Guest Reviews

• Matt (10/5): -
• Rhiannon Campbell (7/5): Great location, I need to find a physio to fix my back - The location was fantastic: very convenient to public transport, great cafes and restaurants, with a Sainsbury's & a Tesco nearby. The host was very friendly and helpful, access was very easy. We were not comfortable. The master bedroom was like an oven, even with every heater turned off our whole stay and a window open. The fans are not high enough to move air across the bed. The bed itself had a thin mattress, maybe 15cm. It would've actually been comfy except there's a huge ridge down the middle of the bed which means you have to sleep right on the edge and not move at all. It's just too thin for a thick slat base. Also the shower head in the ensuite is very low, it was at my husband's chest height, and the water alternates spurts of hot and cold instead of mixing them. The apartment is also very run down compared to pictures. Kitchen cupboards falling off hinges and black mould in the bathrooms.
• Mary (10/5): Lovely accommodation, would book again for London based visit - Comfortable and welcoming, fully appointed kitchen with pots, pans, plenty of crockery, clean bathrooms, great location for theatre & galleries, restaurants, grocery shops and tube all within walking distance. Linens and towels pristine. EXCELLENT communication with host. Clear video for accessing property. Nothing not to like
• Jafar (10/5): It was a good stay and a new experience. - The main area and kitchen have high, inviting ceilings, and the house is clean and has all the necessary appliances. It is a great unit for a large group or family. The unit has many, very small steps and may be problematic for those who cannot climb stairs, and it may also be difficult to lift and lower so many items, especially heavy and large items. There is no shower downstairs.
• Kathrin (8/5): - Nice appartment. Vinvenzo was very friendly, the instructions easy to follow. The rooms towards Hollandroad were quite noisy at night and the closest subwaystation unfortunately closed.
• Farrell (10/5): - Very comfortable beds and quality linens. Spacious enough for large group of people. Close to several bus lines and tube stations for easy transport into tourist London.
• Judith (9/5): - Het appartement was groter dan verwacht. Vooraf hadden we duidelijke informatie gekregen over hoe we naar binnen konden gaan. De sleutels lagen in een kluisje naast de deur. We waren wat vroeger dan de toegestane check in tijd. Vooraf hadden we al gevraagd of we de bagage in het appartement konden achterlaten. Dit was geen probleem. Toen we aankwamen, bleek het appartement al te zijn schoongemaakt. Dat was heel fijn. De bedden zijn heel stevig. Wij vonden dat prettig. De communicatie met de host hebben wij als heel prettig ervaren. Hij reageerde heel snel op whatsapp berichten (ze krijgen blijkbaar geen bericht als je via booking.com contact opneemt, dus het beste is een whatsapp bericht te sturen) Het is heel warm in de slaapkamers, maar er staat een ventilator. De 2 slaapkamers aan de voorkant zijn erg gehorig door de drukke straat die er langs loopt, maar met een paar oordopjes is dat probleem ook opgelost Hou er rekening mee dat het dichtstbijzijnde metrostation (Kensington,Olympia, op 5 minuten lopen) alleen in het weekend is geopend. Dat wisten wij vooraf niet. Doordeweeks vonden wij Earlscourt station (op ca 15 minuten lopen) het handigste
• DARIO (10/5): - Struttura accogliente e ben gestita da Vincenzo. Appartamento pulito e ben organizzato. Camere e spazi comuni ben arredati e ben mantenuti Stazione metropolitana dietro casa Nulla
• Elisa (9/5): Siamo stati veramente bene…Vincenzo il padrone di casa veramente gentile - Bellissima spaziosa e confortevole posizione ottima
• Paul (8/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vincenzo’s spacious, clean, and well located apartment. - Spacious. Clean. Proximity to Holland Park and Kensington High Street. Friendly and responsive host Vincenzo! Allowed us to drop luggage before check in time. Noisy street with heat necessitating open windows. Underground stations a little far (when booking I didn’t realize Victoria only services underground on weekends). Fans available to alleviate heat but some of them didn’t blow very hard or were very noisy - property would benefit from updated fans heading into the summertime.
