South Kensington. Superb light bright two double bedroom lower ground floor apartment. Key access to gated Gardens opposite the apartment.

WHEN BOOKING APARTMENT ALWAYS CHECK TUBE LINES. PICCADILLY FOR ALL THEATERS, DISTRICT AND CIRCLE FOR SHOPPING & SIGHTSEEING.
SO IMPORTANT!

49 BUS (4 min walk) TAKES YOU TO WESTFIELD'S MULTIMILLION POUND SHOPPING CENTRE PASSING KENSINGTON HIGH ST & HYDE PARK ON THE WAY

KITCHEN WITH OVEN AND CERAMIC HOB PLUS A NEW WET ROOM/WALK-IN SHOWER

ONLY 5 MINUTES WALK TO GLOUCESTER RD TUBE!!

SUPERB SAFE AREA WITH PRETTY GATED GARDEN OPPOSITE

WIFI IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS ALL THE UTILITY BILLS!!

ALL INCLUSIVE - NO EXTRAS

£300 damage deposit, returned if left as found

This quiet light bright two double bedroom property is located on the lower ground floor of a Victorian conversion.
The apartment consists of a comfortable spacious living room with feature skylights, MODERISED kitchen with integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, clothes-dryer, microwave, fridge oven & ceramic hob, toaster, kettle, cutlery, central heating etc.

There is also a TV and DVD player with miscellaneous CDs and DVDS as well as its own book collection, so you can curl up with a novel on cosy sofas after a day’s sight-seeing.

*The rental price is inclusive of all electricity and heating charges, council tax, towels, sheets and linen and also staples in the kitchen (tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper)*
Indeed this inclusive rate is unusual for a London apartment as most charge extra for taxes etc.
There are two compact double bedrooms with comfortable double beds. The wet room is new and it's fantastic!
The second bedroom is the bedroom I was using when the photographer came (hence slightly creased bedclothes!!) It also has a TV in this bedroom.
This room has a door leading to outside space. The outside space is small, but very useful for laundry purposes.

Bookings may begin on the afternoon of the departure date of a previous guest. However, if you have bags, you are welcome to drop them off earlier while the flat is being cleaned.

Access from Heathrow Airport couldn't be easier; take the tube directly to Gloucester Road on the Piccadilly Line, with no changes required. Takes about forty minutes. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express leaves every fifteen minutes to Victoria station which is fifteen minutes away by cab to the flat or 3 straight tube stops to Gloucester Rd tube.

Or we have a driver who will pick you up from Heathrow. His charges are:- £48 pick up from any terminal. £38 to drop off.

Location can not be beaten (check my reviews) with just a few minutes walking distance to Natural History Museum, V&A or catch a concert at the Albert Hall home to the Proms, the world’s great classical music festival.

Most important is the closeness to the tube with West-end theaters 15 mins tube ride. It's only a 5 minute walk to Hyde Park as well as Kensington High St.

I must stress that when staying in London, location, location and location is of the utmost importance and having 3 central tube lines will get you anywhere you need to get to in London without having to change lines.

Knightsbridge is close by with the famous Harrods, it's only a 5 minutes walk to Gloucester Rd tube.

The 49 bus (3 mins walk from the flat) takes you to the new billion pound shopping complex Westfield, passing Kensington High St on the way.

There are many international restaurants and bars in the area. Quality shopping at Waitrose and nearby Sainsburys supermarkets.
Check in 4pm - checkout 10am.

We will be on hand to meet and show you how everything works in the apartment. We will happily answer your questions and fulfil you requests in any way we can and can also hire you a car and driver to take you to and from the airport if required.

Great location - enjoyable stay

We stayed at this apartment for three days. The location is great - good restaurants close by. Hyde Park at the end of the road and easy walk to Gloucester Rd underground. There was enough room for the four of us adults and the apartment was good and clean. Communication from the owner was fantastic, reponse to our messages very promptly.

