Charming and Lovely!
We adored staying at this home! We traveled as a family with two teenagers. The house is very spacious especially for being in such a prime location. The ground floor has a wonderful kitchen, living room and beautiful garden. The home is beautifully decorated with a charming combo of London chic meets LA cool. The hosts were very welcoming and quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood is peaceful with shops and restaurants nearby. The upscale Angelsea pub is one block away with a popular outdoor patio and the best beef wellington. The South Kensington tube stop is just 10 minutes away and has easy access with Circle, District, and Picadilly lines. We would highly recommend!

Perfect South Kensington Home
I don’t typically take the time to write a review, but our stay at this house in London was incredible and warrants providing some comments. We have stayed at many high-end VRBO properties across the US and Europe and this is the best experience we have ever had, both with the property itself and the hosts. Jay and Margot were incredible and treated us more like family than a renter of their home. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay in London. They live in the neighborhood, so their recommendations for local restaurants in Chelsea and South Kensington were all excellent. The home is beautifully decorated and furnished, and has comfortable high-quality mattresses and bedding and modern bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with top tier appliances and all the kitchenware and glassware you will need. The private garden is lovely and a bonus that you don’t typically get in London. And the location is excellent, within a short walk to lots of restaurants and shops, a 10-minute walk to the South Kensington tube station, and a 20-minute walk to Hyde Park. I highly recommend this property and we will be back on our next trip to London!

Spring Stay in South Kensington
This property checked all the boxes. Excellent location to tube stations, museums, shops and restaurants. The house was absolutely lovely. Had every amenity you would wish for. Very comfortable. The outside garden was wonderful; an oasis in the heart of London. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Ms Jay Hunt

Host profile image
We are experienced hosts who love sharing our home. We have rented a property in the Cotswolds for many years and now in 2024 we are having visitors at our London property. We have owned the property for nearly 30 years and love the house and our neighbourhood and can't want for you to experience it too.

Why they chose this property

We chose South Kensington as it has such great links to everywhere and still retains a village feel. It is cosmopolitan and we love being able to go to local markets and shops that have a really European feel. The choice of shopping and restaurants really is the best in London and it is so near to the West End for theatre and all our local museums and concert halls always have something exciting to showcase

What makes this property unique

Our property is very special as it provides a quiet space and a wonderful garden but is right in the middle of where you want to be. We travel a lot and we want to provide our guests with what we value when we are away, a lovely space with luxury touches and everything ready for you to step into so you don't waste any time doing boring jobs in a new place you want to explore. We provide a level of comfort that we would want if we were guests in our own home!
