Guest Reviews

• mackenzie (10/5): - The hosts were lovely to work with! The space was large and it was in the perfect location!
• Carles (10/5): Apartament ampli i confortable al millor barri de Londres - La ubicació, l’amplitut interior i la decoració Els coixins del llit una mica petits pel meu gust
• Marian (10/5): Awesome Apartment Gracious host - Vincenzo was a really welcoming,accomodating and helpful host. Excellent communication,clear access instructions and useful information to ensure a really pleasant,easy stay. Great location. A minute walk to High Street Kensington tube station. Bus stops to central London ,Portobello Rd.,Marylebon,within 2 minutes walk . Fantastic selection of restaurants,Lebanese, Georgian ,Italian,Indian,European . Great high street shops and boutiques. Short walk to Kensington Gardens,Holland Park,Leighton House.Lots of little hidden streets and walks with unususl shops and bars eg.Kensington Church St where we found among others "Garnet"a really unique jewellery shop and The Elephant &Castle Bar. The apartment was spacious,immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Was great to come back after a busy day and chill in the lovely living room . Would have loved to have had a few more days there. Definitely top of list for return visit. Cant think of a thing
• Kristo (10/5): -
• Lucy (10/5): - Great location, spacious and modern Nothing
• Tiffany (10/5): Perfect location in a spacious apartment! - We loved the location (one block from the Tube), it had amazing space inside (living room was spacious, kitchen had a large enough table to seat everyone, and bedrooms were large), bathrooms had heated floors, and the handler Vincenzo was friendly and on top of it for any issues we had during our stay. It has a lot of stairs, so if you have heavy luggage know you’re going to have to carry them up yourself.
• Erin (8/5): The apartment is spacious, nicely decorated, and offers visitors excellent convenience for a short stay in South Kensing - The location is great: within reasonable walking distance to Kensington palace and gardens, Hyde Park, and the V&A. A wide variety of shops and restaurants just steps away. Our favourite coffee shop, Joe and the Juice, is a few doors down. Five Guys burgers litterally at the doorstep and Nando’s chicken a couple of doors down. The Scarsdale Tavern is worth the 10-minute walk for a pint and amazing food. The Design Museum is within a short walk, as well as Holland Park, which we discovered by happy accident one evening. We loved that it had 4 bedrooms and a large kitchen and living area, as were travelling with our kids and an elderly parent, so there was ample space for all to be comfortable. The hosts are lovely and very responsive. We signalled a cracked and leaking iron which had not previously been reported, and Vincenzo was quick to offer a replacement for the following day. Once inside the building there are 3 flights of stairs to access the apartment, which can be somewhat challenging for anyone with mobility issues or heavy luggage. While we loved the centrality of the apartment, we did not expect so much noise to enter through the windows given we were a couple of floors off the main level. The windows are not well insulated for sound, and that was the only real negative about the apartment. We slept well the first night due to travel fatigue, but the following two nights we heard noise (police sirens, honking, some yelling) that disrupted sleep during the night. That said, we would likely stay here again due to the ample space and convenient location the apartment offers.

• Monica Elena (9/5): Clean, stylish, great communication, and perfect location near the subway. - The house was very clean and nicely curated. Communication with the host was smooth and quick, and the location was great, close to the subway and easy to get around. Would definitely stay again!

