Guest Reviews

• Maia Antonella (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente, se encuentra en una zona hermosa y muy accesible desde cualquier punto de la ciudad. Nada
• Carole (4/5): - Location was great Communication very poor. Mould on bathroom ceiling, fluff, dust collection under washer. Extra bedding stained & had no covers. Linen too small for bed & no matress protector means you ended up on bare matress. Unhygenic.
• Miklós (8/5): Tökéletes választás! - Nagyon-nagyon jó helyen található a szállás, mindössze pár perc sétára a metrótól (HSK). A környék tele van színvonalas üzletekkel, így minden könnyen elérhető volt. Modern jó berendezés, és felszereltség csak ajánlani tudom, bármikor visszamennénk. Építő jellegű észrevétel: az étteremre néző ablakok szennyezettek voltak, és egy kenyér vágó -éles- kést hiányoltuk, de ezeket kompenzálták a pozitívumok.
• Madeleine (5/5): - Sovesofaen i stuen var ikke god. Man kunne mærke alle fjedrene. Der er enormt lydt og da lejligheden ovenpå blev lejet ud, larmede det meget. Der var sorte fugtpletter i brusekabinen
• Ana Mª (7/5): Apartamento ideal por zona y cercanía a Londres - El apartamento estaba bien en general, la zona es muy buena y tranquila, muy cercana al centro de Londres. Se podrían actualizar los colchones y el sofá-cama para ser más cómodos, así como los fuegos e incluir más utensilios de cocina. La limpieza del mismo podría mejorse.

• Alexander (7/5): Good location but very unclean. - The location is excellent. The apartment has been nicely renovated in the last 10 years. The apartment was very dirty. The kitchen needed to be cleaned for two hours before we could use it. The kettle was so dirty we could not use it. We did not use the oven or microwave for the same reason. The fridge needed complete cleaning. The bathroom needed cleaning and disinfecting. The windows were so dirty that it was difficult to see out of them. The wardrobe was full of bags of used sheets from previous tenants. There was little room for our clothes due to this. The carpets throughout were stained and dirty, although the carpet in the common area stairway seemed very new and nice.
• Paolo (9/5): -
• Nawaf (3/5): - قربها صغيرة جداً
• Niall (3/5): Overpriced and needs some attention, photos arnt acurate - Location was great I had to clean it before I settled , very grubby needs a deep clean. Felt the need to bleach everything before I used it. Couch also has seen better days and felt dirty. Mattress was the biggest issue , couldn’t sleep at all, could feel and hear every spring. Great appartment but needs some upgrading for the price asked and location standards.
• Ramanand (8/5): -
• Dragoș (10/5): - we had a 5 night stay/4 adults. the apartment was big enough to make us feel comfortable. the location is perfect if you want to visit london, located in an elegant and quiet neighborhood. you can immediately reach the center, by bus or metro. the beds were comfortable with clean linen, the bathroom towels were equally clean. the kitchen was well equipped with a nespresso coffee machine, oven, stove, refrigerator and the necessary utensils for cooking. i would come back to this apartment anytime.
• Rabia (7/5): İdare eder - Konumu Yataklar rahatsızdı, daha temiz olabilirdi. Dolap içleri gereksiz eşyalar vardı. Asansör yoktu
• Meyer (8/5): Great location! - Excellent location off High Street Kensington. Very clean Modern updates in historic flat Very good cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Good facilities Tube shower very nice Tub shower a bit tough on my elderly dad Steep stairs but they are fine if you are young/fit. Would tough with big luggage. Pulo out sofa was very helpful but would benefit from extra padding even for 1 person. No kitchen towel which was unfortunate but perhaps not typical.
• Anuksha (1/5): - The location was superb. Many locations are easily accessible. Closer to the Winter Wonderland. The property has not been cleaned, and cooking produces an unpleasant odor. There were no amenities in the apartment. Not neat. Facilities are poor.
• Fuster Monzó (10/5): -
• hELEN (8/5): Kensington apartment - Small, simple layout apartment, but with everything we needed. Great bath and shower. Pretty good communication. Limited towels but that seems to be the standard in the UK. Fantastic location! Beautiful. Safe yet lively cafes, bistros, pubs, shops, parks, public transportation. Kensington high street is a 5 minute walk. Thin Windows. You can hear everything from the café across the street, but everyone goes inside at 10 pm.