• Mandy (9/5): Superb -
• Melinda (9/5): Loved our stay - Great location Location was so convenient
• Grace (8/5): Good - I wish there was a mat for shower with tub and a grab bar for getting in and out. Also wish there was directions for your appliances.
• Hany (8/5): Very good - Quiet and cozy apartment, well equipped. Vincenzo the host, charming and helpful as much as possible. The apartment is close to the station and convenient for getting around. Recommended for families who like space and privacy at the end of the day. Have a nice vacation :-)
• Hill (10/5): Great space for families to stay in London. - Easy access to public transport, restaurants nearby, spacious for family
• Benjy (9/5): Great location and host - Perfect set up for 4 adults. Great location. The rooms facing the road are a bit noisy but nothing too bad.
• Kerrie (7/5): Unfortunately not worth what we paid. Place was a little run down and could do with a deep clean. - Spacious and good location. Provided some extras such as plastic wrap in the kitchen which was nice. Beds were really uncomfortable. Pillows need replacing as they seemed soiled.
• Keisha (8/5): Comfortable stay, would book again. - Spacious bright apartment that had everything we needed. Great communication with host! Wasn’t as clean & up to date as we were expecting based on the pictures. Furniture is also slightly different from the pictures too so everything could do with an update. Check in time is later than we’d hoped but we were able to leave luggage.
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was so close to everything we wanted to do during our short stay in London. Our host, Vincenzo made arrival and departure so easy - thank you.
• G (10/5): Vincenzo was easy & friendly to communicate with. The apartment was spacious & as described which is - Vincenzo was easy & friendly to communicate with. The apartment was spacious & as described which is the always the case when you step in somewhere. Very smoothly process & a lovely clean & comfortable apartment Nothing
• Kirsten (8/5): Nice apartment with good value for money - Nice apartment with convenient public transportation, located in Kensington. The accommodation was clean and welcoming, with a well-equipped kitchen, though the number of pots was limited. The living room was tastefully decorated with attention to detail. Be aware that the apartment has a lot of stairs, which could be a consideration for some. The apartment features a spacious master bedroom and three smaller bedrooms, each around 7-8 m² with 140 cm beds. Two of the rooms are located to the back and therefore very quiet. The mattresses were quite worn out. While the master bedroom offers plenty of space, the smaller bedrooms have limited storage, which could be inconvenient for longer stays. Depending on the number of guests , the apartment can feel more or less comfortable. There are two bathrooms of which one of them is located within the master bedroom and a separate toilette. Overall, the apartment offers good value for money by London standards. Two days prior to our arrival, we were informed about a water damage in one of the smaller bedrooms. However, it seemed like the issue had occurred weeks earlier, as the interior surface of the wardrobe - the only available storage in that room - was peeling due to the damage. It was an unpleasant sight, though there was no longer any sign of moisture. It might be worth mentioning, that we were asked to provide a £250 cash deposit upon arrival, which led us to exchange unnecessary cash in our country of origin. In the end, the owner did not require the deposit.
• Rob (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emma (8/5): Very good -
• Angel (10/5): It’s a nice & unforgettable stay! - This apartment was a delight! Clean, spacious, and nestled in a quiet, safe, and affluent neighborhood. Vincenzo, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful. While the WiFi was a bit spotty, I would still highly recommend this accommodation to friends and family."
• Kathryn (9/5): Superb - Very spacious; options for travel; friendly and helpful host
• Jennifer (9/5): I would stay there again. - Location was good, there is a nice restaurant & pub in a two minute walk, very good food. I liked everything, except I could get the washer dryer combo to work right, but we hung dry and we didn’t need to wash a lot anyway. Hospital is near by but they do turn the sirens off at 9pm and just use flashing lights. So it wasn’t that bad. Everything was very nice, again we were very busy seeing the sights.
• Ruth (10/5): Great apartment for large groups - Extremely well appointed apartment in a very central location. The high ceilings in the living room and the kitchen were a great surprise. Kitchen fully equipped and great water pressure in the bathrooms. There was not traces of the issues reported by one of the reviewer so we believe the host, who was very kind and accommodating, took care of them. Highly recommended! PS: Thank you Vincenzo! Nothing
• Burton (9/5): Perfect family location for a London stay - Lots of space for our family of 6. Great location close to Kensington High Street tube station. Supermarket and loads of restaurants nearby.