• Nuala (7/5): -
• Karin (9/5): Fijn verblijf op prima locatie in London - -Locatie; in levendige straat met alle mogelijke winkels op loopafstand. Ook dicht bij metro, Royal Albert Hall en Kensington palace. -Ruimte: 4 fijne slaapkamers met goede bedden en fijn linnengoed. -Ruime woonkeuken en woonkamer. -Communicatie met host: verliep vlot en correct -Had iemand de trappen al genoemd😉? ( we vonden het erg meevallen)
• KASSIM (10/5): Vincenzo was very proactive, instructions given were crystal clear - overall a good feel to leave London with, as it’s o - Location is superb, right on High Street Kensington, near the tube station Clean apartment - interior design is tasteful and feels posh ! Had to climb 4 flights of stairs - as this Victorian building is preserved, not able to add a lift, I’m told 💁🏻‍♂️ Not easy with a grp of 7 and a baby in tow, with our luggages
• Sirpa (9/5): -
• Vanessa (10/5): Amazing apartment in Kensington with great connection to central London - Vincenzo was incredibly kind and helpful. He sent us very detailed arrival instruction via Whatsapp that included a video of how to use the key box and what the entrance door to the apartment building looked like. He was also quick to respond to questions. The location was also amazing. It's a 5min walk to the next subway station, with connections to the circle and district lines. All necessary shops - such as grocery stores and restaurants - are in walking distance. We're gladly recommending this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in London. Nothing to note here :)
• Cecilia (8/5): - Nice location It has 4 bedrooms and only 2 bathrooms
• Roqaya (9/5): -
• Stefan (10/5): THE place to stay when in London! - Lage, Ausstattung und Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber waren hervorragend!
• Zoe (8/5): We all really enjoyed our stay here and would happily come back and stay again. - It was spacious and modern. Close to the tube station and was in a great location. It had normal wear and tear with a few stains on the carpet.
• Ayse (10/5): -
• Margherita (10/5): Tutto perfetto! Ci siamo sentiti davvero a casa! - Abbiamo soggiornato a 181 Kensington High Street e l’esperienza è stata fantastica sotto ogni aspetto. La casa è spaziosa, moderna e super accogliente, perfetta per rilassarsi dopo una giornata in giro per Londra. Ogni dettaglio è curato e si vede che c’è attenzione e gusto. La posizione è impareggiabile: sei letteralmente nel cuore di Kensington, con tutto a portata di mano — metro, supermercati, ristoranti e negozi. Un grazie speciale a Vincenzo, l’host, che è stato gentile, disponibile e sempre reattivo. Ci ha fatti sentire i benvenuti fin da subito, e questo ha davvero fatto la differenza. Ci tornerei volentieri e lo consiglio senza esitazioni!
• John (1/5): Absolute disappointment - Feces in the toilet, ants in the bathroom, filthy fridge/freezer, dirty utensils, stained carpet, hair in the beds, dusty everywhere. The host has ghosted us and won't reply. We had to move to a hotel immediately because of how dirty it was. Owner won't refund our money and booking.com continues to try to reach out to them but they won't respond.
• Dottie (10/5): Had a great week in London! - Very convenient to tube, restaurants and grocery stores. Very spacious apartment.
• Michael (10/5): Great location and apartment - Great location. Tube only a block away. Plenty of nearby pubs and food options. Apartment was very clean and comfortable for family. Kitchen had everything you need We knew there were a lot of stairs. Would be difficult for those with mobility issues. Tough after a full day of touring
• Rowan (10/5): A charming, spacious, and well located property with helpful and attentive staff. - The property was charming, spacious and well located. The staff were very helpful and attentive with excellent communication. The construction next door. The property also could have stood to have a slightly deeper cleaning.
• Edwards (10/5): Perfection. - Clean, comfortable and great location. Many restaurants near by and close walk to the tube. Nothing
• Mary (10/5): Great spacious place in central location - Spacious house with plenty of room for up to 8 people. Nicely furnished and it was good to have 2 bathrooms with toilets. Great location with train station, buses, restaurants and supermarkets all close by. There was scaffolding surrounding the building which meant we couldn’t access the balcony and the windows were covered. Workers looked in on us a couple of times while we were in the kitchen. Hopefully the renovations will be finished soon because it is otherwise a perfect place to stay
• Marlene (8/5): fantastic place to spend a few days in London - Really spacious and nice decor and floors. Very comfortable beds. Friendly and helpful host. Clear access instructions. Flat is close to the parks and is literally next door to a nice breakfast restaurant. the current scaffolding blocking out any view at the moment making the flat much darker. However this should be only a temporary disadvantage. everything else is great and convenient.