• Katrin (6/5): Gut gelegene Wohnung, jedoch renovierungsbedürftig, Wunsch nach mehr Engagement des Vermieters - Zentrale Lage der Wohnung in einem schönen, ruhigen Viertel mit diversen Cafés, Restaurants, Supermärkten und dem Hyde park direkt um die Ecke. Die Wohnung hatte eine Küche und ein Bad mit Waschmaschine und Trockner. Die Wohnung ist überholungsbedürftig. Fenster schliessen schlecht (und sind ungeputzt), Bad mit älteren Sanitäranlagen (Badewannenstöpsel schwer zu entfernen, Heizung schwierig zu regulieren), Küche klein mit ungenügend Besteck für 4 Personen (trotz Anfrage nicht aufgrstockt) und Bettsofa durchgelegen und zu klein für 2 Erwachsene.
• israel (10/5): Great location Flat in Kensighton - Great location and comfortable flat. N/A

• Marta (7/5): -
• Merve (4/5): The apartment is in a very central location, walkable to most of main attractions. The size of the house is quite nice f - Clean Central location Good size Facilities Bed, very uncomfortable Noise from upstair, no isolation
• 선미 (5/5): -
• NEVIN ALIIBRYAM (10/5): Aile için muhteşem konum - En çok konumunu sevdik. Toplu taşımalara ve bir çok bilinen noktaya yürüme mesafesinde. Bir üst sokak olan Kensington High Street'te ihtiyacınız olan her şeyi kolayca bulabilirsiniz. 2 çocuklu bir aile için tesis ve konumu harikaydı. Kesinlikle çok temizdi. Çarşaflar ve havlular paketlerinden yeni çıkartılmış gibiydi. Mutfakta bir ailenin ihtiyacı olan her şey mevcuttu. Teknolojik cihazların hepsi çalışır durumdaydı ve tüm ihtiyaçlarımızı karşıladı. Ev sahibinin varış gününün öncesine kadar mesajlara hiç dönmemesi, iletişime geçmemesi tedirgin etti. Varıştan bir gün önce tüm detayları açıklaması bunu telafi etti.
• Sebastiano (8/5): Più che buono anche se... - La posizione dell' immobile è perfetta per chi vuole visitare Londra. La casa non è molto grande ma è stata studiata molto bene in merito alla distribuzione degli spazi. Solo come suggerimento, migliorerei le forniture della cucina come ad esempio tazze per caffè, scolapasta e bicchieri e cambierei il divano letto perché molto scomodo.
• JUAN ANTONIO (7/5): - La ubicación es perfecta, pues está cerca de zona comercial, de Hyde Park, de la estación de metro, y además es tranquila. Las explicaciones del anfitrión fueron muy claras. Los colchones no son muy cómodos, al no tener cortinas ni persianas opacas a las 5 horas el apartamento estaba iluminado como si fuera completamente de día, se escucha mucho las pisadas y ruidos del piso de arriba.
• Thanachinee (10/5): Of course, this place was very nice and next time we are back in London we will definitely stay here again. - The accommodation is clean, the location is very good, near restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores, near the park and tube and bus stations. The surrounding area is quiet, very suitable for relaxation. There were days when the room upstairs was a bit noisy, but it wasn't a big problem.
• Milliscent (7/5): -
• Evan Parker (7/5): Amazing location but lots of stuff didn't work. - The location was amazing! Right in the heart of London, just a few steps from Hyde Park and the High Street Kensington shops. We loved the restaurant right across the street. When we filled the tub for a bath, the stopper wouldn't come out, so the bath water couldn't flow out. We sent the hosts a message, and they wrote back that they "usually have used knife or something sharp to take it out after emptying the tub". They wrote that was a "trick to avoid any unnecessary call out charge from handyman". We asked if they meant that we should find something like a bucket and bail the dirty tub water into the toilet, and they wrote back "Then it should come out with a knife". I was surprised the hosts didn't apologize. Instead, they warned us we'd be charged for a handyman callout if we couldn't get the stopper out. Luckily, we were able to do it. (It would have alleviated a lot of stress if they'd just told us the tub didn't work ahead of time, or provided a rubber stopper with a grip that could be used to pull it out.) We had other problems with the facilities too. The drier didn't get our clothes completely dry. The lid to the garbage can in the kitchen was broken off. The towel warmer didn't warm our towels. The table was wobbly. But we didn't bother the hosts about any of this after the bathtub incident.
