Guest Reviews
- SANDRA (8/5): agréable séjour - l emplacement avec la vue sur le canal
le café les serviettes et le linge de lit
le bus 18 à proximité manque prise pour les européens
le canapé lit du salon est pas très confortable

- jeremy (7/5): - It stink of deodoriser when we first arrived. So strong we had to air it out. Otherwise, lovely.
- Abian (8/5): Confortable - Me gustó el parking privado y la seguridad, además de que estaba muy limpio Lo único que no me gustó es q faltaron toallas
- Andrew (10/5): Fantastic flat, really clean and easy to access. Highly recommended - Very spacious, great location overlooking the canal
- Attila (10/5): Egyedi kilátás, apartman minden előnyével (saját konyha, fürdő) - Buszmegálló, kocsmák, bevásárlóház a közelben. Biztonságos környék.
- holly (9/5): Beautiful location , excellent services - Excellent location, very secure and loved watching the wildlife outside near the canal Everything was excellent
- Yvette (8/5): Great value and really pleasing. - Brilliant location for what we wanted. Comfy bed and nice bathroom. So reassuring to have the car parked outside and felt very safe. Loved having the canal to watch. A few things - like a telly in the lounge and clean windows would have been good but would happily return. Apartment door quite sticky and difficult to open and shut. A few broken things but didn’t bother us. Need more mugs.
- Pascal (10/5): -
- Annette (8/5): Great central location. Spacious and clean. Highly recommend - Very central location. Easy bus route to attractions. Close to supermarket. Very spacious apartment. Amazing scenery. Personally for me, would have liked a guest/visitor book with information/instructions. More kitchen cleaning cloths/drying towels, washing liquid. There was a dish washer but no tablets, coffee machine but no pods. Tv in the bedroom, would have preferred it in the lounge. Apartment needs a bit of maintenance.
- Bruno (8/5): Séjour à Noel à Londres - Le cadre et notamment les berges du canal
Le calme
L'emplacement près de Nothinghill
L'appartement clair et grand
L'accès direct depuis les bus Pas mal de commerces fermés autour (restaurant / café) alors qu'ils sont indiqués ouverts.
Peu de restaurants ni pub de qualité autour (essentiellement de la fast food)
Le propriétaire n'a pas été très arrangeant pour adapter nos horaires de départ
Station de métro assez loin
Le sommier du canapé lit très dur
- Dominic (6/5): - Dedicated parking space for the apartment which is perfect for central London Could be a little tidier. If outside space is part of the selling point then garden space should be sorted out.
- Joanna (9/5): polecam - ciepłe, klimatyczne miejsce, dużo miejsca. idealne dla rodziny. fajny widok z okna. mozliwosc chilllowania na dworze. pieszo dojdziesz do Notting Hill. ogólnie polecam! niektóre sprzęty wymagają wymiany . drzwi ciężko otwierają się. brudnawa klatka jak na niby wysoki standard budynku.
trochę drogo dla nas, prawie 900 zł za noc!
- Culzean (9/5): Loved our stay! - - Great location close proximity to London attractions
- Beautiful spacious apartment
- Comfy bed / sofa
- Nice views of the canal
- Easy access, bottom floor
- Friendly staff / porters
- Parking provided - Instructions on how to enter/park could have been a little more informative
- Entrance to the gate requires you to pull car in front of oncoming traffic and wait for the gate to be opened by the porter
- The apartment was clean, there was a section of the kitchen counter that was sticky though
- Toaster levers are broken but you can still use the toaster
- Zsuzsa (4/5): Lelakott, felújításra szorul. - Az elhelyezkedés. 4 napból 2-őn nem volt fűtés, vagy problémás volt. 4 napból 2-őn nem volt melegvíz, nem tudtunk zuhanyozni. 2 estén fogadnunk kellett a szerelőket, amikor már pihentünk volna. A fotókhoz képest lelakott, elavult és elhasználódott. Erős felújításra szorul.
- Tayyip (1/5): First night of the stay, I try to handle the heating issue with the Handyman for one and a half hour with videocall. It’ - It was awful. I didn’t like anything at all. The heating system wasn’t working and they couldn’t fix the issue. The cleanness was awful heating system wasn’t working the stuff tried to overcharge me, and they are lying about their procedures. Because of the problems manager offered me a compensation and they didn’t pay the compensation. I tried to call him maybe more than 10 times. Text him for one month at the end they still lying about the compensation. For people who ever try to or think about to stay there I certainly say that do not ever stay there. The company is all about robbery.