• Michelle (10/5): Really enjoyed our stay. Great location and apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. Host very friendly and -
• Lynn (10/5): Great location to enjoy city of London - Perfect for our group! Great location. Beware of flights of stairs . Great exercise😍would definitely stay here again.
• Leanne (7/5): Good - Great location, close to tube station and a very nice area. Lots of room for a group of 8 people.
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sina (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Brilliant, brilliant stay - Great host and brilliant property. Only complaint was central heating. We could do with a video of how to set the temperature at a reasonable one. No big issue as we turned the heating off as the property was warm
• Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caterina (10/5): We really liked it and it was very well located, clean and the owners very helpful and gave us good tips on restaurants - Clean, well located and very comfortable
• Charles (10/5): Restful and comfortable - Location and comfort were above and beyond! We felt supported by the owner and were impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the apartment. Not applicable.
• Brandy (9/5): Wonderful stay! Would definitely come back! - Spacious with plenty of room, wonderful location and all the comforts of home! Lots of room for a family and great kitchen!
• Marco (9/5): Superb -
• Giovanni (10/5): Excellent place for a large group - Beautiful clean and spacious great for a large group of people. Very modern the beds were very nice. The hosts had excellent communication. The location was excellent. You certainly are paying a premium price. For the location and the facility.
• Caitriona (7/5): Good -
• Theressa (10/5): Lovely, comfortable, quiet and close to metro! - We loved everything about this property, it was the best house on our trip! All rooms and beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast in the morning before we started our long days wandering about and it was next to grocery and shops. The metro was about 5 min away and that made everything so convenient, if it wasn’t in walking distance you could easily navigate the London metro and get wherever you were going. We specially loved the dual wash and dryer - couldn’t find that anywhere else! Vicenzo assisted us in receiving a package during our stay which was successful and made for a smooth check in and out experience! We had no problems with the stairs ourselves but we could see if people had heavy bags and might not be able to make it up 4 flights of stairs and the additional flight inside the apartment to the kitchen area and bathrooms. Europe doesn’t do lifts/elevators in older buildings, so we were prepared for that!
• Maryann (10/5): When we come back we definitely will check to see if this flat is open. - Highly recommend. Hosts were very responsive. Very clean. Perfect location!! You’re on a busy street so street is loud but with ear plugs it was no problem.
• Laura (8/5): Comfortable , large home in a fantastic location! Very responsive host as well to cater to our needs in a timely manner. - Location was great Felt like a “home” / very spacious and modern. No fan in bathrooms No bath-wash, shampoo and conditioner.
• Nicole (9/5): Great Location and Perfect for a Large Group - We Loved the ease of check in and the location. It is right near Hyde park and the tube station. Lots of room for our group of 8. We enjoyed the downstairs living room as well. The amount of stairs were difficult for the 3 older members of our group. The apartment is up 3 flights of stairs and then an additional flight of stairs to the kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and the bathrooms. When traveling to Europe, stairs are hard to avoid but this was a lot for our group. I wish it would have been mentioned in the description or had photos indicating how many we would have to deal with. Overall the apartment is very nice and location is perfect.
• Robert (10/5): Would definitely stay there again - Great location; Fit all eight of us very comfortably. Host was very responsive.
• Amy (10/5): Beautiful flat in a prime location. Highly recommend! - The location of our flat was brilliant! We were one block from the tube and had plenty of stores/restaurants right there. Our host, Vincenzo, was easy to reach and answered any questions quickly. When we eventually make our way back to London, we'd stay in this flat again in a heartbeat.