• Upreti (9/5): Superb -
• Angie (7/5): Great location, quiet, good for 2 people. - Shower was hot, shower pressure was good. Enjoyed having a bathroom and a bedroom with doors. Appreciated the fridge, although was very small. Loved the location. Easy directions to get the key. Communication was good with the property manager. Some of the furniture was broken, the main bed was very firm, the couch mattress was not comfortable. There were dirty sheets and towels from a previous visit in the closet that we were going to use for our own clothes. We would’ve liked an extra blanket or two for each bed. The bed and the couch bed only had a duvet cover. The windows had a difficult time closing all the way. Because it was quiet there, it wasn’t a big concern. We also used a noise machine.
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location close to many food options, shopping and transport. Not really an issue but the kitchen is very small. Didn't worry us.
• Ketchayong (9/5): Superb -
• Paolo (8/5): Very good -
• Rocco (8/5): Very good -
• Hannele (9/5): Easy stay in the heart of London - Location was perfect! Quiet neighborhood with beautifull buildings around. Appartment is suitable for family of four(with two kids). Mattress toppers could add more comfort in the bed and in the sofa bed.
• Lindsey (10/5): Cozy little flat in a great location - Great location, decently-sized for two people. The couch was actually quite comfortable to sleep on without pulling out the mattress. Functional little kitchen, everything was clean, shower was fine with enough hot water. Wifi was pretty slow, although reliable.
• Savvas (10/5): Exceptional - Location was spot on and the host was amazing and helpful!
• Michael (10/5): Great apartment for family for 4 in High street kensington - Great Apartment just at high street kensington and host is very nice and responsive
• Georgi (10/5): A great place for a family vacation. - Clean and nice place, the heating was working constantly and it was warm.. Great location, quiet neighborhood, 3 minutes away there are buses and metro. The internet is good, large bathroom with bathtub, next to the apartment there is a local shop and bar. The hostess was responsive and very correct. In short, it is worth staying in this apartment. A small note, for 5 days there were two rolls of toilet paper for 4 people, we had to buy from the store. All the sockets were for English standard, we also had to buy adapters.
• W (8/5): Very good - Location and convinience
• Avni (10/5): Exceptional - Best location, just off the High Street Kensington, Hyde park just mins walk, we stayed with family of 4 people, very comfortable has everything to cook meals. Whole foods close by was great help to all groceries. Lots of restaurants and high end super store for shopping Will recommend to everyone
• Noelene (8/5): Fantastic, especially for 2 -3 people. Loved the local feel and everything was at you finger tips - Love that is was so central and in a local feel area
• Golam (8/5): Very good -
• Istvan (9/5): Superb -
• Valerie (6/5): Pleasant - Fantastic location. Easy access to shops, cafes, restaurants and public transport. Quiet. Photos seem to be of another unit as decor, carpet different. Photos appear to be a unit that may have been slightly upgraded. Sofa mattress very uncomfortable. Bed was on a slant, possible problem with the frame. Could use with an update and deep clean.
• Theodora (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place. Had a great time.
• Hussain (6/5): Pleasant -
• Megha (7/5): Good -
• Alex (1/5): Disappointing Stay Due to Unplanned Maintenance Work - Location I recently stayed at this property for 5 days, and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. On the second day, we were startled by a knock on the door at 7 am, informing us that they needed to change the entrance door. Initially, we were worried someone was trying to break in. After finally contacting the owner, we learned that he had forgotten to inform us about the scheduled maintenance. We reluctantly allowed the workers in, and for the next several hours, three grown men were working in our hallway. This was incredibly uncomfortable for my teenage daughters, who did not want to leave the room and felt too uneasy to use the bathroom. As we had to leave the apartment, we had no choice but to trust the workers with all our belongings inside. For the following two days, the work continued throughout the apartment. We were constantly disturbed by the sounds of hammers, drills, and saws early in the morning. This was far from the peaceful and relaxing stay we had paid top price for. These maintenance works are typically planned well in advance, and the owner had ample time to inform us and offer the option to book another place. The lack of communication and consideration is totally unacceptable. To add insult to injury, we did not even receive an apology or any form of compensation for the inconvenience caused. I would strongly advise future guests to confirm that no maintenance work is scheduled during their stay, as our experience was ruined by this oversight.
