Lovely Christmas Stay
The living room/dining room is spacious and beautiful with very high ceilings. We really enjoyed the big projector screen tv. Kitchen was small though ok for us as we prefer to eat out but could use some things such as salt and cookie sheets. Washing machine worked fine but dryer mode did not work which was disappointing as we had laundry to do. Master bedroom was spacious but WiFi signal did not reach it, so that tv didn’t work. Could use a WiFi booster.Second bedroom was quite small and that bathroom only had a bathtub. Could use some new towels and washcloths.Really enjoyed the neighborhood with all its shops, nail salon, restaurants etc. and easy walk to the tube station.Host very easy to reach and responds quickly.All in all a great stay and we would consider staying there again.

Fantastic stay in the heart of South Kensington
This apartment is a fantastic choice – The living room has 13ft high foot ceilings and a large bay window that floods the space with natural light, making it a great place to relax after a day of exploring London.
The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a great Superking size bed and a lot of closet space, while the second bedroom is equipped with a cozy Queen size bed.
The location of the apartment could not be better, as it's right between South Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations, the city’s attractions are within easy reach. We loved being so close to kensington gardens and hyde park.
We left feeling completely spoiled and look forward to our next visit!
Thank you Vania for being such a great host.

Okay, not great for four adults
The second bedroom in this flat is extremely small. While the photos do show it as cramped, the reality is worse. It is difficult to get out of bed without burning oneself on the radiator. In addition, there is almost no storage space in the room for clothes - the only closet is taken up with extra towels and other supplies placed by the owner. It is really not suitable for a second adult couple for any length of time.
The shower in the second bath (which you can see in a couple of photographs) is not an overhead shower. It is handheld, and goes off when you put it down. Additionally, the sides of the tub are very high, so one must be extremely careful getting in and out. Again, this is of questionable utility for adults, particularly older adults.
On the positive side, the location is great, with a tube stop about an 8 minute walk and lots of grocery shopping and restaurants nearby. We enjoyed that as well as the large living area. The owner was kind enough to leave us a couple of bottles of wine as well. The master bedroom, as noted in the property summary, is large and well-appointed.

Vania was/is a fabulous property manager. He was exceptionally responsive to our questions and very helpful with all aspects of our stay in his beautiful flat. The neighborhood is exceptional, just a short walk from the tube station. We had a great stay. Thanks Vania.
