The kitchen had everything that we needed for our 7 night stay. The location is excellent for tube, buses and grocery shopping. There are also some good restaurants within a close walking distance. Holly was great to meet, and it was nice to meet her husband too.

Very good location. The host very active and nice. The description fails to indicate that the flat is in a basement, and therefore you have to go down to reach it. Its not suitable for seniors who carry luggage. The stairs are tricky and difficult for access. The towels and such could use renovation. Overall a good experience

Great location!

My teenage son and I stayed at this VRBO. The description accurately described the space. We liked that the bed splits in two so we each had our own bed. The closet area outside the bathroom worked well for a private changing area. The neighborhood has easy access to two tube stops, grocery stores and Hyde Park. Holly was always avaliable for questions and easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay, great location

Holly’s flat was perfect for our week stay in London. It was located in a lovely part of town with great museums, restaurants, cafes, and pubs nearby. It was also a short walk to the tube, so it was easy to take a train to any other part of London. The flat itself had all we needed: a comfortable bed, refrigerator, stove, and bathroom with a nice shower. Holly was a lovely host and very easy to communicate with. We very much recommend this spot!

Great location and local hosts!

Wonderful garden apartment (note:there are steps) with comfortable bed, clean kitchen and bath and super Kensington/Hyde park location. Close to 2 tube stops, grocery, pubs and park. This was our first visit to London but hope we can come again and would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you

Perfect Location and Cozy Flat

My daughter and I had the pleasure of spending eight days in South Kensington. This apartment is in the perfect location…nice and quiet street with the restaurants and shops all just around the corner. Easy walk to two tube stations and bus stops. Holly was available to answer any questions and was so kind. The beds and linens were amazing and were wonderful to rest up in after long days off sightseeing! Highly recommend!

Wonderful flat

What an excellent flat! The host is welcoming, unobtrusive and available. She left excellent information on nearby restaurants and shops. The flat was perfect for a friend and I to share. The dressing room / bathroom area is great if one traveler sleeps in while the other is up and running! This flat and this host are wonderful!

Lovely Flat, Very Nice Owner!

This flat was just about perfect for us. It was our first time in London, and we loved staying in our own little flat close to restaurants and Tube stations (it's five minutes' walk away from two stations, plus about a block away from a bus stop). Holly was a perfect host -- close by in case of emergencies, very friendly, but also super respectful of our privacy. It was a pleasure meeting her! The flat is exactly as pictured/described. You can rent this one with confidence! We would definitely stay here again.

Jewel in Chelsea

This is one of the best stays I’ve ever had with vacation cottages. Our hostess greeted us, oriented us, gave us valuable insights; she was an instant friend. The apartment is so nicely decorated and maintained. Not one thing is in need of repair. She has anticipated needs of travelers and has little extras at the ready. I only wish I had booked for longer.

A comfortable, clean, compact studio in a terrific location.

The flat is a compact studio, well suited to a single traveler or a couple. Holly is an ideal host, there when you need her but leaving you to manage independently otherwise. She thinks of everything for a satisfying stay: a comfortable bed, well supplied kitchen, useful neighborhood recommendations, even a fully charged cellphone for local calls while exploring London. The studio is in one of London's most livable (and visitable) neighborhoods, with some of the world's best museums a short walk away. The studio is equidistant from two Tube stations and has a great array of shops and restaurants within an easily walkable radius. Perhaps most important of all, the room is wonderfully clean and well maintained with excellent plumbing and heating. And it is amazingly quiet for being in the middle of such a buzzing city. There is access to a large garden/park in back of the block of apartments; it looked lovely, but a wet December was not the time to enjoy it. The one downside is quite literally that: the room is below street level, so it never gets very bright in the room. Of course, if you're doing London properly, you shouldn't spend a whole lot of time in the room anyway. A fine choice for a stay in London.

Lovely studio , just like in the photos. We will love to come back. Just a heads up for future renters, the studio is like a basement and there are stairs. This accomodation won’t suit elderly or people with mobility issues. Also if you want modern style furniture , this is not for you. Thanks Hollie for letting us stay in your studio. Wishing you all the best.

We enjoyed our stay and Holly was very responsive, thoughtful, kind and helpful. Great location in Kensington - convenient to the tube, museums and restaurants. We were confortable and felt safe in a very scenic and walkable neighbourhood. The images provide an accurate representation of the property and it comes equipped with everything you will need. This was one of many London family adventures - it is a fantastic city to visit - full of character and history.

Perfect home away from home

Location was so convenient to the underground and walkable to museums and Hyde Park. It was wonderful to have such a well-equipped kitchen to prepare simple meals in the flat after long days of sight seeing. Convenient food shopping very close as well as great pubs and eateries. Highly recommend! Thanks, Holly!

Great Location, Cozy Flat!

The location of the flat was perfect! I wanted to be close to the V&A, and this was very close--about a 10 minute walk. It was also easy to reach other London destinations, either by walking or taking nearby transit. The flat itself was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans for basic cooking. There was plenty of closet space for hanging clothes. Holly, the host, was friendly and helpful. I was able to check in when I arrived from Heathrow, around 9 in the morning, which was a huge benefit. Getting to the flat from Heathrow by tube was also easy. I hope to stay in the flat again, and I recommend it to others traveling either on their own or with a partner or friend.

Very nice accommodations!

We had a lovely stay. The hosts were terrific. We loved having a clean and comfortable home base for our visit to London. It's in a nice area, situated between two tube stops and close to museums, shops and restaurants. The space worked out great and we really liked being able to make tea and have toast in the morning. The whole apartment was very well equipped! We would certainly recommend it.

Great Getaway

We loved our stay. The location was perfectly situated between two very accessible tube stations. Many restaurants and food shops within walking distance. The flat had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. We had a nice sitting and kitchen area which we could have taken more advantage of but we were so busy seeing the sights that we didn't spend much time indoors. If you're looking for a place to sleep (and maybe make your own meals) while you visit the city, this is the place to do it.

Basement flat

It’s not readily apparent that this is a basement unit. I discovered this after I made a non refundable payment. The flat is accessed by a somewhat steep staircase from the street. We loved the location and the quiet at night. We were bothered by the uneven flooring, lack of air circulation, and the fact that we saw people’s feet as they walked by. Although well provisioned, the furniture and linens are pretty worn. The flat could use some TLC.