• Salim (9/5): Superb - The apartment is well organized, clean, and in great location. The bathroom and kitchen are equipped with all things required. The apartment needs AC. Beds needs to be changed, as its worn and not in good condition. Rooms are small.
• Wissam (8/5): Very good - Prime location away from heavy traffic, nice neighborhood, convenient due to nearby supermarkets and excellent restaurants
• Sandrine (6/5): Close location - Close to everything The doors with in the rooms would always close and need door stoppers and hit me a few times and stairs are not good if you are traveling as you have to take them up the stairs.
• Emilio (9/5): Superb - Great location and value for the money
• Pınar (7/5): Good - location is great. apartment is cozzy and enough for a short trip. As a family of 4 we had a comfy stay. Kids shared the sofa bed in the living area and we had our own room which was needed for us for some privacy. ıt can be cleaner. This was our second stay in this apartment and I brought my own pillow covers and towels. There was a little mold problem in the bathroom. Kitchen supplies need some renovation.
• Kerry (9/5): Superb - Distribution of the apartment and location, comfy beds and very quiet. The bathroom window was difficult to open and clean and a couple of kitchen amenities could be added.
• Aga (3/5): Dirty and outdated place with misleading pictures. - Location, nice area easy to get to city by tube. Dirty and outdated. Beds and sofa bed stained and dirty. Windows and window blinds cover in dirt. Window in bathroom broken and they just placed the towel to prevent draft. Windows in Livingroom were not protecting from noise and wind. We could not adjust the heating. Very small. Not enough cups and glasses.
• Guido (8/5): Great stay. Will consider coming back! - Good size and excellent location. Comfortable place. The bathroom is not great
• Pınar (8/5): It was a lovely stay, eveything was okay at the end. It may be a bit more clean - The location was great. Apartment was clean but the carpets had a smell which was a bit problem The stairs to the flat was so narrow and had a bad smell
• Cameron (9/5): Superb - Great location
• Roxana (8/5): Confortable place with an amazing location. So close to High Street Kensington undergrand station. - The location was really good. The bathroom didn't have ventilation.
• Anna (8/5): Really good stay, superbly located! - This guest house was cute and nicely furnished, clean and spacious. It is an English traditional apartment and it had - if not all - as many facilities as needed. It was located on a street really close to many restaurants, PUBs and a supermarket, though its street itself is quiet. The metro station nearby was perfect to reach all the main sites. We loved it! Our host, Mr. Dinesh, was very helpful and always responded to my messages quickly. We would definitely choose it again if possible! 1. I was with my husband and my 6 yr old daughter and I had to sleep with her on the sofa-bed, which was not really comfortable. For people with back problems looking for a longer stay, it may be a problem. The sofa also had to remain opened during our stay, because we were afraid to close it and not being able to open it again. 2. Two flights of narrow stairs may be a problem if you carry too many bags with you or heavy ones. My husband is a strong man and was able to bring them up, but I think if it was me alone, I would have some problems to do so. 3 The internet worked well, but I couldn't connect it with the TV. We had tablets, so it wasn't an issue for us, although it may be for some people.
• Natasha (8/5): Very good - The apartment was ideally located, very central and a lovely area. Nice quiet street but minutes from hustle and bustle. The apartment had everything needed, all very basic but in working order. The apartment was very basic for the area, basically you are paying for the location. It has everything, but it is old and outdated and little thought has gone into decor. The couch is not comfortable for example, and the shower head was old and really hard to use. The bath plug didnt work at all. But it really does have everything, its just basic.
• Sharon (8/5): very satisfied - everything was good
• Leonardo (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment has an excellent location, close to coffee, restaurants, and supermarkets. A few minutes to underground and bus station. It's very clean, big and complete for cooking and washing clothes. The host is very friendly.
