Outstanding Flat/rental

Dan & Cathy :-) Seattle, WA - USA
Review Submitted: November 26, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Fantastic home in quite/upscale neighborhood to return and relax in after long days on the go. The apt. is warm, comfortable and has all the necessities you'll need. The "Tube" station is a 5-7 minute walk approx. 5 blocks, up stairs/over train tracks to "Olympia-Kensington" station which is a limited line (runs about 4 times an hour) however one stop away is "Earl's Court" which has the District/Circle/Piccadily lines. If you have laptop, apt. has good speed internet service which you can go to a web page (this company will not allow me to put the web site address in my review) If you search tubeplanner on the web, there is a great web site that will find quickest or easiest route with estimated time and tells you what stops to transfer at. The bus stop about 2-3 blocks and once you figure out where you need to go/which direction/bus to take, it's a great way to see the City and get your bearings. There is a small market just downstairs which we were pleasantly surprised at how well it was stocked. The best part is we would wake each morning to the smell of bread/bakery items baking. There is also a "Waitrose" 2 bus stops or about a 15 minute walk away which if you bring the apt. address/zip code, they will deliver at no charge.
We have rented many private homes (prefer over hotels) and what most impressed us was the owner. She was OUTSTANDING for customer service! She was expedient in answering questions before and during our stay. We visited close to Thanksgiving and in an attempt to make a Thanksgiving dinner for our daugher and a few of her friends who are studying abroad, we were unable to locate a turkey. I asked Yvonne if she might know where we could get one, and without hesitation, she told us not to worry about it, that she would make sure we had one. We told her the day we needed it and she went above & beyond. She ordered and delivered the turkey as well as additional pots/pans, electric carving knife, etc. Yvonne went above and beyond what we would expected. She is friendly, attentive, but not at all intrusive.
We would HIGHLY recommend this appartment/flat. We also extend our Thank-you and appreciation to Yvonne for sharing her place and making this feel like a home away from home.

Lovely stay in Kensington!

elldml Rhode Island, USA
Review Submitted: November 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I traveled with a friend to London in September 2009 for a vacation. The apartment was a wonderful option for two adults traveling together. It was charming and tidy place and just the right size. There were two comfortable bedrooms and two baths, providing plenty of room. The living areas of the apartment were bright, nicely furnished and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of crockery for cooking and there was a washing machine for clothes washing. There was no clothes dryer, but clothes dried quickly when hung to dry.

The neighborhood was very quiet and very close to the Olympia tube station. There were several small markets for simple purchases and a well stocked Waitrose market a few blocks away. Yvonne, the owner of the apartment was very helpful and provided us with a number of resources and information, including information on a wonderful transportation service. We could not have had a lovelier place to stay. The apartment is highly recommended!

Holiday Highlight

Cathy-1 Toronto - Canada
Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
An excellent holiday rental for stays in London. Perfect for 2 couples travelling together. Fully equipped modern appliances with close proximity to major shopping. Ample cooking utensils and sufficient crockery for entertaining. Bedrooms located upstairs providing separation from immediate living area. High quality linens provided for beds and bath. Good water pressure for showers. Living area is comfortable with LCD TV and easy connect Wi-Fi if you have a laptop.

Apartment was very clean with lots of supplies available for our use (soaps, detergents, broom etc.). Kitchen also had initial supply of coffee filters, limited spices, cooking oil etc.

Terrace with chairs and picnic table available for warm weather stays.

Location: easy access to Kensington High Street buses (2 minutes) and Kensington High Street Underground (15 minutes). Olympia Underground is closer but less convenient. Easy enjoyable walk to Kensington Gardens & Palace, Portabello Road, Notting Hill etc. Holland Park (5 minutes) beautiful natural area.

Friendly owner who met us uppon arrival and provided good explanation of accommodation and nearby services. Apartment contained good supply of maps and directions.

Local neighbourhood shop owners very helpful with additional directions when required.

Points to consider:
Kitchen table can seat 4 only but additional can sit around coffee table in living room.
Two full sets of narrow stairs - apartment living space is above store front and bedrooms are an additional flight of stairs.

All in all.... staying at this location proved to be a highlight of our trip to the UK. Highly recommended.

Kensington Apartment Stay August 2009

Delighted Scotland Tourists Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) would highly recommend this accommodation. It was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped; just as advertised. Yvonne was very gracious, welcoming, and helpful in giving recommendations about the nearby restaurants, shopping and attractions. The apartment was very close to transit (both the underground and buses) and High Street was only a short walk away as well. We actually arrived in London by train, took the underground to the apartment (short walk, about 2 blocks) and again used the underground to get to the airport when we were leaving. There is no need for a car or taxi from this apartment's location. It was lovely to relax on the deck after a long day of sightseeing.

Perfect Location

Brent, Montreal Montreal,Quebec,Canada
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We really enjoyed our 8 day stay in this lovely Kensington apartment. I was with my wife and 2 adult daughters and there was plenty of room for all, especially with the 2 bathrooms and outside terrace. The apartment is fully equiped and was exactly as it appears on the web site. The location provided a perfect base from which to explore London either by underground or bus. The latter was our preferred method. Staying in Kensington was also nice as it enabled us to experience some of the local life away from the main tourist areas. Don't hesitate to rent this apartment as it sure beats staying in a hotel. The reservation process was easy and Yvonne, the owner was quick to respond by e-mail to any questions that I had prior to our arrival.
