Photos and Description of the Kensington vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

Our apartment on Iverna Gardens, London is located on a beautiful, garden square in a residential area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is on the fourth floor and is very quiet, yet only a couple of minutes walk to Kensington High St, with the tube (subway), buses, shops, restaurants and cafes only minutes away,

The apartment has been recently refurbished to an American standard. It is modern, spacious and light and very well equipped. The kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, garbage disposal and all appliances. The master bedroom has a large kingsize bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has 2 twin (single) beds which can be 'zipped & linked' to form a king size bed. There is also another separate bathroom. There is a small balcony, just big enough for 2 chairs to sit and have a cup of coffee and look over the rooftops to the dome of the Armenian church and look down to the leafy square.

The wonderful sites of London are within easy access as we are so central. Hyde Park and Kensington gardens are a ten-minute walk in one direction. Holland Park is a ten-minute walk in the other direction. We are within a short distance of the Royal Albert Hall, the museums and Harrods. The theatre district is just a short hop away.

From Heathrow you can take the Heathrow express to Paddington and then tube or taxi - or we would be happy to arrange a taxi pick-up for you with our own driver.

About Lynne

We are a British couple who lived 25 years in USA mainly on the island of Maui in Hawaii where we had a Real Estate business so appreciate the standard that Americans are used to.

We returned to the UK a few years ago primarily to take care of elderly parents.

Lynne purchased this apartment in 2006
Why Lynne chose Kensington

When we used to live in Hawaii, we spent our summers in London, which is why we bought this apartment as a second home. Now we are living in the UK, we are renting this apartment for others to enjoy

What makes this apartment unique

Our apartment is in an extremely convenient location which was the main reason we bought it. It is 2 minutes from one of the best shopping streets in London (Kensington High Street, a High Street is British english for an American 'Main Street'). It is also only 2 minutes from a tube (subway) Station (Kensington High Street Station). The apartment is very light and has been recently refurbished and is equipped to American standards. Being on the fourth floor, the apartment is very safe and secure. The double glazing ensures a quiet environment. Both bedrooms have room-darkening curtains which is very useful during the summer months when it is light outside early in the morning. The apartment location is only 5-10 minutes from Hyde Park which at 625 acres is one of the largest parks in London.

Perfect

This was a perfect fit for our 5 day trip to London. The property is as advertised and the manager (Karen) performed flawlessly. We found the apartment clean, everything functioning, and in order. We got in the building on time and people met us when they said they would. Reliability is the word for owner and manager. Thanks Lynne and Karen.

A truly excellent apartment in every respect

5 of 5
Submitted: April 26, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My wife, 21 year old daughter and friend, and myself, stayed here for 8 nights during an unseasonably cold early April. This apartment is truly excellent in every respect. It is modern, impeccably clean, very well equipped, spacious, light and bright, and the king size bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. It is, as stated in the description, a genuine one to two minute walk to Kensington High Street station, which is conveniently located on the Circle line, and all of the shopping of Kensington High Street. Despite this close proximity to all of Kensington's conveniences it is remarkably quiet. I am a light sleeper and am very concerned about noise at night. Throughout our stay I never heard a sound all night. The apartment had more than enough space and comfort for four adults, and had the feeling of a real home in a delightful neighbourhood. From my initial contact with the owners, through to collection from the airport by their organised driver, introduction to the apartment by the housekeeper, and finally return of the security deposit... all dealings were extremely prompt, reliable, courteous and helpful.
I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough for quality, comfort, location and convenience. You can be totally confident of a happy stay in a lovely and well managed property. We will definitely be looking to stay here again next time we are in London.
My sincere thanks to Lynne and her property manager Karen for such a wonderful stay.

Fabulous flat in a great location!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 30, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We stayed 9 nights at 51 Iverna Gardens over the winter holidays. The flat was wonderful! We were two adults and two kids (ages 12 and almost 17). The flat had plenty of space for the four of us. It was quiet and comfortable. We usually ate breakfast and dinner in (usually take away from nearby restaurants, but we did cook dinner a couple of nights). The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The appliances worked well and the instruction manuals were easy to find and use. The flat was immaculate when we arrived. The manager was very helpful when we had questions. All our dealings with the owner and the manager were by email (both from home in the US and while we were in London) and they were always responsive and prompt. The location of the flat was perfect. It is close to the tube, many bus lines, a great shopping district and many sights. The nearest tube lines weren’t running (maintenance) the first week we were in town, but the buses on Kensington High Street got us everywhere we needed to go. Even before we left, we were trying to figure out when we can come back. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Beautiful Comfortable Accommodation in London

5 of 5
Submitted: December 8, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
I visit London every year to visit family. This year a friend came along for the last week of my trip and we rented this flat. We wanted a two bedroom and also wanted the convenience of having our breakfast in without rushing, wine and appies pre theatre etc so a flat seemed the perfect arrangement.
This flat in Iverna Gardens suited us perfectly, it was lovely and clean with two very comfortable bedrooms (mattresses are great) and two lovely modern bathrooms which was a bonus. The kitchen
has everything you need including washer and dryer which were handy. Plenty of nice dishes, pots coffee maker.....just everything.
The view from the 5 th floor is lovely, a garden square and a very pretty little white church (I think it is
Armenian), we loved sitting with our coffee in the morning and looking out.
The location couldn't have been better, a two minute walk to the tube, across the road from buses to Oxford Street, Knitghtsbridge or wherever you wish to go.
We ate at two of the fabulous restaurants just off of Kensington High Street and it was so nice to be able to stroll the 5 minute walk back to the flat and not need transportation.
There is a lovely park (I think it's Holland Park) a 5 minute walk away and we enjoyed starting each day with a walk through.
I will definintely look forward to another stay in this fabulous flat and am happy to recommend it.

Stop looking - this is THE flat!

We just got back to Buenos Aires after a week in London, and want to thank Rosie and Karen for having gone out of their way to make us feel at home from the moment we arrived at the flat til the minute we left. The flat exceeded our expectations and was perfect in every respect - location (wonderful - shops, restaurants, tube 2 minutes away), spotless, really fully equipped, and not only fully equipped but everything worked which is often not the case, plenty of cupboard space, hangers, a printer for the computer, really hot water, not just a washer but a washer/dryer, fridge and big freezer. We were 3 adults and a 14 year-old, never got in each others' way, there are 2 Plasma TV sets plus wifi so we all had something to keep us busy! In other words, stop looking - this is the place to stay!
