Guest Reviews

• Christina (9/5): A really lovely property that made our stay feel special. - It’s a really lovely property and very comfortable. It has a luxurious feeling. The steps from the street are very steep which made getting bags down very hard. This of course is not something that the owner can do anything about but is worth considering if you are older or have mobility issues.
• Maria jesus (5/5): Falta mantenimiento. - Ubicación y la amabilidad de Fernando. El departamento en sí es amplio y está muy bien ubicado, pero le falta mantenimiento urgente. Encontramos paredes con humedad, un lavamanos tapado y problemas con los colchones de las camas, entre otras cosas. Honestamente, de haber sabido que el departamento estaba en estas condiciones, no habríamos realizado la reserva.
• Eva-Maria (8/5): - Die Lage ist top! Gute Anbindung an die U-Bahn. Es ist sehr ruhig in der Straße, trotzdem ist man mittendrin. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants in der Nähe. Der Kontakt zum Gastgeber war sehr gut. Immer eine schnelle Reaktion auf Fragen. Ich hätte gerne gewusst, dass sie Wohnung im Souterrain liegt. An einigen Stellen blättert die Farbe in der Wohnung an den Wänden ab. Das macht keinen guten Eindruck. Die Nachttischlampe in einem Schlafzimmer funktioniert nicht. Das Fenster in einem Schlafzimmer zum Lichthof konnte man nicht aufstellen zum Lüften.
• Donna (7/5): Location was great. If they would take the time to fix the minor repairs this could be an excellent apartment - Location!! 2-1/2 bathrooms! Cute place but just needs some Updating The holes in the walls and peeling paint! Needs some TLC. Would help if they would mark light switches as they were very confusing. Bathroom sink very slow draining
• Caitriona (8/5): -
• Hassan (9/5): Amazing - Everything, specially dealing with fernando. Very supportive No AC
• Fiona (9/5): Well appointed and spacious apartment in a great location - Amazing location for our trip and the apartment is very spacious and well appointed Mattress in twin double rooms need replacing
• Shikha (10/5): -

• JACKIE (10/5): -
• Elke (10/5): - Het appartement is zeer ruim en licht. Mooi ingericht met alle benodigdheden om een fijn verblijf te hebben. De plek ligt dichtbij een metrostation waardoor we snel op de locaties konden geraken die we wilden bezoeken. Alles was prima in orde!
• Belén (10/5): Amazing - It is super nice and big The neighborhood is nice and quiet
• Guest (10/5): -
• Chelsea (9/5): -
• Scarter8686 (7/5): - Loved the apartment was very well equiped The mattresses in the double room could do with an upgrade as some of the bed slats are broken, and some hand soap in the bathrooms
• Roberto (2/5): - Lo que no me gustó, es que cuando llegamos nuestro apartamento tenía otros huéspedes y la explicación fue, que lo reservaron para la misma fecha. Después de esperar casi toda la tarde, nos buscaron una alternativa en una zona llena de obras y tráfico, nada que ver con esta zona.
• Erika (8/5): -
• Despina (9/5): - We stayed for two nights. The flat is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and the location is amazing. The neighbourhood is quiet and near the station. The team provided us with all the information required and were very quick to answer any questions we had. We will be booking it again! While the apartment is absolutely gorgeous, some walls have a little damage, nothing really serious. I will definitely chose it for our next visit.
• Marine (8/5): - La situation est top. Très bel appartement. Échanges très bien avec Fernando. La répartition des lits est super mais les matelas sont très peu confortables
• Mark (9/5): Ideal Kensington Flat - Humongous space, great bathroom and bedroom. Location and building are perfect. Lovely and clean, very responsive host. Hitachi TV with limited streaming options
• Alessandra (10/5): Tutto perfetto! - Posizione fantastica, host gentilissimo, mi ha aiutato a risolvere un grosso problema, appartamento veramente molto bello, in sintesi siamo stati benissimo!
• Barker (6/5): Great location, pleasant enough apartment. Could be better with small changes. - Location was fantastic. We visited the Royal Albert Hall so this accommodation was great for that. The place was clean, spacious and quiet. Some simple changes could make this place much better. There are damp walls with plaster falling off in one of the bedrooms and dining room. The mattresses were far from luxurious. We could feel every spring! We stayed in the room with 2 x double beds. There was only 1 x single use bottle of shower gel provided for 4 people. No hand soap at all.