• Wayne (9/5): Excellent stay and value for money - It was clean, comfortable and very spacious All was good. Despite the nearest tube station being closed during the week (Olympia) the property had easy access to the No.9 bus 300 metres away
• Julietta (7/5): Good - Great location, easy check in . Property more or less as described . Clean and tidy . Location and space.
• Eamon (10/5): Plenty of room and conveniently located. - Apartment was huge! Separate eating space, bedrooms were very nice size, especially the en-suite. Located just a short walk from restaurants, groceries, beautiful park, shopping as well as the bus and train. Bustling area but apartment was relatively quiet. Lovely space, would stay again if we were ever in the area. Lots of stairs, both full bathrooms were located on top floor. Not a problem for us but if you have an issue with stairs, know that there are a lot of them with this property.
• Danielle (10/5): So glad I had this home to come back to after running the London marathon. - Spacious for the group that stayed with me. Close to the bus and tube station.
• Hanne (10/5): Lovely stay in Londen! - A warm and cosy appartement with everything you need. Vicenzo was very helpful, always reachable. He gave us good tips - thanks for the cacciari's tip, lovely restaurant!!! The apparment was in a nice neighbourhood, not far from the city centre. Very good beds also! Nothing at all!
• Amanraj (10/5): Fabulous Apartment for a girls weekend - The property was excellent - lovely characterful kensington townhouse with ample space, and really tastefully furnished, - an added plus was that we travelled as a group of 3 and had a bedroom and a bathroom each, the facilities were great and the location super close amenities and underground station, very impressed & absolutely loved our time staying there There was absolutely nothing we disliked
• Ian (9/5): Superb -
• Omar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (4/5): Comfortable but photos show a better property - There wasn’t an Italian breakfast as the advert advertised. The owner transferred 50 pounds as an apology. The beds were comfortable. The home fits 8 people comfortably. The photos look like they have been photoshopped to remove all of the marks on the walls and in the bathrooms, and all of the cables everywhere. We were looking forward to this stat but disappointed on arrival as very run down compared to the photoshopped images. It wasn’t even the same kitchen cupboards as the advertisement.
• Yogindhri (8/5): It was a great space for 6 people. We had a pleasant stay and the owner was very responsive . - Location was good safe area and close to transportation
• Lindsey (9/5): Perfect for celebrating a special birthday with family! - Great size property for our family of 8. Spacious and plenty of seating for everyone. Good kitchen with a large dining table to seat 8. Property was clean and neatly presented. Close to Olympia overground (3min walk) and accessible to High Street Kensington. Great bus service on the number 9 that takes you directly into the centre of London. The property is on a quiet residential street with short stay parking available outside. Vincenzo was helpful and there was great communication in the run up to our stay and clear checkout / checkin instructions were provided! We would definitely stay here again! Slight musty smell in the bathroom upstairs and could do with a lick of paint on the stairwells, but this by no means affected our stay or overall thoughts on the property.
• Wendy (10/5): 4 friends had a lovely stay. - Property was near a tube station. Having 4 bedrooms was a plus. Clean and tidy. Communication with owners very good. Enjoyed our stay. Road is quite busy.
• Helen (10/5): Perfect base for exploring London - Great location just off High Street Kensington. Spacious, clean and comfortable.
• Sophie (9/5): Superb -
• Adrian (9/5): Great host, spacious accommodation and good value for money. - Close to Kensington Olympia station. Excellent pub, The Crown and Sceptre 100 metres away.
• Nicola (10/5): Great apartment with lots of space, super comfy beds, convenient location we will definitely return - It was a great night sleep for all of us as the beds were so comfortable. Our host was great answering our questions quickly. The location was just a short walk from the station, perfect for our children’s little legs. Lovely area in the living room to chill out before our full days ahead. Our friendly host was great answering questions quickly, we can’t wait to stay again with them in the future.
