Lovely London flat
The space was lovely - bright, airy with great sunlight and plenty of room. We slept like babies on the comfy beds after walking all over London. Our host provided all the finishing touches, including fresh flowers, everything needed for coffee/tea, and local recommendations. Fabulous location just north of Hyde Park.

The stay was adequate for our needs but not at all suitable for four adults. The sleeping arrangements were particularly disappointing. There was only one bed that could comfortably fit two people, but it’s really only appropriate for a couple, not two friends. The other sleeping options included a single twin bed and a small, makeshift mattress placed at the foot of the double bed. This setup was far from ideal and made the space feel cramped and unreasonable for four adults. The living room wasn’t much better, as the couches felt a bit dirty and worn, making it hard to relax. The overall cleanliness was below expectations, and while the kitchen was functional, it was nothing special. Additionally, the place felt quite overpriced for its value. It’s a walk-up on the third floor, which could be a hassle if you have a lot of luggage. The floors were loud and creaky, making it difficult to sleep if you're a light sleeper. Overall, it served its purpose, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a group of four adults or anyone seeking a comfortable and quiet stay.

Francesca is an exceptional host. The place was perfectly located, gorgeous, and her communication impeccable. We had less than a 5 minute walk to the tube, Kensington Gardens just a short walk away, and she gave excellent recommendations. Book this place and have peace of mind.

Great location
We have been to London on several occasions and this is our favorite area to stay in and our first time at this apartment. Check-in and check-out could not have been easier. The owner was quick to respond to questions. It was comfortable enough for the 3 of us but with a 4th adult I think it would be a bit tight. As indicated in other reviews, it is within walking distance of many stores, restaurants, Underground stations and things to see and do which makes the location wonderful. Our favorite restaurant is Ceru on Queensway right near the Queensway Station. We love walking in and through Kensington Gardens and the surrounding parks. The Albert Memorial is incredible. I was glad to read in another review that you can take the Elizabeth line to/from Heathrow Airport. I generally use Apple Maps and it did not show me this. I have since found that Google Maps does show it. It's a great in-between option. It's a lot less money than the Heathrow Express and doesn't take much longer. It's also almost twice as fast as taking the other Underground line that makes many stops. Some suggestions for things to see and do, especially if you like history, is The Temple Church (knights Templar) near Fleet Street, St. Bartholomew, Gordon's Wine Bar, plays and have a proper British afternoon tea. Also, visit Greenwich one day, especially the Market, Maritime Museum, Painted Hall and the Observatory.

Nice stay in a great neighborhood
The property is clean and comfortable for our family of four. The kitchen has everything we needed. We were very glad to have a clothes washer and drying rack. The only down side is that there are a lot of stairs to the flat, but you get used to it. The neighborhood is quiet but near great amenities on Queensway and convenient to several Tube lines.

Great location. Beautiful art
This 4th floor property was lovely and the location was great. Loved having coffee in the morning in front of the big windows looking out on Leinster Garden Road. Francesca was a perfect host and communication ideas great. The apartment is perfect for a single couple or family but the second bedroom is pretty small for a second adult couple but we were able to make it work for the two nights we were there. Overall great experience.

