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!

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.

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.

Seeing London

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.

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.

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!
