About this property

Lovely central one bedroom flat with outdoor space, Kennington

Enjoy my lovely flat in Kennington! Located on the entrance to a beautiful square, walking distance to the river & just a 15 minute walk to Westminster & the Southbank. A perfect location, close to London attractions & short journeys to airports.

My flat is beautifully furnished with restored wooden flooring, lots of light and a little terrace that you can enjoy during the spring/summer. Ideal for friends, couples or business guests! Great places to eat brunch/dinner near by, I have lots of recommendations!

This is not an empty commercial holiday apartment - the flat is my home! You will find a whole bookshelf of books you can borrow, a set of boules to use in the cute little square around the corner and all of the condiments and sauces you might need for cooking. Hopefully more character than staying in a hotel and will feel like a really lovely home away from home in a quiet, pretty part of central London.

Have previously rented lots of times on Airbnb but less on VRBO so I have attached a photo of the previous reviews.

Homely
Exactly as advertised. This is a personal little flat with pretty much everything you enjoy at home. Plenty of books/games at hand but no TV, so if you require this take a tablet/laptop to live stream. Hannah-Beth, the host is always quick to answer questions if required. Checking in/out easy. Pubs/restaurants/cafes are all on the doorstep with the Kennington tube just a 5 minute walk away, and you can be in central London in no time.

Lovely Kennington flat
The flat is in a great location. Near Kennington underground which is directly connected to all the main areas of London. There is a nice pub across the road and cafes and restaurants in the local area. The flat itself is well laid out with a decent kitchen and good shower. It was a bit disconcerting to have the owners things everywhere. We haven't stayed anywhere like that before but we got used to it. Would have liked a bit more room in the fridge but we managed to get our items in. Flat very clean and in the summer the small balcony area would be good to use. We would visit again.

Apartment was not what was advertised
When we booked the main 3 points we wanted was heating, washing machine and dryer. We were notified the evening before check in the washing machine was broken, we were not told that the dryer wasn’t working either. Owner said there was a laundromat close by and would pay for it. No money or instructions where it was. The heating was on low when we arrived and never worked and the heated towel rail didn’t work so our towels didn’t try. I couldn’t be bothered contacting the owner as we were over it.

Charming Kennington flat
We loved staying at Hannah-Beth’s lovely Kennington flat! The flat was well-equipped and charming. The location was excellent - it was easy to get to the city centre and the neighbourhood itself had good local restaurants and cafés. Thanks for having us, Hannah-Beth!

Ideal flat and location
My friend and I had a great time staying in this apartment. We pretty much used all the facilities except the washing machine and everything was comfortable and well appointed. If I had any complaint it was we couldn't find a corkscrew but aside from that the flat was perfect for the two of us and very close to amenities for a long weekend being touristy. Many thanks for having us!

Amazing Place for your London visit
We stayed in Hannah-Beth’s apartment for 3 nights. It was perfect - amazing location! We took the Santander bikes (station right in front of the place) to get around London. Also many pubs in walking distance. The apartment itself has EVERYTHING you could ask for. We will definitely come back for our next London trip (hope it’ll be available!!). Take care Hannah-Beth, and thanks for everything. - Alexandra and Tristan

Perfect cozy getaway!
This flat was exactly what my fiancé and I were looking for! Adorable neighborhood with lots of good restaurants and pubs nearby and easy to get to anywhere in the city. Keep in mind that this is the hosts home which we loved because it felt so cozy and welcoming. Definitely a home away from home. The host was absolutely amazing and so helpful, would recommend this place to anyone.

Marvellous
This beautifully decorated apartment was the perfect accomodation for our four-days stay at London. It is located in a lovely suburban neigbourhoud in the quarter of Kennington. Shops where you find anything you need for your daily necessities are located only a few steps away and open 24/7. Public transport takes you whereever you want within a few minutes. Last but not least, Hannah-Beth, the landlord, is easily reachable and glad to help with any problem there may be. This apartment is a clear recommendation!

It is as it states. Owners stuff is in the unit, however, there is room for your needs and the location is a 5 minute walk to the Tube for transportation, 30 minute walk to waterfront. Amazing stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Gorgeous home from home!
Thank you so much Hannah-Beth for such a lovely stay. We really felt at home here! We loved our morning stroll from the flat to the river bank in Westminster and couldn’t believe how central we were. We also borrowed your Roasting Tin cook book and liked it so much we’ve ordered a copy for ourselves. The flat was clean, comfy and had absolutely everything we needed. Thank you for being so quick to answer all our questions too. We’ll miss having our morning coffee sat outside but I’m sure we’ll be back for a weekend away next year!

Disappointed...
I have stayed in rentals on two continents and this property is NOT what was advertised. This is someone's home and she rents it out while she travels. The pictures show a neat and tidy place, but there is junk stashed everywhere-- massive recycling cardboard under the table, personal items shoved and spilling out under the bed, behind the couch, etc. Massive amounts of booze on every dusty shelf, and a blackboard with prices for everything! The "patio" is a narrow walkway between the units, and is cluttered with junk. She advertised a washer and dryer, then when you arrive, instructions say not to use the dryer. (And no instructions on how to use the washer/dryer for washing only.) You'll find the hairdryer in a shoebox behind the guitar, in the bedroom, not under the sink with her old hair brush, and half used Listerine bottle. When making the bed, I peeked at the mattress-- stained and disgusting. Towel dryer doesn't work. These 'non working' items were listed in a previous review, but not fixed. You are left instructions on what to do with the trash, and to water the house plants. Sorry, I rented a place-- I'm not your house sitter! Usually, a host leaves a small amount of food--yogurt, muffins, etc. to tide a guest over until they can go shopping. Not so here. A previous review was not complimentary of this place and the owner slammed them for the negative review. Hopefully, she can address these deficiencies as a grown-up and not slam me,

About the host

Hosted by Hannah-Beth

Host profile image
I am a teacher in central London and this is my home! I rent out my flat when I am away travelling or staying with friends. I hope you like staying there as much as I love living there!

Why they chose this property

This is my home. It is warm and cosy in the winter and has a lovely terrace that you can sit out on and have a coffee in the summer. I live there for most of the year so everything inside it is really lovely. Make yourself at home, enjoy a cold beer from the fridge and make use of the salt/pepper/spices etc in the cupboard. The flat is very central but tucked off of the main road with the bedroom on the back overlooking a courtyard so it is really quiet!

What makes this property unique

- Central location - I walk or cycle to most places!
- Great transport links (close to Vauxhall and Kennington tube stations, a bus stop with routes down to Brixton and up to Oxford Street and Elephant and Castle/Vauxhall/Waterloo train stations which make getting out of London really easy).
- Lovely terrace which gets the sunshine in the morning - perfect for a morning cup of tea/coffee.
- I renovated the flat so even though it isn't a huge space, it is perfectly designed to be comfortable - lovely double bed, huge sofa, new kitchen with a big fridge freezer, the best rain shower!
- It is on the entrance to Cleaver Square! This is a little oasis of loveliness in the big city! In the winter, have a delicious roast at the pub or in the summer, rent a set of boules from there and play a game of petanque in the sunshine!