Perfect flat to explore all of London!
This flat is the ideal home away from to visit and explore the best of London. We could not be more pleased with the flat, the location, and our interactions with Vanessa. The apartment is close to two tube stops (Bayswater, Queensway) and just five minutes to Paddington Station. The Waitrose grocery store also 5-8 minutes away: Waitrose reminded us of the QFC stores that we have in the Pacific Northwest. We explored the nearby neighborhoods of Bayswater, Notting Hill, and the Portobello Market. Hyde Park and Kensington Palace are a leisurely walk away. You can also walk to the Victoria and Albert Museum (~ 30-minute walk) and enjoy the beauty of the park while heading over to the museum. We took tube/trains to Buckingham Palace, Windsor, Hampton Court, the Tower of London, the Sky Garden café, and the west end for a show. All transit options were convenient and easy to manage. We very much appreciated how easy Vanessa made the check in process. Communication with Vanessa was fantastic throughout the process from signing up for the rental to answering a few last-minute questions before our vacation. Being close to Paddington was convenient after our overnight flight to London: we ended up taking the Elizabeth line to Paddington when we arrived but took the Heathrow Express from Paddington back to Heathrow. The trip to and from Heathrow were quite easy to manage from Paddington. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Flat in Central London!
Everything about this stay was fantastic! The flat is conveniently located near Hyde Park, Nottinghill and Paddington. Just moments away from Bayswater and Queensway roads, there are two tube stations within a 5 minute walk from the flat, as well as numerous restaurants, shops, a grocery store and fabulous bakery all within easy walking distance. There are a couple of very nice neighborhood pubs as well where you can drop in for a pint or a bite to eat. The check in process couldn't have been easier and Francesca was very accommodating and allowed us to drop off our bags several hours before check in time. The flat is as pictured and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. I was traveling with my husband and our 20 year old daughter and the flat was the perfect size for us. There are several flights of stairs up to the flat so this would not be a good choice for someone with mobility issues. The common area/ staircases leading up to the flat are a little worn and could use some TLC, but the flat itself is lovely and extremely comfortable. If you are an art lover, you will enjoy the many lovely pictures throughout the flat! The area is very safe and we were never concerned even walking back from the tube later in the evening. We would definitely stay here again and this property gets 5 stars for location, appearance, comfort and ease of communication with the owner!

Wonderful Flat and solid location .
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful flat in London through VRBO, and I cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The communication with the owner was seamless and they were incredibly helpful in providing all the necessary information and ensuring that our stay was comfortable. The flat itself is simply stunning - immaculate and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you could possibly need. The location is perfect, right in the heart of London with easy access to all the major attractions and transport links. Despite being in such a central location, the flat is surprisingly quiet and peaceful, with a wonderful view of the city skyline. I particularly loved the attention to detail that the owner had put into making the flat feel like a home away from home - from the great art ( I believe the owner is an artist) to a nespresso machine with pods. Overall, I had a truly wonderful stay at this London flat and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable base from which to explore this amazing city. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Great London HQ!
Located in a great neighborhood with easy access to all of London. Tube stop 10 mins away on Queensway where there are many restaurants and shopping, and an easy 15 minute walk to Paddington Station where the Heathrow Express comes in (buy your tickets as one ways in each direction online, not round trip, at least 90 days in advance and they're dirt cheap). As indicated, the building is an old Victorian era structure, so expect some non-level floors and creaky floor boards. Be aware there are four flights of stairs, but bags slide down them easily on their sides when you leave. The flat is perfect for two or three people as the bed in the second bedroom is on the small size. The owner is wonderful. She is an artist, so the space is kitchy and ecclectic. She was a great resource and happily accommodated our need to drop bags and secure them due to a very early morning arrival and made it possible to come back later in the day to pick up the bags and keys to the flat. Thank you Francesca!!!!! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely offer flat in a fun neighborhood
My husband, daughter and i stayed here for a long weekend. 10 minute walk to tube station, close to great restaurants, parks and shops. Don't miss the Portabello road market. A hike up stairs to the flat with luggage to a clean and charming flat. Comfortable bed and the small bedroom was perfect for our 13 yr old. It was simple and worked well for our family's needs! If you don't want stairs and creaky slanted floors (charm) then you may not enjoy a much as we did. Very secure entrance and safe neighborhood.

A lovely flat in a great location for a London trip
The flat is in a beautiful part of London, a 15-20 min walk to station/tubes. Also easy to walk to shops and pubs/bars including Portobello Rd (25 mins walk) and to Hyde Park. We loved the flat itself - clean and stylish. A bit of decoration needed in places (especially the bathroom) but it was spotlessly clean so all good. Note that the bed in the small room is very small for 2 adults (it's really like a large single). Sleeping next to a friend was difficult as the top mattress kept slipping off and so you couldn't move around without disturbing the other person. It would've been ok if the bed had a frame so the mattress couldn't move across. I appreciate there's limitations on the room size. It was as expected though and certainly didn't affect our enjoyment of the trip. The living room is big with high ceilings and lovely views of trees outside the window. The flat is up two flights of stairs so might not suit people with mobility issues. Francesca was very friendly and helpful - thanks :-)
