Guest Reviews
- Brenda (8/5): - Everything was perfectly excellent except for one thing. There was a man, presumably a maintenence guy or caretaker or something who was right outside my door talking and swearing twice, both times loudly. Every third word in his sentences was the F word. The first time was about screws and a screwdriver and the second time was something else similar. This definitely is the kind of thing that I go on vacation to get away from and I could feel my pulse and blood pressure rise as I sat there and listened to it. Other than that, this place was one of the best places I have ever stayed on a vacation and I would definitely recommend it.
- Nicole (9/5): Super Apartment mit tollem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. - - Gute Lage in einer schönen ruhigen Straße
- Großes, schön eingerichtetes Apartment
- Schokolade und Wasser als Gastgeschenk
- Nette Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber - könnte etwas sauberer sein (Fensterrahmen recht staubig, Bettwäsche hatte Flecken, dreckiger Spülschwamm)
- abgelaufenes Toastbrot lag noch im Schrank
- etwas schlecht zu lüften
- Diego (10/5): - Cómodo y lindo Hay que andar un poco para llegar a los metros cercanos
- Sofia (8/5): -
- Yuka (6/5): - 広い部屋 シャワー部屋は狭く、トイレと何の仕切りもないため、トイレが水浸しになるほどでした、トイレットペーパーの備え付けもありませんでした。
加えて、ベッドの上にある時計の音が気になり、睡眠の妨げになりました。
また、個人営業なのでしょうがないかもしれませんが、掃除が十分に行き届いていないと感じました。値段を考慮すると、残念だなと思いました。

- Chiara (7/5): soggiorno piacevole - caldaia funzionante, quindi si stava bene. il letto era comodo e grande e l'ambiente spazioso la doccia e i sanitari non avevano un divisorio, quindi ogni volta che veniva fatta si bagnava tutto il bagno...ma lo sapevamo già quindi va bene così
- Viktoria (10/5): -
- Martin (8/5): A reasonably equipped room at the price, but the hot water situation was annoying - A large, well-appointed, clean and comfortable single-room apartment with a good room heater and opening sash windows for ventilation. The room had sufficient power-points, and these were well-sited. There was a large table for dining/working with comfortable chairs and a comfortable sofa in the living area of the room. The kitchen was well equipped with a sink, four induction hobs, microwave, toaster, fridge, washing machine for clothes and a coffee maker, (a range of pods were supplied for this). The low-level bed was extremely comforatble. The bathroom was equipped with a shower, toilet and hand basin. The property is located on a quiet residential street about 0.5 miles from the nearest tube station (Shepherd's Bush, Central Line). The batroom was quite small and a little odd. There was no shower enclosure or bath, but was a "wet room". Entry to the bathroom was over a low water-bar which was effective in stopping the water leaking from the bathroom into the rest of the apartment, but meant that when using the toilet after the shower had been used the floor was very wet. I could not get the shower of the tap on the hand basin to supply hot water, even after running them for a considerable time and with the tap controller in just about every conceivable position, (there was hot water supplied to the apartment as the tap in the sink in the kitchen area supplied hot water quite quickly).

- Hrubešová (9/5): Lovely neighbourhood - It was a great place to stay. Good value for money in nice neighbourhood. I appreciate that there was salt, pepper, oil etc to use. It makes the stay much easier. Also it was warm there as you can regulate the temperature. Amazing! Very helpful host! Shower was quit a pain point. It doesnt have enough pressure and it is hard to find the right temperature. Also it is above the toilet but that is visible from pictures so we counted with it
- Irina (9/5): - Удобная кровать, вид из окна Неудобная маленькая ванная
- Renatas (10/5): -
- Maddy (8/5): Overall v.good - Very clean Clean & spacious
- Minna (6/5): Suitable for a short stay - The apartment was a good size for two. The landlord was very accessible.
The street was quiet in the evenings. The apartment is a short walk (less than 10 minutes) to Westfield shopping center, which also has a grocery store. The yard and stairwell were untidy. The apartment next door was undergoing renovations, which caused noise. The apartment door lock was very insecure. The bathroom didn't work at all. The toilet was open from above the door, so all sounds could be heard in the living space.
Poor channel availability on the apartment's TV.
The pots and pans were dirty, we didn't use them. The kitchen is best suited for preparing breakfast.
We chose the location on purpose but if you want to enjoy the sights of the city centre then this apartment is far away and requires several buses or buses and metro. We have rented apartments in London dozens of times so we knew how to prepare for this.
Just to let you know, the bed in the apartment is really hard.
- Otten (8/5): Perfect verblijf in mooie buurt. Dichtstbijzijnde metro is 15-20 min lopen maar bus om de hoek. - Mooie kamer, ruim en schoon. Prettig om in te verblijven. Andere mensen in het huis waren een beetje luidruchtig af en toe.
- Robert (9/5): Comfortable well kept flat. Owner was very accomodating - Clean and tidy.
Complimentary chocolates which was very nice.
- Therese (10/5): Veldig fin plass. Vi brukte central line hver dag og til og med gikk fra leilighet til Oxford street - Veldig fin leilighet med alt du trenger. Der var kaffe, te, vann og kjeks som velkomst. Alle toalettartikler. Lite bad men fungerte godt.
