Nice place in a great location

Overall, the stay was great. Fantastic location and generally clean and bright apartment. The bathroom was slightly dirty and did have a strange odour coming from it that we could not seem to get rid of. All in all, I would recommend this place and location to others.

Convenient hideaway

Very convenient little hideaway though several stairs once inside front door. Close to high street and all amanities. Direct train to Heathrow T4 from an easy 10 minute walk down to station. Warm, comfortable bed, soundproof which opposite a pub is a plus. Bathroom small but all workable. Would stay again for convenience alone.

Beautiful flat & perfect location

Compact but airy and modern. The flat has everything you could possibly need with a bonus outdoor patio. Quiet neighborhood; walkable to Kensington Gardens, Harrods, tube stations and much more. Truly loved it — the host was truly wonderful, responsive, kind and supportive. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place to stay in London

The flat was perfect in every way, easy to access, very close to Gloucester rd tube coming straight from Heathrow. All that you need is available in the flat, it is warm and cosy, super clean with a great kitchen, lounge area and comfortable bedroom. The washer and bathroom are very nice. Located near supermarkets, shops, restaurants and tube stations ,this is a must stay if you are thinking of visiting London. Thank you Mikhael for offering such a great flat. I thoroughly enjoyed staying.

Just completed two stays at the apartment. Apartment is very well kept and in a fantastic location, steps away from restaurants, bars and supermarkets. Close to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park. Easy walks to Knightsbridge and Notting Hill. For a week long stay the apartment suits us well, easy to use kitchen for a meal in, comfortable bed and a nice little terrace to enjoy a glass or two. No problem when the weather was on the warmer side as there is a great cross breeze from the large windows and bi-fold doors, air con and a good fan. Thanks again, our fourth stay here and hopefully more to com.

Kensington Life

Loved Mikhael’s flat - clean, quiet, well located and comfy in a very lovely neighborhood. Easy to find, easy to navigate to bus or tube, plenty of options for food at your doorstep. The little covered space outside is really pleasant, and it was nice to be able to get a load of laundry or two done during our stay. The air conditioner kept us cool in a blisteringly hot stretch - a real game changer!

Truly A Gem!

Absolutely Perfect in every way! There was everything we needed for a great, comfortable stay in this lovely apartment. I hope it was okay that we left a few things in the apt.that the next guests may find useful, such as individual packs of tissues, wet wipes, and unused, new disposable raincoat. The check in process was absolutely seamless. We thank you for everything in making our stay in London even more enjoyable. You are the best!

Perfect location with attentive owner

We had a fabulous stay at this sweet place. The location was awesome. The property manager was very attentive. We had a little hiccup because he was using a different service for cleaning and we were without some extra linens, but the owner was SO kind that he credited us for our trouble for part of our rate. I would CERTAINLY stay here again. It was the perfect size for myself and my 2 tween boys.
