About this property

Beautiful Studio Flat Near Kensington Palace

A studio is in a nice area next to Kensington Gardens, 7 minute walk to Kensington Palace. Although it is in basement of a Georgian house, there is enough light and when it is sunny outside, it is quite bright. It was completely re-done three years ago and has all the modern facilities, including Wi-Fi, washing and drying machines, dishwasher, etc. The studio’s size is approximately 27 square meters.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, a freezer, a kettle, a Nespresso coffee machine, cooking pans, cutlery and crockery.
A separate bathroom has a shower. It is simple and modern.
There is a Anglican church in front of the house and if you don't mind, you'll be woken up every morning by the church bells that start chiming at 8:45am and strike every 15 minutes until 10pm.
The room has a King size bed with a memory foam mattress (180x200 cm that corresponds to 6'' bed). All the bedlinen and towels are included in the price.
There are 3 underground stations around, all 5-7 minutes to walk to depending how quickly you walk. The nearest will be Bayswater, then Queensway and Notting Hill. Walking across the park, you'll find youself at the Royal Albert Hall and near Exhibition Road with 3 great museums: V&A, Science and Natural History. There is a bicycle rent stop next to my place and another one just at the entrance to the park, if you prefer to explore London by bike.

Excellent Flat
A perfect location for our time in London. Underground stations are close by (less than 5-minute walk) and Hyde Park is a block away. Many choices for restaurants and groceries. Check in/out was seamless.

Perfect Flat in a perfect location
This flat was a perfect location for my wife and me to tour London for four days. It’s bright, clean and quiet. Easy to get to public transportation and there are many restaurant locations close to the flat. Having the washer and dryer was ideal since we had just spent a week in Scotland. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to Notting Hill. We would definitely return

Unfortunate Stay
We never got the stove to work despite repeatedly asking the host to explain how to turn it on. She apologized that the handyman was on vacation so no one turned up to help. There was no explanation for operating the coffee machine, which we couldn't get to work. There was no salt in the kitchen, no potholder, the bedside lights didn't work. In was in a nice neighborhood but all in all, a big disappointment.

A really nice stay and a perfect location!
All in all the flat ended up being a really great place to stay and experience London! It was the perfect size for my wife and I, and the location was incredible. Always a tube ride away from everything, can’t ask for more!

Perfect Studio in a Perfect Location
The check-in was so easy and the garden smelled amazing walking through the garden gate. Bed super comfortable and the church bells were very soothing. Having laundry and a kitchen was a huge benefit and the closet space was very generous. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location to the tube
Everything was just lovely. The bed is a true king size and the washer and dryer being separate units made doing laundry so easy. Check in and out procedures were delayed and all of our questions were answered ahead of time. There was even water and juices in the fridge upon arrival. I appreciated the host messaged about final payment since I thought VRBO was automatically charging the final payment. Super kind and responsive host. I would absolutely stay here again.

Nice clean apartment in a great area
This is a basement apartment with a nice courtyard across the street from a church. The area is really nice and close to Notting Hill. Elena was super responsive and helpful. The apartment is basically one room that is bedroom/living room with a nice sized and fully functional kitchen and bathroom. I read other reviews before booking about the church bells and stairs down to the apartment. The bells were not annoying at all so no issue there. The stairs are small and narrow metal, and I was terrified of falling especially with it being wet and rainy. I took it slow and careful, but I don't recommend taking large luggage for that reason.

Weekend stay
The studio is newly updated and very comfortable - I absolutely loved the shower with the waterfall head. The neighborhood is quiet and the private garden is lovely. I would really give the property a 4.5 star rating. For a short stay, some additional conveniences - like tea in the cupboard (there was a very nice kettle) and some type of soap for the shower - were missing that would have put it over the top.

Fabulous Bayswater Flat
The basement flat at Lancaster Gate is perfect for one or two people for a visit to London. Although it’s a bit small, the flat comes with all the amenities one needs. The neighborhood is filled with restaurants and it’s only a short walk to Kensington Gardens. Best of all, it’s also a short walk to two underground stations, one on the Circle Lime and the other on the Central Line, so it’s easy and fast to get to your site seeing destination.

Great location, clean and as described.
The flat is handy to several tube stations, lots of pubs nearby as well. Our only issue at all was the shower. No place to put shampoo or soap, if you use the waterfall head you are blasted by the water. And there’s no way to keep the water inside the shower, so it’s a wet mess! It was great having the washer and dryer.

Lovely London
This property is very well located for all things in London. There is a coffee shop round the corner. Easy access to Taxis and rail station. Be sure to eat at the Shed restaurant (just around the corner, farm to table and very lovely atmosphere). We were able to walk to Kensington Palace and the park and the Royal Albert hall. We also walked to Harods and the shops. We took a taxi to Burroughs Market (worth it) and walked from there to Big Ben, West Minister Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Anyway, the place is warm and very convenient for such adventures. Well appointed for whatever you need and a comfortable bed. Wi-Fi, TV and a blow dryer to boot. Kitchen is well appointed for dining in or storing your left overs. We love London!!!!!

Great stay in London
Great flat for two. Super hosts, clean flat, having laundry facilities made it so convenient for our stay. Church bells across street were not intrusive as flat was well insulated. Easy walk to two tube stations and easy access to bus lines. Picnic table in front yard (park) was great to use for late afternoon coffee or tea. Have kitchen allowed us to make our own breakfasts and the local grocery stores had everything we needed for our needs. Even though this is a basement flat it was bright and airy. We enjoyed the easy access to Kensington park

Perfect Stay, Great Location
This basement apartment in Bayswater is just a few steps from both the Bayswater and Queensway tube stations, making it incredibly convenient and easy to get just about anywhere you might want to go around London. The kitchen is well-equipped, the washer/dryer made it easy to pack and travel light, and the fridge even came pre-loaded with a few essentials. Our host was fabulous and communicative. There are a ton of great restaurants available within easy walking distance (don't miss Santorini). We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and highly recommend it for couples traveling to London!
