Extremely comfortable apartment in a wonderful location for shopping and seeing the city. Great welcome and wonderfully responsive host - highly recommend!
A very liveable and attractive apartment wonderfully located! Near transportation, good restaurants, neighborhood food stores, plenty of shopping and a lovely neighborhood to explore. Road construction blocked our street much of our stay, but I assume that was temporary. A Place Like Home staff were responsive to our few requests. We were very happy with this flat!
The flat is simply adorable. Spacious, conveniently located on first floor walk up. Quiet upscale neighborhood in walking distance to a charming little street filled with a butcher, cheese shop, bread shop, wine shop, general store and a restaurants. The lighting in the flat is amazing. Two bathrooms as well. The pillows and mattress might need updating (a bit firm for my taste) but it’s a very beautiful apartment one can instantly feel at home in. The staff were very responsive to every question, even after hours. Really great find!!!
We had a lovely 10 days in the flat at Draycott Place. However, some things need attention. A couch had broken springs and the overhead shower rose in the bathroom was broken. Additionally the kitchen utensils and crockery were past their best and not organized. They just didn’t come up to the standard we expected from a place of this class. The flat is spacious, quiet and is in a fantastic location in the heart of Chelsea. Overall if more attention was paid to these things it could be rated as excellent.
The apartment is VERY well-appointed and well-maintained. The furnishings are comfortable, serviceable, and high quality. With two bureaus, shelves, and closet spaces in the bedroom, there is PLENTY of room to unpack and store your clothes if you wish. The kitchen has modern tea kettle, coffee pot, dishwasher, and clean fridge, This helped us have quick, affordable breakfasts before we went out for the day. Also, it was helpful that there were two bathrooms in the apartment to get ready quickly in the evening in time for shows and dinner reservations. Really, the only drawback, for us, had to do with the fact that my mom is in a wheelchair, so some accessibility issues came up. Specifically, the apartment is located on the second floor (there is not lift) and the bedroom is on a different level than the rest of the rooms. In addition, the bathroom had a tub (as opposed to a walk-in shower. Thus, accessibility was a little challenging, but certainly possible. If there are no accessibility issues for anyone in your group, the apartment is fabulous. We also happened to stay during the four-day heat wave in London, so the apartment was a bit warmer than I think it would normally be. However, there were fans in the living room and bedroom, and they helped. For the price, and central location near great shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. It was a WONDERFUL space to come back to every evening after long days of sightseeing, dining, and entertainment.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted you enjoyed the apartment, its location, and amenities. We also appreciate your feedback on accessibility and hope the fans helped during the unusually warm weather. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we'd love to welcome you back.
The flat is extremely comfortable, incredibly well situated in Chelsea (surrounded by shops, restaurants, charm), the check-in process was a dream, and the communication with management/host was terrific. Highest recommendation. I hope to return soon.
