This apartment was ideally suited for two or three people. The pullout couch was great for a child but I’m not sure about an adult sleeping on it. The bedroom was comfortable and we loved the apartment. It’s nestled down a relatively quiet street but close to restaurants and a tube station is only a 10 minute walk away. We loved everything about it and we would definitely stay here again.

Just completed two stays at the apartment. Apartment is very well kept and in a fantastic location, steps away from restaurants, bars and supermarkets. Close to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park. Easy walks to Knightsbridge and Notting Hill. For a week long stay the apartment suits us well, easy to use kitchen for a meal in, comfortable bed and a nice little terrace to enjoy a glass or two. No problem when the weather was on the warmer side as there is a great cross breeze from the large windows and bi-fold doors, air con and a good fan. Thanks again, our fourth stay here and hopefully more to com.

Lovely stay in London

neighborhood. Easy to get answers to any questions from a very responsive and helpful host. And we really appreciated the air conditioning. It was a bit far from central London but great neighborhood and restaurants nearby. Easy to get to a bus or tube station to get to central London.

Kensington Life

Loved Mikhael’s flat - clean, quiet, well located and comfy in a very lovely neighborhood. Easy to find, easy to navigate to bus or tube, plenty of options for food at your doorstep. The little covered space outside is really pleasant, and it was nice to be able to get a load of laundry or two done during our stay. The air conditioner kept us cool in a blisteringly hot stretch - a real game changer!

Truly A Gem!

Absolutely Perfect in every way! There was everything we needed for a great, comfortable stay in this lovely apartment. I hope it was okay that we left a few things in the apt.that the next guests may find useful, such as individual packs of tissues, wet wipes, and unused, new disposable raincoat. The check in process was absolutely seamless. We thank you for everything in making our stay in London even more enjoyable. You are the best!

Nice place in a great location

Overall, the stay was great. Fantastic location and generally clean and bright apartment. The bathroom was slightly dirty and did have a strange odour coming from it that we could not seem to get rid of. All in all, I would recommend this place and location to others.

Convenient hideaway

Very convenient little hideaway though several stairs once inside front door. Close to high street and all amanities. Direct train to Heathrow T4 from an easy 10 minute walk down to station. Warm, comfortable bed, soundproof which opposite a pub is a plus. Bathroom small but all workable. Would stay again for convenience alone.

Perfect location with attentive owner

We had a fabulous stay at this sweet place. The location was awesome. The property manager was very attentive. We had a little hiccup because he was using a different service for cleaning and we were without some extra linens, but the owner was SO kind that he credited us for our trouble for part of our rate. I would CERTAINLY stay here again. It was the perfect size for myself and my 2 tween boys.

Great flat in excellent location!

Great flat on 2nd floor. Shopping and restaurants close by with larger grocery store 6 mins away. Short walk to the tube. Across from pub but still very quiet in the evening. Although we stayed in the winter, the outdoor patio was great. Stairs to flat are a bit steep, but even with PD I was able to get up and down without too much trouble. We will definitely stay here again on our next London holiday!

The location is great. Close to underground and easy access to taxis. Close to parks, grocery stores and multiple restaurants. I was traveling with my adult son so the two separate sleeping areas were useful. Access instructions were easy and accurate. Great place to stay.
