldn’t cook due to the blunt knives and weathered pans. Would have loved to have more plates and cutlery we couldn’t eat as a family we had to wash everything as there wasn’t enough.
- Wade (2/5): Place is just bad - Nothing Ricky, the way he advertises the rental is not correct and I tried to address with him once we got there but he refused or did understand what I was trying to tell him. He advertises as a bed in bedroom 1, a bed in bedroom 2 and a futon bed and sofa bed. There was NO sofa bed. As I told him my kids do not like to sleep in the same bed and that is who rented the place. Second this is his personal apartment and he rents when he is out of town so when we had to stop at some store and tell some person behind the desk a code and then they give you a key. Just real weird. Third he wants you to lie in case you are stopped by a neighbor he wants you tell if anybody asks that you are friends with him. Clearly he is not supposed to be renting his apartment out. He should not be asking anybody to lie for him. Also I sent him a message telling the dishwasher only opens halfway so really can’t use the dishwasher and he never bothered to respond. His response to me about problems about the beds is other renters have not had any problems. That is not a defense. Also the toilet would not flush it would take 3-4 times to get toilet paper down the toilet. I would never rent from him again. We have rented houses in the United States and other countries and this is by far the worst. I have never over 10-15 years renting homes ever given a bad review but I don’t like to be misled and asked to lie .
- Leire (8/5): Nice and comfortable stay in London. - it was clean and well located. Also the host was very kind and answered rapidly to our queries. The apartment was quiet and we could rest very well.
The kitchen was well equiped.
I would reccomend this apartment and I will have it into account for next visites to London. The only thing was that there was not a hairdryer and that we were 6 guests and there were only 4 chairs in the apartment.
appart from that, everything was fine.
- Ethel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ineta (10/5): It was very good. - Great location, lovely area, close to tube, very quiet and clean apartment, two bathrooms, comfortable beds and extra supplies. Don't even try to open a window! It's nearly impossible to close it...
- Jacqui (10/5): Exceptional - Beds were sooo comfortable. Very centrally located and in a lovely area. The extra supplies and bar fridge were really appreciated.
- Lorenzo (10/5): We forgot our iPhone and Ricky was extremely helpful in helping us recover it. -
- Amber (10/5): Posh location and comfy stay! - We loved this flat! So much room, comfy beds and nice extra touches like a fridge stocked with drinks, which is so nice after a long flight! Perfect location. Nothing!
- Szuyuan (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is located at an underground level and is clean and well-equipped. The exhaust fan in the kitchen was noisy and wouldn’t turn off.
Although the host did not respond to my message, they did provide us with a check-in introduction one day before our scheduled check-in.
- Nikola (8/5): Won't book again. Great property, location. Stressful host and stay. - Great assortment of fruits, tea and drinks left by the host for us! Great location. Good value. The host accommodated our early check-in and extra beds are available. Some gunk on shower curtain made me question overall cleanliness.
Very stressful for me to worry about communicating with host, threats of fines, unreasonable instructions posted all over the apartment and strange rules imposed by host after reservation with some terms like "you are implicitly agreeing to my message and if you don't agree book elsewehere".
I wish it was all known/specified beforehand on the property description so I could avoid this stressful experience and book elsewhere.
First booking that I've received huge message like that and a message after the fact trying to manipulate me into giving a 10 review. Good value, but very far from a ten.
I booked this property based on location and rating. I felt the property rating was over-inflated. Won't book again.
- Kealan (10/5): 10/10, couldn't have asked for any better. - The apartment was in a great location, clean, and very comfortable. Hosts were great and provided refreshments and other essentials in the apartment. The building is very quiet at all times which was perfect to relax in. Ricky was very helpful with the given instructions on how to check in while he wasn't present to meet up, and was quick to respond to any messages we sent regarding our stay.

Simple key collection and drop off.

A spacious apartment, complete with fruit basket and stocked, beverage-full, refrigerators, all complimentary as gesture of a warm English hospitality right in the heart of Chelsea and Kensington. Nothing
- Ahura (9/5): Superb - kitchen utensils (pots, pans, mixer) would be nice to update! It was a challenge to use sinks in the bathrooms, since hot/cold tabs are separate.

very close to Earl’s Court’s tube station
the facilities were clean and comfortable

- Webb (8/5): Very good - We found the location of the property brilliant and would strongly recommend this property if you are a family or group of friends and want to get around London without any problems. Everything was comfortable and served our needs as we were mostly out and about. We were able to cater for ourselves when necessary. My only negative would be that the decor is very old and dated and could do with an upgrade. However, it will not stop me from visiting this property again.
