About this property
Elegant flat, 3 mins from South Kensington tube
A polished top-floor apartment on Old Brompton Road, South Kensington — just 3 minutes from the tube. Sleep 2 in a double room with decorative fireplace, unwind in a leather-sofa living room with rooftop views, and cook in a fully equipped separate kitchen. Twin wash basins, fast Wi-Fi and a dining table that doubles as a desk. Note: no lift, stairs to third floor, reduced headroom under eaves. Perfect for a couple or solo traveller exploring the best of West London.
The apartment occupies the third floor of the building. Entering from the shared hallway, the bathroom lies straight ahead and gives an immediate hint of the comfort that awaits. It features dual wash basins — convenient when two guests are staying — a full bath and an overhead shower attachment.
To the left of the bathroom is the combined living and dining area. A three-seater leather sofa, two armchairs and a flat-screen TV make it a relaxed space to unwind, while bookshelves stocked by the owners provide browsing material. The dining table seats four and offers rooftop views; it can also serve as a workspace, and fast Wi-Fi is provided throughout the apartment. Additional cupboard storage is available in the living and dining area and in the hallway.
The separate kitchen is fully equipped with countertop space, quality appliances, cookware and utensils. A small table and two chairs sit within the kitchen, with a window that looks straight down Old Brompton Road.
The double bedroom is beautifully presented, with the bed overlooking a decorative fireplace. Two integrated wardrobes provide ample storage for clothes and bags.
Worth noting: as this is a top-floor apartment, the slope of the eaves reduces headroom slightly on the window side of the living and dining room. There is no lift in the building, so stairs must be climbed to reach the apartment. There are also a few steps from street level up to the front door, which is shared with occupants of the apartments on the lower floors.
Guests have the entire apartment to themselves. No parking is available at the property.
Old Brompton Road, which the apartment overlooks, is a modern high street with shops and a wide variety of restaurants. To the south lies Chelsea, including the Royal Marsden and Royal Brompton hospitals and, beyond, the King`s Road with its boutiques and cafés. To the north is South Kensington`s celebrated museum quarter: the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum are all close to one another. Further north lie Imperial College London, the Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park, the Serpentine Gallery and Kensington Palace.

We had a delightful stay in South Kensington, thanks to this terrific flat! Communication with the host was exceptional! We were conveniently located for everything we wanted to do in London! We’ll be back!
This property was a great place to hang your hat in London.
The rooms are wonderfully furnished with a comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. We did not cook anything as this area has many fabulous restaurants and three of London’s great museums.
There are cafes, pharmacies,
and underground station right close by.
The only thing I would caution older visitors or those with trouble ambulating is there are five flights of stairs to climb to the flat.
I would highly recommend this lovely flat and would love to rent it again in the future.
Excellent location with lots of amenities near by.Lots of stairs to the flat but worth the climb. The flat was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely stay again . From this location it was so easy to access the rest of London by the tube.
Property is very well located with tons of eating options nearby and South Kensington tube stop 2 blocks away. It is a 55 step climb to the flat which we knew, so be aware. The flat was very comfortable. There was a coat of dust on everything when we arrived, and a few things which need addressed: large piece of peeling wallpaper and a smoke detector without a battery outside the door to the flat. Kitchen was great, bed was very comfortable. Not a “King” bed, however (at least not by US standards). We were met promptly on arrival. WiFi worked great. Overall very good stay with outstanding location for exploring London.