- Cheryl Ferrin (10/5): Perfect - Quiet and clean and well furnished
- Anastasiya (8/5): -
- Wendy (8/5): -
- Maria (9/5): -
- Wei Sim (9/5): Comfortable and cosy - just what I needed in London. - Lovely, spacious, cosy. I lost my keys and my host was just wonderful - very understanding and responded with help even though it was getting late. Wd highly recommend! Nothing
- Brad (7/5): Pleasant. - The property was very well located. It has a washing machine. A little poetic license has been taken with marketing of the apartment. In reality it’s a bit tired, but serviceable.
- Massimo Giuele (10/5): -
- Slade (8/5): - Comfortable flat, with everything we needed. Not too far from public transport and restaurants. Several flights of stairs, no lift. Probably wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't break my arm which it made it hard to get our luggage up to the flat.
- Giorgio (8/5): -
- Georgia (9/5): We loved it and its location and we would stay again. - I loved the location and the kitchen. It was very comfortable and served our needs beautifully. Nancy was extremely accommodating.
- Christopher (1/5): Dirty and disappointing - Nothing, can’t find. Positive thing to say about it! Disgraceful! Dirty, far from everything, booked 4 nights, changed to 5, got to the 4th day, owner says she has double booked and basically threw us out. Bathroom was always and dirty, stuff in cupboards was a mismatch of stuff they must have sought from an op shop. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable, neighbours were noisy, just an unpleasant stay!
- Ansia (9/5): A comfortable and convenient stay with everything we needed! - Stylish Studio Escape is in a great location and offers plenty of space, making it perfect for a comfortable stay. It had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!
- Peter (8/5): Pleasant stay in a leafy street close to transport & shops. -
- Sarah (9/5): A great stay in London! - The apartment was very clean and well supplied with coffee and toiletries. The pictures are exactly what you expect. The neighbours in the building were friendly. Our host, Nancy was so friendly and accommodating to our needs. The location is great, especially if you plan on using public transport. Close to two tube stops that connect you to all of London. Also walking distance to Holland Park. A beautiful area.
- Andrew (9/5): Comfortable studio in a central location - A very convenient location, close to bus stops and Olympia tube station and a reasonably short walk to both White City and Kensington High St. It had everything one could need for a short stay - well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, large tv screen, washing machine. Although I could hear neighbours moving about during the day, at night it was very quiet. It was spotless, and Nancy was a great host, communicating promptly and very kindly leaving some bottled water and a box of chocolates as a welcome gift - thank you! I would recommend this studio. No complaints, although a hook in the bathroom for a towel would be a nice addition!
For anyone with heavy suitcases the staircase might be a challenge, although this was not an issue for me.
- Belinda (9/5): Was a great stay and the property is as per the photos. There are four lots of stairs of about 10 steps each. - The studio is a great place to stay with everything you need including washing machine, plug converters, hair dryer, Netflix and so. 8min walk to Shepherds Bush tube station, supermarket, sports bar and restaurants. Was clean and spacious for a one bedroom with room for suitcases etc. Only one thing the shower could have had a bit more pressure when on hot.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Debbie (10/5): Beautiful little studio , location fantastic - Had everything you needed for the couple of nights we was there Everything was lovely couldn’t fault it
- Jade (10/5): Perfect little studio - Perfect little apartment for our needs and was very well equipped, had everything you might need whilst away. Host was very informative and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
- Beatrice (10/5): Exceptional - I had a fantastic stay at this studio. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a great visit. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore the city. Communication with Nancy was excellent.
- Kasia (8/5): Very good - Nice, clean studio. Everything from washing machine, hairdryer, fridge, cooker, iron is included. The only downside is the bathroom. It's a shower room with toilet inside separated only with glass doors to main room. Only good if you are travelling with someone that you know well.
- Maria (8/5): Would recommend - I would recommend staying here, the host was lovely and explained everything well the day of, and not invasive or pressing on arrival times etc. the room itself was as seen in all the photos, the bed was comfortable and the amenities that came with the property were just as needed, the property is also between 5-10 minute walk to Shepherd’s Bush underground station and Westfield White City the road the house was on itself was quite with residential parking from 08:30-22:00 - Monday-Friday and other hours for Saturday, the television was set up and easy to use.
- Carmen (8/5): Victorian house 15 / 20 min walk from train station in Kensington. Need better window during winter. - Spacious, clean, 15-20 mins walk from train station. 2 min from bus station Window not firmly closed/ fixed, cold wind still come it, also need carry luggage up 2 levels.
- Francis (8/5): Overall I enjoyed my stay here. - The property is in close proximity to Westfield London - just about a 10 minute walk. The staff (Nancy) was very pleasant and patient with providing guidance with everything I needed. The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos - very tidy and comfy. They offered clean towels, sheets and coffee including a decaf option which I found very thoughtful since I am sensitive to caffeine. The property met my expectations and was a great experience overall. My only suggestion would be that they provide a few ‘how-to’ guides for certain items to make things even more user-friendly.
- Artur (10/5): Great - Great Location, and Nice apartment.