• Kiera (10/5): -
• Arturo (9/5): - Pulizia, arredamento, 3 bagni, ampi spazi Niente ad essere sincero
• Macarena (9/5): -
• Hunt (8/5): LOVED this please. perfect location, super comfy and whisper quiet too! - Everything was great but some basics like soap bars would have been good, and perhaps some coffee pods and tea (there was some left over from other guests) but as a solo traveller for only a short stay this would have been a good addition.
• Franziska (9/5): -
• Eva (10/5): Tolle Wohnung in sehr guter Lage - Die Lage war top, die Wohnung war sehr sauber und alles zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war super und auf Fragen wurde sehr schnell geantwortet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden die Wohnung wieder buchen. 😊
• Idit (9/5): הדירה ממוקמת נהדר, מרווחת ומאובזרת בכל מה שנדרש -
• Julia (8/5): We had a fabulous stay and loved the apartment. - Fabulous location for our planned adventures. Beds are just so so comfortable - brilliant sleep. Very quiet location. Well equipped. Needs some TLC to be classed as “luxurious” but I do know, having communicated with the host, that plans are in place to attend to the issues.
• Fanny (10/5): -
• Sinead (9/5): Fabulous luxury apartment in a really nice area - Lots of room for our group and 3 toilets! The heating was very confusing and no instructions on how to work it
• Michele (10/5): This is a wonderfully located very comfortable, spacious flat with all the conveniences of home. Complete kitchen, laund - Location, location, location! Great neighborhood, convenient underground connections (Piccadilly, Circle, District lines) made it easy to get around. Property itself was quiet and comfortable. Minor things, the steps down into the flat and the step up into the kitchen/living area immediately comes to mind.
• Jamie (8/5): -
• Laura (10/5): -
• Flannery (8/5): -
• Danielle (9/5): Wonderful! - Great location! Nice neighbourhood. Lots of good restaurants and other shops (bakery, café, supermarket etc). Just a 4 minute walk to the tube station. Very nice and spacious apartment. Good for relaxing after a busy day in London Steep steps to the apartement, but not a problem for us.
• Heather (9/5): Lovely stay, great host, ideal location! - Quite spacious and well laid out. Clean and tidy. Great location - markets/shopping all around and close to Gloucester Station. Host was terrific!! Very responsive and helpful. More kitchen supplies and a clearer way to turn off the towel warmers.
• Denise (8/5): -
• Paulo (7/5): Fernando foi ótimo anfitrião. Atencioso. - Apartamento um pouco mal cuidado
• Landon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amy (6/5): While not perfect, it was a great stay and we enjoyed it! - The location was perfect. We truly enjoyed what was around us (little coffee shops, places to get something to eat, small grocers, restaurants, etc.). The place was overall pleasant. It was clean and tidy. Upon arrival we were excited and happy. Communicating with the hosts was also really professional and pleasant. They did their best to accommodate us and make sure we were good. We did run into issues, and they were timely in getting back to us and even making sure the issues were fixed by the time we got back for the day. The things we didn't like did not taint our overall experience. Again, we found it to be our home for five nights. We slept well and felt like we were safe. The home itself was cozy and we even enjoyed breakfast in the dining area. The check-in and check-out process was simple and easy. They were kind and let us use more towels and didn't charge us, Very nice hosts. I understand not everything is going to be self-explanatory and you have to adjust to the country you are in. However, we found a few things difficult. It came down to appliances and home systems. We could not figure out how to work the kitchen appliances and there were no manuals anywhere to help guide us. It got to the point we were in Harrods and I saw the same appliance company in the store that matched the appliances in the home; so, I went to them and asked for their help. Still, we had trouble using them. We ended up not using them like we thought we would (we had hoped to bring food home and heat it up and stay in for the night). It also made us worried that when we did use it, did we turn it off correctly, will it come back on, will the heat die down, etc.? We had no way of knowing if we were doing it right. Then we had questions and issues about how the showers worked and how the towel warmers worked (they were unbelievably hot and then would randomly turn off). We couldn't use one shower because it was backed up and wouldn't drain. We adjusted and were fine, and we did let them know and they helped where they could. But it did make a difference in out stay because of these things. I understand it may be unreasonable to try and create something for foreigners that would demonstrate how to use their equipment, appliances and home systems (i.e., washer and dryer, air conditioner, radiator), but it would really be helpful if the basics were covered in more detail. To be fair, they do have a portal where you can learn about some of these things, but some of the instructions and videos were outdated and not the same equipment. One last thing; the dryer was unbelievably hot. It didn't dry our clothes properly and we ended up just hanging them to dry on the dry racks. Again, all fine, but for my parents' first time in England, they found regular daily tasks a little harder with no direction on how to do it right.
