A/C was a godsend
The location is reasonably handy to the underground and is a nice neighborhood to go walking in. Accommodation was good and as described. As mentioned in the title, the A/C in the bedroom meant we could sleep at night in the 30 degree weather.

Amazing Location!!
We loved this Kensington place! We were 3 adults and it fit us perfectly. The breakfast just down the street was superb! We also loved how close we were to the subway system and was able to get to all main London sites within minutes. We had family come in from the suburbs of London and they equally could not get over how fabulous this location is! Highly recommend! 5 stars for sure!!

Perfect Location
We were ending our vacation with a couple days in London. This flat was close enough to all the sites to be within walking distance or a short tube ride. Nice clean flat. Checking in and out was very easy. The futon couch was a bit tight for 2 young adults to sleep on but they managed for 2 nights. You can hear the people in the flat above you. I highly recommend the pub across the street and the pizza shop up the road for food. The coffee shop nearby had delicious croissants.

Perfect location
All was as expected on arrival. Very clear communication from the owner. Flat was easy to find, close to the Underground, and there were great small and local coffee shops and restaurants right down the street. Beautiful streets. We enjoyed exploring Kensington and its neighborly feel. It was a welcome respit after busy days exploring more touristy destinations. Flat was clean and had what we needed and we enjoyed the little porch as well. Small and perfect for our London stay.

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!

Wish we could have stayed longer!
This is such a wonderful place. The modern entry and hallway, the beautifully modern unit itself, the neighborhood, the bed! I cannot give this place enough kudos. And Mikhail was such a generous host: we couldn’t figure out the heating system because neither one of us had ever dealt with radiators before. Mikhail actually came over, showed us how to use them, stayed chatting with us while the place heated up, and didn’t even make fun of us. Bonus! We had such a wonderful stay. Thank you, Mikhail!

STAY AWAY FROM HERE
On two separate occasions, the upstairs flat had a bad water leak when taking a shower and it spilled into our flat flooding our kitchen and kitchen floor. We couldn't cook our breakfast for two days. The owner said that these things happen and DID bring us towels to clean up the mess. He stated that the people upstairs took the showers with the door open causing the flood. However, it was clear there was a clog in the drain making our stay horrible. He stated he would refund us 100 pounds for the inconvenience but we have yet to see it. The location was quite good, just a quick walk to Kensington Palace and a 10 minute walk to the tube. We don't normally give such bad reviews but this trip would have been very nice without the flooding and subsequent brush off. The owner APPEARED nice but sounded like a used car salesman when we approached him with the problem

The owner was very prompt in his replies and very helpful. The flat was comfortable and in an excellent location. We would definitely stay here again on a future trip! Tip: it is a 2nd floor walk up via narrow and polished stairs. But that also affords a lovely view out of the lounge window.
