About this property

Sought after SOUTH KENSINGTON LUXURY sleeps 4

Ideally located between Gloucester Road Tube Station (1 minute walk) and South Kensington(2 min.) A newly refurbished, very quiet flat of 76m2 with open views onto Stanhope Gardens Square. Its a pretty Grade II listed building and the flat covers the entire floor (no noisy neighbours ). The pictures are not taken with special wide lens and I feel they speak for themselves. The flat was properly refurbished and decorated to high standard for my own children. Location is absolutely TOP.

Thank You Dear Susan, for taking the effort and writing this positive review . It was a true pleasure hosting you and your family. Also let me say in general - as on the VRBO site it is impossible to write a direct personal review for my guests - that it is a real pleasure hosting our absolutely lovely guests - mostly arriving from USA , Canada or Australia . Cheers !

Great property and great location. Everything was described as is in the description. The location to both train stations was great. My only add would be to have a second fan so each room could have one.

A very nice space from which to base your London explorations. Very spacious for 3-4 people (or a couple with kids), a full service and well-stocked kitchen along with washer/dryer.Super-convenient to market and a wide array of dining options close by (props to the Saturday market and Ceru at South Kensington) as well as transport options (two Tube stops a short walk away and bus stop across the street). V&A/Science/Natural History museums are a 5-10 minute walk.A very minor mention that this property is up a couple flights of stairs so it may not be optimal for persons with mobility issues (not a problem for us).

Angelika's home was lovely, clean and well-appointed. The location is fantastic, close to the Glouster Road station and walking distance from the V&A, Harrods, and Hyde Park. We were met by Angelika's representative when we arrived who was always available should we have any questions or need anything. We would absolutely recommend this apartment. Thank you Angelika!

Wonderful apartment full of character! The bedrooms were quiet with comfortable beds and pillows. It’s a third floor walk-up so be mindful if you’re a heavy packer! The property manager, Bill, was kind enough to meet us and give us help with our bags. We travel to London often and would stay here again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are small family with two children and a little dog. We have lived in London for 8 years and only recently moved to Vienna. We are not running a business out of this, but covering the considerable costs of maintaining a flat in the most expensive London district. I have bought and refurbished this flat for my own children and therefore it looks and feels like a real home and not some empty airbnb business flat. With its high ceilings and amazing free views it creates an atmosphere of space and calm which is rare in London. Location is absolutely TOP for touristic excursions.

Why they chose this property

Location is key in London - you do not want to waste too much time and money for complicated transport arrangements . South Kensington is one of the most upmarket and safest areas in London, meaning you can take the underground even late at night, and you will arrive home safely. You have all kinds of lovely cafes, bakeries , restaurants and supermarkets in the lovely neighbourhood - as well as two major tube stations with red double decker buses leaving from there in all london directions.
And of course all the Museums, Harrods, Kensington Palace , Royal Albert Hall, Kings Road and Hyde Park, ... .are all in very close walking distance.

What makes this property unique

High ceilings, free views from all windows over Gardens and towards Chelsea .
The flat is in a small, quiet Grade II (historical) listed building, and covers the entire floor - no direct neighbours, quiet bedrooms , brand new double glazed windows,
decorated to high standard and very cosy , no gas boiler as we use high output electrical panel heaters and ....: location, location, location .