• Abdulaziz25 (5/5): Passable -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable beds, exceptional kitchen, bright basement flat. Only about a dozen steps in and out. Quiet street, 10 mins from tube, 10 mins from Hyde Park, 15 mins from Royal Albert Hall and museums. Breakfast cafes and restaurants round the corner. You'll probably think there's no hot water on. Don't worry it takes about 5 minutes to arrive, it's fine! Couldn't find how to turn the towel heaters off though.
• Dafna (6/5): Not worth the money! - The appartment was under ground level, which was very disappointing. Also the apartment was lackink light since some of the light bulbs didnt work. Not enough hot work in the shower and not any hot water in the sinks. |
• Savanna (9/5): Superb - The flat was a nice size. Having the third toilet was convenient. The location was great. Just a short walk to Gloucester underground. All in all we were all very pleased with the place.
• Covadonga (4/5): Would not book again - The property itself is nice and very well located, there were a few things that didn’t work (coffee machine and oven) but overall a decent place. There were significant safety hazards during my stay, particularly concerning a lock that got stuck, preventing us from leaving the apartment until 5:30 pm on one of the days. Had there been an emergency, we would have been trapped. While the property manager eventually resolved the issue, my concerns were not taken seriously at first. Instead of immediately sending a locksmith, they tried to resolve the problem with a team member, which caused unnecessary delays. As a result, I missed an important work meeting, and my family missed a special event they had traveled to London for. I requested compensation for the inconvenience, but the property has not responded. Had this issue been addressed promptly and with more consideration, the disruption and distress could have been avoided.
• Blaithin (8/5): Very good - Location Nothing
• Lynsey (9/5): Superb - Excellent location and bigger than I thought it would be.
• Sinead (10/5): Just perfect, absolutely no problems and a super host. - Everything about this property was exceptional, location was perfect. Beds were comfy, great kitchen, lovely bathrooms. If I had questions the owner was very prompt with replies and very helpful. Overall no complaints at all, we loved it and would definitely stay again. Nothing, it was fantastic.
• Andrew (8/5): Very good - Great location Stairs are very steep to get down to door.
• Ιωαννα (9/5): Highly recommended, felt like home! -
• Nermin (9/5): Superb - the location is superb. so close to Gloucester road tube station, many supermarkets and coffee shops 5 minutes walk. The beds are so comfortable, connected bathrooms to both of the rooms. the second room had 2 big beds that could accommodate 4 adults. Everything we needed was available at the property. nothing specific
• Robert (9/5): Superb -
• Ania (2/5): If you enjoy cold showers in freezing temperatures, this apartment is perfect for you - When we arrived around 10 PM with three kids, the apartment was not prepared for visitors. It was freezing, and there was no hot water. On the first night, we had to sleep in our clothes because it was too cold. We had to turn on the heating ourselves, which was difficult and took some time. Even then, we didn’t have hot water for two days until someone from the staff came and turned everything on. The apartment also only started to warm up after two days.
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kate (9/5): Residential feel, local experience, space to chill out, access to everything! - This spacious apartment was the perfect base for a family of four and couple to explore London from. With great bus and train access, we enjoyed days out, afternoons in and evenings at nearby pubs/restaurants. Minutes walk to Hyde park/bus stops/grocery stores and the Pizzeria that lady Di frequented. Plenty of space to have down time from hustle and bustle of travelling. Fernando was highly responsive to any of our queries. Our stay was comfortable, clean and was a great reset with laundry/kitchen facilities. Accommodated our family of four in one room, which many hotels in London are unable to offer. Not a problem for us but be aware access is by steep stairs and the apartment is below street height however lots of windows allow plenty of natural light.
• Colin (10/5): Spacious clean property great location and host - Spacious clean and comfortable property. We really loved the location. Fernando was a super helpful host and easy to contact if needed. We can’t wait to book this again
• Greg (9/5): Superb - Location was amazing, really central and very pretty surroundings! Host also allowed us an early checkin which was VERY much appreciated after a long flight. We had some issues getting the key, but the host was super responsive and couriered them over immediately. There were some issues with the hot water geyser, but again, they explained how to manage this and it was workable.
• Tsaiching (9/5): awesome. - The stay was comfortable in the early spring, location was really convenient and the apt was well-equipped/acquainted. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely love to make this our homebase when we come to London next! When we arrived, the fireplace had its coals/ashes on the carpet, not sure why. The appliances are. top notched but older, I was a bit worried that we would be the ones to damage it. Everything else was really quite good.
