About this property
Next To Kensington Gardens Fabulous Studio With Own Entrance In Private House
This studio flat would suit a single or couple. It has its own independent entrance (which no one else uses) from the street to the studio, but is part of a large private house which is a historic grade two listed building. It is an excellent bolt hold for anyone coming to visit London as it is central and close to transport, shops and restaurants and a two minute walk to Kensington Gardens.
We are reopening for visitors from 12 April 2021, and the flat has had some renovations made to it to give our guests a safe and clean environment. This flat is easy to access as it has its own entrance that only the guest would use. Always after each guest has left we thoroughly clean the flat as well as steam cleaning the floors, washing and steam ironing sheets. The flat is always spotless and clean and we will endeavour to do so especially during these times in order to give our guests confidence when booking. This flat would also suit anyone needing to self isolate on arrival in the UK as you are totally self contained with your own front door entrance to the flat.
It is quiet and brilliantly located for the park, shopping and sightseeing, with lots of supermarkets and convenience stores. The flat is maintained to a very high standard and has been newly refurbished and decorated. It has a large double bed (king size) with new mattress anti allergy pillows. New 100% cotton sheets. There is a clothes washer and dryer. Separate kitchen (separate room) with microwave, cooker, coffee maker (nespresso) etc. The Studio room has lots of cupboard space, a TV, WIFI and a small sofa. There is a small shower off the bedroom and between the bedroom and kitchen there is a small table for eating. This is a really sweet studio and it isn't that small. It is warm with underfloor heating. There are all mod cons and up to date guide books for your use.
I am sure you will be very happy at the flat. Its really comfortable and safe and we are always here to provide any help or assistance you might need.

We were thoroughly pleased with everything the unit had to offer. The host could not have been more kind or responsive. The location was right on, close to all forms of public transportation. The description was exactly what we thought when we walked in couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly encourage anyone that is considering staying here do so before someone else takes the listing from you. You won’t regret your decision!
Nice little bolthole for London. 15 minute walk from Paddington station. We found it just a little too small for comfort for a return visit, but otherwise all good.
Great base for exploring London. The unit was clean, well-equiped, comfortable in a good neighbourhood. An enjoyable stay. Just be aware that the unit is below street level (although well lit) and there is a steep staircase making it awkward to carry large luggage up and down. But overall 10/10.
It was a perfect amount of room and an easy location near Paddington so not needing to lug luggage multiple tube stops for the airport. Ann and as so pleasant and accommodating ensuring we had a little something for breakfast and some wine for the evening. Such a nice extra touch.
We stayed in this lovely flat for a four day trip to London. The location was perfect and within walking distance to the tube, grocery stores, restaurants, Hyde park, etc. The flat was very clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything we needed and more. Ann was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return.
Don’t miss out on this convenient and cute property. We loved the neighborhood. It’s very walkable with lots of food a couple blocks away and multiple tube stops close by. The property itself is well appointed with everything you could need. The host is a doll and we enjoyed our conversations with her. We would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous, Ann and Ivo were great to talk to with good recomendations in the local area for food and Pubs. Many grocery stores in less than a five minute walk. The flat was clean with a well stocked kitchen with starter groceries. We will be booking this flat on our next London Trip when we can stay longer. A great base of operations. We highly recommend this listing.

Clean, fresh flat in a convenient location
My husband and I just returned from 6 days in London. We really enjoyed operating out of this flat. It was very functional, with a comfortable bed, a great shower and a very nice little kitchen, with everything needed. I really enjoyed my pre-trip communication with the owner and appreciated her kindness when our flight was delayed 12 hours. There are maps of the area and of the tubes on the wall and a laminated sheet of suggested pubs and other tips. We found this location to be great for catching buses, tubes, etc. My husband and I are very self-sufficient and found this flat worked perfectly for us. My only interaction with the owners was about 2 minutes of paying the rent. If you tend to need a lot of assistance, this flat may not be for you, as the owners are a very busy family. I would be happy to stay here if I ever return to London.

Many thanks for your nice review. Just so everyone knows that as we live upstairs and always let our guests know that if they need any advice or help to come and knock on our door - we are always here to for them.
Ann stayed in touch and provided helpful information prior to our arrival. The flat was easy to find and Ann provided milk, bread, tea and coffee. This was much appreciated.
Some suggestions to make guests more comfortable. Number one issue is the bathroom. The sink is tiny. Water goes everywhere when washing your hands, face and brushing your teeth. It is not a functional sink. Nowhere to put toiletries and nowhere to hang a second towel.
Lack of lighting to read by. Lamps on either side of the bed that provide good lighting would be wonderful. “O” ring in kitchen faucet needs replacing. Overall and with these improvements it can be a first class place to stay.

