About this property

Luxe apartment in Kensington Olympia. Sleeps 2 (One bedroom)

Chic one bedroom Victorian terraced apartment on quiet street, home from home feel, very close to Olympia Exhibition Hall, Holland Park, Kensington High Street. Heathrow in 25 mins. Central line access to central London. Free wifi, and a warm welcome. Available for longer lets at Kensington Property Management.

Maclise Road is a beautiful, light-filled first floor apartment forming part of an impressive Victorian house in the very popular ‘village’ of Brook Green in Kensington Olympia, within easy walking distance of High Street Kensington. The apartment features a beautiful sitting room with unusually high ceilings and windows– giving the apartment an impressively spacious feeling – beautiful cornicing, a lovely south facing balcony and wonderful old wooden floors. This property is a dedicated, professionally run holiday full-time rental business, and not someone's home. Though we have made it extremely homely!

The accommodation comprises of an open plan living room/kitchen with exceptionally high ceilings, bathroom and double bedroom. There is a private balcony to the front which is accessed through double doors from the living room. Maclise Road is a quiet residential street very close to the Olympia Exhibition Hall.

This spacious apartment has a large living room and separate kitchen area with additional seating. There is a well equipped modern kitchen with fridge, oven & hob, brand new cutlery and crockery, and full cooking equipment. There is a new TV in the sitting room with all freeview channels, and DVD. Also a Bowers & Wilkins ‘Zeppelin’ docking station and Wi-Fi broadband access.

Maclise Road has a beautifully proportioned bedroom with high ceilings and a king size bed (made by Loaf, one of the comfiest beds you will ever sleep on!) and plenty of storage space. The bathroom has modern bath and shower, and plenty of hot water. Beautiful White Company towels, and 400 thread count Egyptian bed linen are provided

There is security intercom access from the street below. The property is cleaned before and after your arrival and Ana the housekeeper cleaner is available for additional cleaning if required. There is also a washing machine, ironing board, and bicycle available at a Boris Bike stand just 40 yards away.

There is a plethora of local shops and pubs in Brook Green, and also a short walk away on High Street Kensington you will find a huge array of world class restaurants and big-name shops. The mega-mall at Westfield (the biggest in Europe) with its extensive retail, restaurant, leisure and transport facilities is also within easy walking distance. This area of West London is within easy reach of Heathrow Airport (20 mins by car or taxi). There are many nearby Tube stations for access to central London, and one of the best gastro pubs in London, the Havelock Tavern, is in close proximity.

We look forward to welcoming you to your home from home... check us out at Hugo at Kensington Property Management...and 'follow us' on the image sharing app...

Comfy Apartment in a Great Location

The apartment is in a great location--just a few minutes' walk from a tube station, and close to nice shops, pubs, and restaurants. In spite of the August heat in London, the apartment had a very nice, cool cross breeze. Communication with our hosts was seamless, and the check-in process was smooth--exactly as described. We're glad we chose this property for our visit, and will definitely stay again!

Kensington Olympia

We had a wonderful stay here at Kensington Olympia. It is a beautiful apartment with many amenities to make it feel like a home away from home, the balcony is also great. It was walking distance to many tourist attractions and the tube is just at the end of the street for longer journeys. We will stay again and we highly recommend! Many thanks.

Oasis

This is a sweet, comfortable, calm oasis from the chaos of downtown London … yet located for easy transportation to anywhere in the city. Communication with Hugo was a dream. Happy to give a 5-star rating. That being said, if you are of shorter stature, the bath stairs and tub may require extra caution (not a negative, just a heads up). Thanks Hugo and Eizabeth !!

Let the light in and stay like a local

We loved staying in this flat. There was so much light, it was in a great neighborhood and was quiet at night. We were able to get around quite easily on the tube. The walk to Shepherd’s Bush was ten minutes through the nice neighborhood with lovely architecture. The flat had plenty of space and having morning tea while reading the newspaper on the little veranda was heavenly. Just be mindful of the few (deep) steps into the bathroom. Communication with Lizzie and Hugo was seamless. It was very nicely appointed with a perfect combination of modern and traditional decor. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

Fantastic location, great apartment!