• Zuberbuhler (10/5): Very nice and quiet neighbourhood - Great location, very nice host Smell in the hallways and stairs
• Amir (8/5): Over all good stay - Excellent location Late check in time
• Tadej (8/5): Very good -
• Diana (7/5): Good -
• Neha (7/5): Good -
• Anjali (4/5): Disappointing -
• Bhavick (6/5): Pleasant -
• Melissa (8/5): Excellent location and Dinesh was really helpful. - Location and Dinesh was really helpful!! Bathroom
• Vivien (8/5): would stay again - Great location. Nice flat and owner was very attentive when we could not operate the Television A coffee machine, coffee and tea would have been nice and some instructions on how to use the washing machine and TV
• Candy (9/5): Superb - Beautiful apartment. Great location. Fantastic assistance from the host. The sleeper couch is a little uncomfortable, but was not an issue for 2 nights.
• Nika (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (9/5): Superb - Great facilities, location and communication with owner. Thank you! Not much we didn't like. Everything was fine!
• Aileen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Therése (8/5): Excellent location - Excellent location close to the underground, shops, restaurants, and Hyde Park, yet on a quiet street. Nice host, easy check-in and check-out. A bit worn and not very sound proof. We could hear neighbors talking and walking. There was also some renovation going on outside the building, which meant that workers started throwing metal pipes around just outside our bedroom window at 8am. Wi-Fi was patchy. Some small things that would really improve the overall experience were: a few hooks in the hallway, to have somewhere to hang our coats, a dish rack to make it easier to clean up after breakfast, and at least a full set (four people) of forks, glasses etc. (there were only three forks for example).
• Wenke (8/5): Good location in a quiet spot - The property is located within walking distance to the Underground and several quality dining options.
• Sonia (9/5): very comfortable - spacious
• Judit (9/5): Nice apartment, gorgeous location! - Excellent location, so many things to discover within walking distance (museums, parks, shops)! The apartment was nice and comfortable. Our host was very helpful and always responded to messages quickly. A few small things would make the kitchen nicer to use: we would have appreciated a coffee machine or French press and a dish drainer.
• Barbara (7/5): Familiy Kensington stay - Location close to High street Kensington, but not on the High street, close to tube, buses, shoops... safe and nice area, well connected. Apartment smaller than on pictures but enough size for 2+2, providing living room, bedroom, bathroom and a small kitchen. Local supermarket conviniently just next door. Our contact Dinesh available on Whatsapp. Self admittion to apartment. Wall to wall thick carpet on the floor. Old wooden window frames, it took us a while to understand how to close them properly but they still do not provide good isolation either from noise or from cold, especially in the living room that overlooks the street, hard to sleep there. Sofa in living room not very comfy, it is quite rocky. There is no rubbish recycling option in this area, as it seems. Steep narrow stairs to 2nd floor.
• Shridhar (8/5): Very good -
• Brigitte (8/5): Very good -
• James (8/5): Very good -
• Jan (7/5): Good -
• Aja (9/5): A comfortable and convenient stay - I liked the location a lot. There was many shops, restaurants, and easy means of public transportation nearby. The space was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The stair case to get to the flat was very narrow. Some essential items were missing from the home (I.e. paper towels and extra toilet paper) which we had to purchase ourself. The sink in the bathroom would clog sometimes and not easily drain. The shower head wasn’t stable and easily fell making it difficult to shower at times.
• Azlan (10/5): Bright & Spacious 1 Bedroom Apartment at the Best Location in Kensington. - Location, Location, Location! Nestled just behind the shopping street of high street Kensington, it is the best place if you are a food hunter and shopper. Its location also makes it a short walk to other nearby streets such as Gloucester rd, Harrods as well as Science Museum. The room was big, the hall was spacious, the TV was great as it had Disney+, Netflix and more. My kids loved it. Theres also a washer dryer and a big toilet. Kitchen was small but its all we needed to make delicious brealfasts as Wholefoods was just a 3mins walk. Overall, i recommend this place highly. We had the 2nd floor unit, and the staircase was steep so it was difficult to carry up our big heavy luggages. Plus we had a stroller, so it was carried up and down most times, so to husbands, be prepared for some exercise.
• Melanie (10/5): A perfect place! - What a location! It was nestled away from the main street in a quiet back street that has some magnificent buildings around it. A little supermarket next door and 3min walk to the main street. Buses and the underground all within a 6 min walk. The apartment itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The owner was very helpful and communication was great. There was nothing not to like.