Thank you. I appreciate your comments, however at any time during your stay you could have come to us and we would have tried to rectify any issues you had. I certainly will look at the kitchen tap immediately and will look to replace the lamps that are beside the bed already. There is a cupboard behind the mirror in the bathroom as well as a shelf to put your things. There is also a heated towel rail and hook in the bathroom. We take great pride in our home and try very hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This flat is done to a high standard and given the position and price represents great value. We are a family not a five star hotel chain offering a lovely comfortable flat which would be bigger and better than most hotel rooms. We try our hardest and are always here on call to help our guests with any issues. We will certainly endeavour to continue to provide a five start service to our guests.
Many thanks

An absolute gem
This is a wonderfully central flat and we spent three happy nights there.
It is perfectly located, near to all central attractions and just a stroll away from the parks .The flat was beautifully decorated and was much bigger than we expected.
We were warmly welcomed by Ann and she very kindly bought bread and milk for our arrival. This was one of the many thoughtful and personal touches that we found throughout our stay.
There was a lovely selection of toiletries in the spotlessly clean bathroom and the flat was very well equipped with all that we needed including , an ironing board, a hairdryer, brollies and lots of useful information and maps.
As we had lived in London we didn't need any advice but felt that Ann was not only friendly but very approachable and would be ready to help and answer any queries or requests.
Wifi was quick and easy to use,the bed was comfy and for central London it was a surprisingly quiet neighbourhood.
When you consider how much a very average, and often not so nice, Hotel would cost in the area, the apartment represented excellent value and it was so much nicer than an anonymous Hotel room.
Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.
Everything that was listed in this property was delivered. It was just right for my husband and me during our stay in London. Ann was prompt in answering any questions we had, and the rental was clean and comfortable.
Five Star rating across the board! We were very pleased with the accommodation and our visit to London. The flat is exactly as described and perfect for what we were looking for. It’s quaint, tiny shower and washroom, but there’s enough room to maneuver around everywhere else. The bed was comfy and at the end of a long day of sightseeing, perfect. Awesome location, steps away from Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, Notting Hill. An easy walk from the Bayswater Circle line. Special thanks to Ann for the ‘extra’s’ - Milk, butter and bread in the refrigerator. Nice bottle of wine! Would definitely stay here again.
The Bayswater studio met our needs in every way - clean, cozy, well appointed, and superbly located. Queensway and Bayswater tube stops and Paddington rail station are all an easy walk away. Plenty of pubs, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. The neighborhood itself is quiet and safe. We have found our new choice for lodging when in London. Thanks, Ann, for a great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The property was very comfortable, and they provided everything we needed for our stay. You really can’t beat the location. You are about a 10 minutes walk away from 4 different underground stations. Very convenient! We also felt very safe in this location as well. The owners were not in town while we were there, but Ann was great about communicating before and during our stay. All of her instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Thank you much!
Very well located, easy access to Paddington Station and tubes, Waitrose market close by. Ann is a wonderful host and very responsive to communications! The flat has everything you need for a nice London visit - kitchen is fully stocked to use with coffee/tea/spices/condiments provided; bed is great (if you like soft, which we do); sheets/towels were changed out after a week by the cleaning lady; good bathroom with sizeable shower; lots of storage space; very helpful maps of London and the tube system on the wall to peruse as you eat breakfast...The stairway down to the flat is spiral and narrow, but with a good handrail. Street noise at night is not that bad - we slept with the window open. We felt very safe, secure, and had no issues during our stay. We certainly will be back.
Loved staying here, great location for walking through Hyde Park and tube stations to other places. Ann is an attentive host and took good care of us. Only thing that would have made it better is a full length mirror.
This flat worked extremely well for us. Ann and Ivo were very available if we needed anything. We stayed 5 days and toured London and nearby. Lots of options for the tube and train connections. Loved having the washer/dryer as this fell in yhe middle of a 3 week trip This is a basement flat which was fine for us, but might be a challenge for someone with mobility issues.
We really enjoyed our stay !! We walked almost everywhere. Close to Kensington Palace .Royal Albert Hall . In a
quaint neighborhood with Pubs and restaurants, small stores for
a bottle of wine, cheese….It was
great .
This home is owned by an English family who live in the building but have a separate entrance. We have two grown up children. We have restored the building to a high standard and are one of the few remaining original houses in the area.
Why they chose this property
This is a really beautiful house of grand proportions and lovingly restored. It is in a grade two listed building. It is the last remaining house in the street which hasn't been converted into flats or hotels. The area is just wonderful and we really love living here. It is both quiet and vibrant and centrally located plus perfect for the park. Due to new restrictions in London for limited amounts of days allowed to rent per year please contact us anyway, If dates are not showing available.
What makes this property unique
It is quiet and self contained and excellently located for transport, park and sightseeing. Close to supermarkets and restaurants. The flat is spotlessly clean and new with modern amenities, such as clothes washer, cooker and underfloor heating. We do take great pride in accommodating our guests and try and give a great experience towards your stay in London.