This apartment is in a really great location. It is located on a quiet street in a very nice neighbourhood. We definitely felt like locals while we stayed here! There are 2 major tube stations located an easy 10 minute walk from the apartment on opposite sides of the neighbourhood, and these two stations are the only ones you will need to get you to anywhere in London within 40 minutes. There is also an overground train station 2 minutes walk from the apartment, which was handy when we used it to get to Windsor Castle. There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants nearby, as well as a well-stocked Tesco Express just 3 minutes walk and a Tesco Superstore 7-10 minutes walk away. The apartment is on the 1st floor (North American 2nd floor) of a building, accessible by one set of stairs. We did not have any trouble getting our suitcases up to the apartment. The apartment is exactly as listed, and it was a very cozy and welcoming apartment to come home to after a long day of sightseeing and exploring. Even though we stayed during a heatwave, the apartment was a comfortable and cool temperature due to the large windows in the living room and bedroom. The bathroom was spacious and had the necessary linens available, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies and utensils. The owners communicated very well with me before, during, and after our stay, and were very friendly and accommodating to our late check-in. I would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family, and I definitely plan to stay here again if/when I visit London in the future!

Cosy retreat in Kensington Olympia

We thoroughly enjoyed the flat. It is well appointed and was very nice to come back to at the end of the day. There is a luxurious bath tub to soak in and a little front deck to eat breakfast on. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The area was quiet for sleeping at night. The tube stations are several blocks away but not too far. There is a bus that stops at Kensington Olympia as well. Hugo and Lizzie provided lots of good information about the flat and the area.

Just as pictured

If stylish surroundings are a must, then this property delivers. The photos accurately represent the flat. Creatively and cleverly designed with a touch of English whimsy, the flat is a comfortable London-base and retreat for all seasons. We were there during the heat wave and didn't pull out the fan as the thick-walled construction and the cross breezes kept the space lovely and cool. Soft natural light during the day, the pretty sconce lighting plan in the living room/kitchen space makes the room cosy and relaxing in the evening. The bed is very comfortable and the neighbourhood quiet, as is the building. And the flat was immaculate. It's a few minutes walk to the overground station and walking distance to Kensington High street and other underground and bus stops but we lazily planned our outings from the overground station. There are also a couple of corners shops where you can pick up milk or a bottle of wine. Hugo was easy to contact and very helpful.

Lovely elegant flat for London fun

We stayed at Hugo and Lizzie's flat for 9 days and had a wonderful time there. The place was immaculate, comfortable and very quiet. And dealing with Hugo was wonderful. We got a great info packet from him regarding many wonderful places to eat and go to...very well thought out and easy to understand. And the recommendations were spot on! We would definitely rent this flat again were we to go back.

Wonderful Property in Great Location

Highly recommend this property that is in a great location by bus, tub or taxi to all London attractions. On the same block there are restaurants, mini-grocery stores, and even a dry cleaner. An additional plus is the bike rental rack less than a block from the flat which you simply use a credit card to use at your leisure. It is an easy tub ride from the airport combined with either a short bus or taxi ride to the flat. Windows at both sides of the flat allow great air-flow and cool temperatures through-out the day. Kitchen is very well supplied with any cooking a guest would like to do. We had a great stay and will keep this property in mind for future visits to London.

Lovely renovation of apartment

This apartment has undergone an amazing redevelopment. New kitchen, bathroom, really lovely sitting room. One thing that attracted me as opposed to many other listings was the fact that this felt like home. The owner was there when we arrived and she was lovely! There was a detailed booklet letting us know instructions for everything and we didn't have to guess. All the beds were super comfortable with the king size bed and sofa bed, and beautiful bathroom) Around the corner is a great little general store and a fantastic wine shop and also a cafe and deli. Olympia is minutes away. We stumbled on a restaurant that had been open only a couple of days and wow, the food was stunning it's called the Havelock Tavern. The flat is really well located and it's easy to get around no matter if you use the tube, bus, Uber or Black cabs.

A home far from home

This flat was a perfect place for us in this beautiful city. It is situated in a little street, very silence! But there is all you need: nice flat, supermarkets, restaurants (Indian, Pubs or Fish and Chips - very good!), Bus stops and Underground stations. You need only 20 minutes to Heathrow and 30 minutes to Trafalgar Square. It was perfect! Thank you for all!

Tiny ants in the kitchen on the floor and counter.More comfortable seating for the living room. Difficult to take a shower without getting the floor wet. Bathroom needs a shower curtain! 2 sets of keys for when occupants separate. Dead bolt for the door-someone tried to get in.(wrong apt.)

This apartment was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The bed and sofa bed were both comfortable. Beautiful Holland Park was a 15 minute walk away. There were a few bus lines about 5 minutes away, including the 9 and 10 which are beautiful routes into the city. Great place to stay if you're looking for a quiet, classy neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

We always loved the fact Brook Green and Olympia have very cosy 'village' feels whilst still being in the heart of central London and with easy access to the rest of the city. There are two parks on our doorstep, Holland and Hyde parks, glorious in summer. You can walk to the heart of Kensington in 10 mins - so its very well positioned. It is fabulous for pubs and restaurants, very handy for tubes and trains ... and very easy for exiting London on the M4 or M40 motorways.