• John (8/5): Very good -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Mala (6/5): Unfortunately a disappointing stay. - The location is great. We had an issue with the apartment not being available on time. Was a little disappointed we weren't offered any compensation for the inconvenience. It wasn't necessarily the hosts fault, but it wasn't cleaned on time and we had to wait a couple of hours and change our plans. The photos are a little misleading, there are elements that definitely need updating. Breakfast was advertised, but not offered.
• Kelly (10/5): It was beautiful, comfortable and very convenient. - Location was central to what we needed It was great nothing not to like.
• Jeffrey (10/5): our group enjoyed our stay - very spacious and neat nothing
• Maha (7/5): Good -
• Michelle (10/5): Fantastic, well located, clean and spacious accommodation in an excellent area. - The property is very well located and convenient to multiple transport options. We found the house to be spacious for our family of six and we would highly recommend it to others as a fantastic place to stay in London! Nothing
• Ben (8/5): Very good -
• Robyn (8/5): Spacious, good location. - Everyone had their own beds and they were super comfortable! 25 degrees felt like walking into a sauna for us Canadians. We turned the thermostat down and opened all windows immediately. Unfortunately that led to a wee bit of an ant problem on the main floor. I was a bit disappointed on the “breakfast” included advertising. I should have read the fine print to realize that meant packaged oatmeal.
• Lee (8/5): Comfortable, great location, value for money. - Great location, spacious and comfortable amenities. A little more dated than presented in photos, limited bench space in bathrooms but otherwise great.
• Jay (10/5): Exceptional - Vincenzo was very friendly & helpful . Overall a very cozy place for family and nearby alot of nice restaurants.
• Marisa (9/5): Superb - The decoration of the house. The breakfast was a very basic set of porridge, coffee and lousy pancakes.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adriaan (10/5): Will want to stay here again. - Really good location to visit London. The apartment is certainly spacious, bright and comfortable and the host Vincenzo responded to queries we had and was helpful. There is no dedicated parking but we parked at the Hilton Olympia which is just down the street and took the number 9 bus in to the central parts of the city for all the attractions. We were fine, but if you have mobility issues- there are lots of steps and the bathrooms are on the top floor.
• Samantha (10/5): Exceptional - lovely spacious great location
• Richard (10/5): Staying here is a much better value than going to a hotel. 4 bedrooms with 2 1/2 bathrooms, living room and kitchen - excellent location with all the amenities you need
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - super location, our family group of 7 adults had some fantastic days in London with the apartment as our cosy base
• Peta (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and easy to get around.
• Yunhee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hung (9/5): Superb -
• Raymond (8/5): Great space and comfortable beds but not luxurious. - The owner was very accommodating to our situation and allowed us an early check in. The beds were very comfortable and It was nice to have some space. Easy access to come and go. There are some notable needs for upgrades to be luxurious. There was also a definite smell of mould in the upstairs main bathroom that should be taken care of. There are many stairs just to be aware of if this is an issue for some. It is also on a very noisy street with sirens and traffic noise day and night.
• Helen (9/5): Good, clean & comfortable accommodation in a good location! - Very clean, comfortable beds and well furnished. Perfect for a group. Friendly service - Vincenzo looked after us and was easy to contact. We were able to store our luggage before and after check in and check out. The location is good and it’s easy to get around London. Would definitely stay again😊 Don’t quite understand why the Italian breakfast included has got a 10 out of 10 as there wasn’t any breakfast as such, just mini pancakes wrapped in plastic. More of a snack really. I’m sure Italians eat more than that for breakfast 😂 Anyway didn’t matter as we found a great cafe nearby which offers great breakfast!
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Flat was great with decent sized rooms and a well fitted out kitchen and good amenities. Easy to get around with bus stop near by and walking distance to tube. Breakfast was advertised but was just some plastic wrapped mini pancakes and coffee not even jam so not really breakfast but not a big deal as not something usually provided in apartments.
• Alison (8/5): Very good -
• Irna (10/5): perfect place. will definitely come again. - the place was awesome. the comfiest place i have stayed in london.
• Nathalie (10/5): Exceptional -
