Great place. Good management. I would just fix so WiFi is accessible to back bedroom and office area.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you very much for your feedback. We had another feedback about the extender in the back bedroom. The owners have now adjusted the Wi-Fi extender future rentals. Regards, Destination London
We were two couples in the flat. It was roomy, clean, and comfortable. The location was ideal. We were able to walk to great museums, Hyde Park, Kensington Palace… Highly recommend this rental!

Hi Bridget, lovely review, thank you. We are pleased that you enjoyed our Queens Gate home. Thank you for recommending! Best wishes, Destination London
We had a great stay at Queens Gate Kensington. The location was ideal for Tube transport along with being within walking distance of many attractions. The flat was spacious and the host was very easy to work with. The beds are advertised as king size but appear to be queens. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this flat to others visiting London!

Jenna, thank you very much for reviewing your stay. We are pleased you had a great time and enjoyed the apartment. We have checked the bed sizes, they are indeed king beds. Kind regards, Destination London
Great apartment and even better neighborhood. No complaints! Minor comment would be that since it’s a basement apartment we did hear the people above at times.

Thank you for your feedback, Kenneth! We are delighted that you had a good stay and enjoyed the neighbourhood! Destination London
Quite lovely flat, well appointed, and well supplied in an area of London, South Kensington, we like a great deal. Fine restaurants and pubs nearby. Located close to major museums--Natural History and the V&A. Close to Underground stops. Close to grocers and other stores. Great area for city walking. We would definitely book the flat again if age and energy permits.

Hi Fred, many thanks for reviewing your stay at Queens Gate. We are very grateful. We would be delighted to have you stay with us again if age and energy permits :) Best wishes, Destination London
Rented this flat for a trip to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday in London with my farther, husband, and 9 year old daughter. The listing was accurate, flat was spotless, amenities were great, beds were comfortable, location was unbeatable! Communication was clear and timely. Greatly appreciated the heads up about the steps to basement flat. Wonderful trip at a wonderful rental!

Jessica, thank you for reviewing your stay with us! Kind Regards, Destination London
The property manager arranged a taxi for us from the airport. Cyril was very entertaining and saved us the challenge of finding the apartment after a long flight, and gave us our keys. The apartment met all the description details. The location is two blocks away from the Glouster Rd. tube station and the South Kensington station in the other direction. We never ate at the same restaurant ethnicity twice in the area, and enjoyed walking through the neighborhood exploring. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Dear Paul, thank you very much for reviewing your stay with us. We hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, Destination London
This is a wonderful place to stay in London. It is a very spacious flat, nicely appointed, and a terrific location. The beds are very nice, and there is plenty of light. The kitchen is small, but has everything, including a dishwasher (which is not always a given in these types of flats). We had very cold weather during our visit, and the heat worked perfectly.
We had a great week there and would definitely stay here again.
It is important to know that this is a basement flat and there are steep stairs down to the property. Our family had all ages and everyone managed it fine, but it might not work for some. You also need to meet any delivery folks at the street level, as they are confused how to find the flat (you do not go to the main door of the building).

Hello Debra,
Thank you for the review. We are pleased you enjoyed your time in London and the flat. Basement flats are always described as such because we know they are not for everyone. However, we have taken your specific advice in hand and will continue to add/ improve the property's intimate details for our guests. Looking forward to your next stay. Thank you very much.

Why they chose this property
Kensington is one of the most visited parts of London, and for good reason: it’s home to the Natural History, Science, and V&A museums. The main thoroughfare, Exhibition Road, is a lively and fitting route past the iconic institutions, up to Hyde Park and the Albert Memorial. There’s architectural splendour at nearly every turn, from the florid Italianate Brompton Oratory Catholic church to the iconic Royal Albert Hall. This distinctly elegant part of the capital also has a strong French accent thanks to the nearby Lycée Français and Institut Français, plus a sizeable student population (the Royal College of Art, Royal College of Music, Imperial College, and numerous language schools are all here) and lots of embassies. There are restaurants and hotels galore too, plus a self-styled 'design quarter' with a cluster of high-end shops.
