Fantastic location - close to transport, shops and restaurants. Great communication and easy pick up and drop off for keys. The flat itself was as pictured - it was clean but carpets were a bit stained and there were no basics in the kitchen if you plan to eat in. Overall we were happy with our stay.

The place was reasonably clean. There were issues with the kitchen faucet. It sprayed everywhere when you first turned it on. The water reservoir for the Nespresso coffee maker was clogged and did not work. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms and the beds were comfortable. The location is quiet but close to shops and public transit.

Beautiful, upscale neighborhood. Walking distance to lots of food options. The beds and sofa could use a little refresh but other than that, the apartment is bright and comfortable.

Nice Apt. In Kensington
Overall, quite happy with the apartment. It has a spacious master bedroom and the basic amenities any traveler might need. Although you can occasionally hear some street traffic, we never heard any of our neighbors in the building (which was a plus). Also, we felt the apartment matched the pictures shown on VRBO (which isn’t always the case). The location is good with many nice restaurants and shopping nearby. We’d recommend this place to others.

A good starting point to explore London
The apartment is very suitable for 4 people. Everything you need for a short city trip is available, e.g. hairdryer, fridge, milk frother, Nespresso machine (unfortunately we had the wrong capsules with us).In the room facing the street you can hear the traffic (but a side street), as there are only single glazed windows.
