Bright, cheerful, comfortable 2-bedroom Kensington Flat

Please note that our cancellation policy is NOT correctly indicated on this website. We refund all monies paid, on a per night basis, for the cancelled nights that we re-rent. We also have refunded 100% of money received for corona virus cancellations and will continue to do so.

We live in Florida, this is our London home. We visit it at least once per year. We have come to know this area very well and truly enjoy its many attractions as well as the excellent access to the West End and the major tourist sites.

The flat is bright, cheerful, and spacious. All rooms have large windows. The kitchen and the two bedrooms have a Western exposure. The living room, bathroom and toilet (which are separate rooms) have an Eastern exposure. The large master bedroom has a very comfortable USA king-size bed and ample wardrobe and drawer space. The second bedroom has two large single beds and ample wardrobe space. For the 'fifth' person we use an air mattress in the living room. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living room. We do not have (and very rarely need) air conditioning.

The living room has comfortable seating for four people as well as a large 37' flat screen TV (with Freeview), radio, CD/tape player, and a DVD player. Free broadband internet connection (wireless or cable) is available. A printer may be connected to your laptop. The kitchen is large enough that four people can eat around the table and not impede someone preparing food. It is fully-equipped to service six people.

The flat is located on the second floor (third floor by USA definition) of a picturesque Mansion block built in 1896. It does not have a lift. Access to the stair well to the flat is by a key or by remotely unlocking the door after verifying the caller’s identity via TV cameras. The mansion block is located at the end of a cul-de-sac and road noise is almost non-existent.

West Kensington Underground station is a seven minute walk from the building. It is on the District line and is three stops from the Knightsbridge shopping district and seven stops from Westminster Abbey/Houses of Parliament.

A five minute walk to Hammersmith High Street will give you access to multiple bus routes taking you up Kensington High Street, through Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner into the West End of London.

There are half a dozen restaurants and the same number of 'take outs' that can be reached in under ten minutes. The large, superb Tesco Supermarket is a ten minute walk. There are green-grocers and smaller supermarket shops on the way to the Underground station, which are closer to the flat. There is a dry cleaner, video rental store, liquor store, news-agent, and 3 eating places all within five minutes of the flat.

For tennis fans, the Queen’s Club tennis facility is a 15 minute walk and Earl’s Court Underground station (a 12 minute walk) offers a direct (six stops) connection to Wimbledon. The flat is a 5 minute walk to the Olympia exhibition halls. Holland Park - peaceful and relaxing - is a 15 minute walk.

Please note that our pricing is in British Pounds. This listing may reflect prices in your 'local' currency. These numbers are approximate and will change as the exchange rate changes.

Home away from home!
Such a lovely time at David’s flat. It really was like a second home in a great neighborhood, close to all we wanted to see and do. My two teens wanted to be “Londoners” for the 3 weeks we were in the UK, and this flat and the surrounding neighborhood gave us the experience we were looking for. The flat is spotless and a quintessential English apartment. The property manager, Sara, is a sweetheart and communication with the owner, David, is spot on before, during, and even after your stay, if needed. He gives very detailed instructions about check in and all things you may need or want during your stay. The flat and building are quiet, and the neighbors are quite friendly. The building is super safe with gated access. I think there was a review that referenced the stairs to get to the flat, honestly, if you can climb you’ll be fine. Each floor has a beautiful window bench where you can catch your breath if needed. My elderly parents visited us during our stay, and they had no issues getting up and down the stairs taking advantage of the window seats. We especially loved the two neighborhood cats, Luca and Valentine, who greeted us every morning on our way to the local bakery and the underground station. 🐈‍⬛ We look forward to returning some time soon.

Great Location
Perfect flat for London. A few minutes walk from the nearest tube station and close to restaurants and markets. Very comfortable. Yes, it is on the third floor, but the stairs are not bad.

Good & safe location to London Activities
Family of 5 slept well and had the needed items for cooking, bathing and sleeping in comfortable, suburb flat outside London. Tube was 10 min walk; grocery store was 5 min walk, and some restaurants nearby. Management was friendly and informative. Would stay again.