- Bas (7/5): - Ligging is goed Harde slaapbank
- Nina (8/5): Fijn apartement met leuk zicht op het water - Ruim appartement met alles dat je nodig hebt. De kleine achtertuin aan het water is leuk. Er zaten eenden en we hebben in de ochtend zelf een vos zien lopen. Ook leuk om naar de boten te kijken die voorbij komen. Ideaal dat er een parkeerplaats was. De slaapbank is prima, het standaard bed is redelijk.
Het is ca 15 minuten lopen naar de metro dus daar moet je rekening mee houden.
- Nicky (7/5): -
- Arina (9/5): Great stay to connect with Wembley - great space and location! bus stop jus tin front of the door, metro some 20min walk. very nice and cosy neighborhood. comfortable double bed. very easy to communicate with the host - almost instant reply. the only downside for us, was that the moment we would open a door - there would be a Siam? cat coming - it would also try to come in inside but also wouldn't be happy if we tried to go outside (yes we are not cat people, and just not sure what to expect form them). probably good for other people, but we werent aware that there is a possibility to encounter a cat inside the property (since the yard also part of it).
- Noémie (9/5): Une pépite lumineuse et bien placée pour un séjour londonien! - Spacieux, propre, terrasse La qualité de la literie pourrait être amélioré
- Yolanda (10/5): Repetiremos alojamiento - El apartamento es muy cómodo, tiene parking dentro de la propiedad, un pequeño jardín con vistas al canal, la cama y el sofá cama estupendos, un supermercado al lado y la parada de bus para ir a la zona 1 y 2 enfrente de la propiedad. Si volvemos a Londres repetiremos sin ninguna duda.
- Thelma (10/5): Excellent location and price. Home from home feel - Excellent location!!
Excellent price!!
Clean and well maintained.
Felt safe with security staff on shift.
Wallace was great. Could have done with a tv in living room.
Perhaps tidy up the area outside the patio doors
- beate (10/5): - Wunderschöne Wohnung mit Garten und gesichertem Parkplatz, und allen Ausstattungen, die man braucht, bequeme Betten, Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Tür, sehr freundlicher Portier Nichts
- Salahuddin (8/5): -
- Michael (7/5): Nette Unterkunft, könnte etwas mehr Fürsorge vertragen - Tolle Lage, sehr sauber, Parkplatz vor dem Haus, Ausblick auf den Kanal ist toll! Es fehlte an Besteck für vier Personen, ein großes Fenster im Wohnzimmer ließ sich nicht öffnen, Abfluss im Waschbecken sehr verstopft
- Stephanie (9/5): Lovely little apartment - We liked the location and it being canalside. It was lovely to sit outside. The bed was comfortable and everything we needed was provided such as tea towels, toilet roll, shower gel and shampoo. The boiler was showing low pressure so we couldn't have a shower as there was no hot water but this was rectified on the same day. We found it a little strange that there was only a TV in the bedroom and not in the communal area. The kids top and tailed on the sofa bed but we would have likes maybe a single pull out bed or z bed so they could sleep separately. Also, we couldn't turn the radiator off in the bathroom and it was 31°C. But this is us just being picky! It was a lovely little apartment.
- Maggiejinky (6/5): Canalside view with secure parking - The apartment is spacious with a nice view over the canal. There are bus stops nearby. The two underground stations are around 15 minutes away. Outside of busy times it was relatively straightforward to reach places of interest by bus. However later in the day it could take more than an hour to travel back from the centre. We travelled to London by car and appreciated the 24 hour secure parking. The apartment is in need of an update. It is a little shabby. The wall lights in the sitting area don't come on. Similarly in the bathroom only one light was working but not the overhead lights. The worktops in the kitchen and bathroom (both are wooden) are very sticky. We did try cleaning them but they remained sticky.
- Glyn (8/5): Nice flat in a good location with secure parking - nice location and secure parking
- Manuela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Azlia (8/5): Very good - Location, parking lot and gated security are amazing, the landlord is friendly and reply to the message promptly.
- Iuliia (9/5): A flat with an amazing terrace - We loved the terrace and the location! It was a lovely stay with a lot of space. There were no capsules for a dishwasher and some items in the kitchen were not very clean.
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (9/5): Super secure apartment, great location, great price! - Loved the secure parking and the calm of being able to open the doors and feed the ducks. Ten minute walk to Kensal Green Underground station. We would definitely stay again. Blocked/ slow wash basin.
- Abigail (7/5): Good -
- Aram (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oliver (10/5): Excellent, would stay longer - Beautiful, sunny bohemian location
Well equipped, very comfortable, good wifi, great and helpful staff.
