This quiet light bright two double bedroom property is located on the lower ground floor of a Victorian conversion. The apartment consists of a comfortable spacious living room with feature skylights, MODERISED kitchen with integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, clothes-dryer, microwave, fridge oven & ceramic hob, toaster, kettle, cutlery, central heating etc.
There is also a TV and DVD player with miscellaneous CDs and DVDS as well as its own book collection, so you can curl up with a novel on cosy sofas after a day’s sight-seeing.
*The rental price is inclusive of all electricity and heating charges, council tax, towels, sheets and linen and also staples in the kitchen (tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper)* Indeed this inclusive rate is unusual for a London apartment as most charge extra for taxes etc. There are two compact double bedrooms with comfortable double beds. The wet room is new and it's fantastic! The second bedroom is the bedroom I was using when the photographer came (hence slightly creased bedclothes!!) It also has a TV in this bedroom. This room has a door leading to outside space. The outside space is small, but very useful for laundry purposes.
Bookings may begin on the afternoon of the departure date of a previous guest. However, if you have bags, you are welcome to drop them off earlier while the flat is being cleaned.
Access from Heathrow Airport couldn't be easier; take the tube directly to Gloucester Road on the Piccadilly Line, with no changes required. Takes about forty minutes. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express leaves every fifteen minutes to Victoria station which is fifteen minutes away by cab to the flat or 3 straight tube stops to Gloucester Rd tube.
Or we have a driver who will pick you up from Heathrow. His charges are:- £48 pick up from any terminal. £38 to drop off.
Location can not be beaten (check my reviews) with just a few minutes walking distance to Natural History Museum, V&A or catch a concert at the Albert Hall home to the Proms, the world’s great classical music festival.
Most important is the closeness to the tube with West-end theaters 15 mins tube ride. It's only a 5 minute walk to Hyde Park as well as Kensington High St.
I must stress that when staying in London, location, location and location is of the utmost importance and having 3 central tube lines will get you anywhere you need to get to in London without having to change lines.
Knightsbridge is close by with the famous Harrods, it's only a 5 minutes walk to Gloucester Rd tube.
The 49 bus (3 mins walk from the flat) takes you to the new billion pound shopping complex Westfield, passing Kensington High St on the way.
There are many international restaurants and bars in the area. Quality shopping at Waitrose and nearby Sainsburys supermarkets. Check in 4pm - checkout 10am.
We will be on hand to meet and show you how everything works in the apartment. We will happily answer your questions and fulfil you requests in any way we can and can also hire you a car and driver to take you to and from the airport if required.

This property is in an excellent location for walking and enjoying the best of London. I stayed there with my daughter and could not have been happier with our choice. Though located in Central London, the street was very quiet and peaceful.
We were visiting for my daughter’s graduation and this flat was the perfect place to stay. It was clean, warm and inviting! The location can’t be beat! Centrally located and so close to the tube. It was so nice after a long day to come back to the flat to relax and get a good night’s sleep. The beds are comfortable and the flat size was perfect for our family of four. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks Jennifer for nice review.
Much appreciated straight after a bad one!
Everything about this rental was top notch! A well-equipped, clean and cozy flat. The skylights gave us natural light, and host Julie was most helpful and accommodating! The location was convenient with easy access to top attractions, yet letting us feel like local Kensington dwellers. Thanks!
Lovely apartment, great area, just a short walk from the tube station, close to Kensington High Street and Brompton Road where there’s great restaurants, pubs and shopping.

Thanks for your lovely review Desmond. Hope to have you stay again.
We actually didn’t cook while there but used the microwave to reheat and the fridge to store food. We washed dishes by hand but a dishwasher was available.
Great location. Close to the subway and store.The flat is a basement and has steep stairs.Furniture and rugs in the bathroom could be updated. Julie communicated quickly with us.

Apartment very dated and worn. Looks like no care is given - dirty carpet, very worn dirty looking cushions on sofa, half dead pot plant, very mouldy blind in bathroom. Kitchen small but well equipped. A cd player with old cds, very out of date guide books. It could be great with some attention.

Hi Susie,
Thanks for your feedback.
New carpet going in onJanuary 2026 which is when I’m going over to the flat.
Also new blind in bathroom.
I’m pleased you found the kitchen was so well equipped.
Kind regards,
Julie
Spend 9 days here and it was a spectacular visit. The flat was everything we needed. Having close proximity to museums, parks and transportation only made things better. Truly a gem in the center of the bustle of the big city.

Thanks for great review.
I agree with all you said.
Amazing location and great value if you look for a 2BR at a reasonable price.Lovely place with 2 nice-size bedroom, the location is A and the neighborhood is stunning. We stayed for 3 nights and had all the necessities for the stay. There is a washer and dryer, dishwasher and enough kitchen utensils and cookware to stock up for breakfasts or dinners.It was very cosy and quite at night and the location allows for exploration of many of the London neighborhoods worth a visit, including Kensington, Notting Hill. Thank you for letting us visit!
Location, location, location. Perfect place to base yourself to explore London. Lovely and quiet, yet so close to everything. Only five minutes walk to Gloucester Road Tube Station,10 minutes walk to Kensington Gardens and 30 minute walk to Harrods. The unit has everything you need including ability to cook meals if thats what youre after. Would certainly stay here again.

Thanks so much for your great review Michael. I agree with everything you say!
Great location and Julie was very responsive. Only complaint is the property could do with some updating (including bathroom towels and kitchen pots/crockery/glasses).
We had a great experience in this property. It was very well located, safe neighborhood with lot of restaurants nearby. Gloucester Road station is just 3-4 min. walk connecting to the most important sights in London. Communication with Host was wonderful. Julie would respond to messages within minutes and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this property.

About the host
Hosted by Julie
I live in N. Ireland with my husband and have been letting property since 1976. I lived in London before I married so it's always a good excuse to come back when reletting the apartment. I have twin girls of 33 - Claire is married and teaches A level maths. Kate is also married and is a primary school teacher. Prior to this Kate pioneered a charity in Uganda for 5 years sponsoring street children called Tomorow's Heros now renamed Freedom Heroes.
Why they chose this property
I love this property because of the location as it is just so close to everything and has a real buzz to the area. It feels very light and airy. I also still have friends in this area.
What makes this property unique
It is much quieter than most London flats as it's a REAR lower ground floor flat and not underneath the building. That is why it's so light because it is not in the basement as such. This can be seen in the photos.