• Barb (7/5): It was OK. - It was a nice place to stay. It was clean. I missed somewhere that there was 45 steps up to the apartment. As I am disabled, that would have been a nice thing to know as I would have booked something else. Apartment was clean, but if you looked at the bathrooms, there was some mold. But that is probably expected with the damp weather. We had to run immediately to the store and get paper towels, Kleenex, and coffee. Those were three things I expected would be there for at least the first day. I would not book this place again. I think people need to be warned about the many stairs to the flat. It was miserable for me.
• Steven (8/5): Fantastic area and a great house - Location and set out All good
• Denis (10/5): This flat is just perfectly located, comfortable, very spacious. - location is just perfect. Proximity of subway, all proximity shopping and restaurant available in the area
• Annabel (10/5): Great location. Accomodation was very adequate, there are a few stairs which is a bit of a challenge - Location was fantastic, plenty of room for 6 adults. Loved the laundry facilities at the property. Easy to get around. Host was very accomodating. Nothing.
• Mark (8/5): Comfortable apartment. Lots of stairs! - Plenty of space. Upside down layout with kitchen and bathroom in the top floor
• Karna (10/5): Overall, excellent stay in a spacious flat that allowed all of the family to be together! - Excellent location on Kensington High Street and we walked to most of our restaurants, tourist locations. So accessible and comfortable. It was also extremely easy to get the keys in a lockbox and get right into the flat. We did not know about the floor flights of stairs!!!! It was tough lugging our suitcases up the stairs.
• Jenine (10/5): Super apartment in great location - Great location very close to Underground Station with lots of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets. Excellent communication from host with easy keybox entry and a fabulous and spacious apartment Nothing
• Cora (10/5): Perfect stay! - Wonderful stay here, the flat is amazing, so spacious, clean, and the heated flooring in the bathroom was a bonus! Location is 10/10 being so close to the tube. Communication from Vincenzo and Claudia was excellent and they really went out their way for a few requests for us! Spoilt for choice of restaurants, cafes, grocers and fast food, all at your doorstep. As the property is on the main street, it can be noisy with traffic and early bin uplifts, however, this won't stop me from booking this place again!
• Daniel (7/5): See above - Location was superb. Very near the Kensington High Street tube station. Many, many restaurants within walking distance. Love the area. I would have rated this property higher than a 7 but for one reason. Booking.com was silent as to whether this property had an elevator. So I specifically asked because someone in our party has heart/respiratory issues. The response I received was there was no elevator but it was only about 20 stairs to navigate. So I booked this property as the person in our party felt they could navigate 20 stairs. In fact, there are 43 stairs to navigate to the apartment and, once in the apartment, another 17 stairs to get to the kitchen and main bedroom. So 60 stairs in total. I should have received an honest response on how many stairs there are to get the apartment. I would not have booked this property if I knew there were 60 stairs to navigate, given the heart/respiratory issues of someone in our party. Booking..com must put this access issue (eg, how many stairs need to be navigated) on the description of this property.
• Wim (10/5): perfect - top stay. Super large appartment with four spacious bed rooms, a spacious living room and very well equipped kitchen. nothing
• Amy (10/5): Excellent home, clean with great facilities - Great location and facilities Nothing
• Sha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benjamin (10/5): PERFECT STAY! - Great stay and great host. Highly recommended!
• Desiree7788 (8/5): very clean and nice house - perfect location and very near the tube and bus station,that sofa is the best of my life , very comfortable and so beautiful the range hood not work
• Sarah (10/5): Great design, location and host. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - Vincenzo was very friendly, helpful and kind. Claudia created a tasteful interior design, retaining the character and history as we had hoped for. Quality furnishings, linens and touches such as the arazzo in the living room and the colour scheme of the bedrooms set the scene for a lovely holiday in the vibrant Kensington neighbourhood. Nothing
• Franke (10/5): Highly Recommended - I recently had the pleasure of staying at the breathtaking Vincenzo's property on High Street Kensington, and it surpassed all of my expectations. Its prime location, great amenities, and impeccable attention to detail make it an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a memorable stay in the city. Nothing