Slight critique.... tv would be better if was in the lounge, but not a major issue
- Clara (7/5): Lovely view, some issues need addressing - Lovely view of the canal. Airy, beautiful space. One of the doors was broken, the wine glasses were all plastic and 1 was warped, missing door in the kitchen. It wasn’t as luxurious as it should have been for £500 for 3 nights I don’t think.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Danielle (7/5): Good - Loved the flat , nice and spacious .
Lovely being by the river and being able to see many wild birds.
Home was lovely and warm when we arrived .
Loved the high ceilings. There was a plumbing issue that was flagged as an emergency in the morning. ( blocked sinks and leaking water all over the floor)
I saw that they read the message but , no one messaged until 6pm in the evening..
Luckily it stopped before we went out or it would have ruined the whole day.
We tried calling multiple times but no one picked up!
This was disappointing 😞
A plumber came at 9.15 pm at night to fix the issue once we were back home.
It's a shame about this aspect as apart from lack of support it was a nice stay.
Communication was poor in this instance.
But the flat lovely on the whole .
- Tracy (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment with everything we needed for our stay.
Loved the Canalside location.
The security guard was pleasant and helpful.
There was a mix-up with rooms on arrival, but we were happy to stay in the room available and communicate with host to check if everything was ok. Very minor, no coat hangers in wardrobe.
- Darren (9/5): Very good stay would highly recommend - Lovely spacious apartment and great private parking
- Michael (10/5): Great Apartment and good location - Great location and a fantastic apartment with a great view from the balcony, great with 24 hour security All fabulous
- Khan (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (8/5): Very nice place would stay again especially if you have a car - The parking spot was amazing and a secured lot Was a little out of the way for downtown London but manageable
- Eunan (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment was very well located, very comfortable, it was very quiet and there was a sitting out area overlooking the canal. It was an oasis in the middle of Kensington.
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cathy (8/5): Would happily stay here again - hard to find something this pleasant in London for the price - Apartment was exactly as in the photos - opening onto a grassy patch right on the canal, nice modern furnishings, good sized rooms and everything we needed in terms of kitchen equipment. The parking space was a real bonus, and I also used the Bakerloo line which was 10-15 mins walk away. Massive Sainsburys 5 mins walk. No real complaints
- Phatsawanphorn (9/5): Superb -
- Georgios (5/5): Passable - Spacious flat with free parking space. The head of security, Mr Murat was very polite and helpful and I would like to thank him. Lots of amenities. The flat was damp and it was quite cold for this time of the year. Not very clean. The internal doors need repair. They couldn't stay open. There was much noise from the kindergarden which is located adjacent to the flat from 9am onwards.The worst thing though, was the irresponsible behaviour of the host, Mrs Olga. I booked the room for 8 days. When we arrived we decided we needed the flat for one more day. So I send a message to landlady asking if we could stay. She replied that we could, and that she would block the flat for one more day. After that she curiously disappeared for days and never responded to any calls or messages. I couldn't find her to proceed with the payment of the extra day. Fortunately the security manager of the building offered to help me communicate with her. She finally called back to tell me that I couldn't stay. As I thought that everything was ok, this behaviour made me looking for a place to stay, in a such short notice. I wonder what would have happened if there was something more urgent and serious. A proper host needs to respond immediately. Very irresponsible behaviour indeed. After all that she asked me to have the linen washed in the washing machine before living....
- Dorota (9/5): Greatly connected location, charming apartment with the view on the green little garden and canal - Location of the flat is really well connected to the center. Nearby there is a huge Sainsbury - just a walking distance for any grocery shopping needed. Very comfortable was availability of the basic kitchen supply - tea, coffee, kakao, spices, as well as all cleaning chemistry and accessories! In the bathroom - shampoo, gel, toilet paper supplied - perfect not to think about those stuff and wasting time during your holiday. The garden is great but it was a little bit of a surprise that it is publicly available for other neighbours what results in people walking right behind your bedroom window or sitting at your tarrace door eating breakfast - good to have the curtains closed to not be surprised. Or at least the information about that could be clearly stated in the apartment description, to not be surprised :)
- Nesterenko (8/5): Very good -
- Ahmed (1/5): Bad -
- Ibrahim (10/5): Superb! - The property was excellent, clean, and spacious. I liked pretty much everything. I just wished there is an underground nearby.
- Fox (10/5): I will definitely be staying here again, it’s great value for money, great location, love it! - Easy access to london, great apartment, safe and secure with 24hr security, simply fantastic! Nothing at all!