Spring Break in London

My two teens and I stayed here for four nights. Our trip was cut short due to circumstances outside our control, and Julie was great. She was very communicative and helpful. She also helped us connect with someone for transfers who was great! I wanted to make sure we were in a good, safe, quiet neighborhood. We could not have been happier. Close to the tube and markets and restaurants. Close to Museums and parks. We would certainly recommend Julie and her flat.

Kensington Gem

Glorious time in London. This apartment is ideally situated to access all the fabulous options London has to offer. The tube line had us anywhere we wanted in less than 30 minutes. Many options a 10-15 minute walk. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, out of the hustle and bustle of central London. Julie is a gracious and welcoming host, to her light filled well appointed apartment gem. The furniture, including beds, is very comfortable, the living areas all well proportioned. The bathroom and kitchen are also well-sized and fully stocked with essentials. Internet, television and climate control are easily accessed. Bonus is washer and dryer!Julie leaves detailed instructions and suggestions for your stay. She also provided option for a driver to customize transport if needed. Check in very easy.I’d stay here again and again! Definitely choose for your stay!

Quiet Stay

The place was very clean. All amenities listed were present and those used worked. Fantastic Neighborhood, very quiet. My two concerns. Steps down to the entry door are steep, narrow and make a 90 degree turn. Being in our 80's we could handle the stairs using the railing--but taking luggage up and down was a problem. Our Daughter was with us and handled the luggage. Both Queen size beds were against a wall (in different rooms) limiting access to one side and the bottom of the bed.

Location, Location, Location

Our family had an incredible stay at this property! This is by far the brightest basement apartment we've ever stayed in—lots of natural light, super comfortable beds, and a spacious common area where we could all relax and spread out. Julie, our host, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and her communication was quick and seamless. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s within walking distance of London’s most iconic attractions, and the neighborhood itself is charming with its stunning Victorian architecture and peaceful garden squares. Being so close to Gloucester Road Tube Station was a huge advantage. With access to the Circle, District, and Piccadilly lines, we could get anywhere in the city with ease. It’s also just a 10-minute ride to Paddington Station, where you can hop on the 15-minute express train to Heathrow—so convenient! There’s no shortage of great restaurants, cafés, and shops along Gloucester Road. If you have the chance, I highly recommend dining at The Ivy Chelsea Garden, which is just a 15-minute walk from the apartment—a wonderful experience!

Great stay for our family

We recently stayed in this London flat which fit our family of 4 great. The host was very responsive and the check in process was clear and simple. The location was fantastic, we found many great places to eat within walking distance, and the underground station is close too. Would recommend to check this place out if you are looking for a place to use as a home-base while you explore the city!

Great home base location!

This was a great home base for exploring London! What a perfect location! So easy to get to everything from there with public transportation. It was an easy walk to Kensington Gardens and the Natural History and Science Museums. Despite being a “basement” apartment, it was light and airy with all the skylights. The furniture was comfortable. The place was clean and everything was easy to use. We enjoyed our stay.

Good location but…

There were definitely positives and negatives to staying at this flat. The positives: the flat is in an excellent location, a 5 minute walk from Leicester Square tube station and close to Kensington high street. It’s easy walking distance to Kensington Park and Natural History Museum and the tube station gets you to other tourist attractions in less than 30 minutes. The flat is bright with high ceilings and skylights in every room. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Washer and dryer were a bonus. The negatives: although the flat has lots of skylights, there are no windows that open. We found the space to be very damp and had a hard time getting our towels to dry. The bathroom has a very large window in the shower which was covered by a mouldy roller blind. The blind was so mouldy that we didn’t want to be near it when showering. Checkout instructions were not overtly clear (be sure to read the whole check in email for check out instructions) and we accidentally left all sets of keys on the table instead of returning one of them to the lockbox. This cost us our full damage deposit.

Fantastic Stay

Our group of four (two couples) really enjoyed this little flat. Exactly as described in the listing: nice neighborhood, short walk to the underground station, lots of restaurant options nearby. No problems during our stay--had everything we needed, host kept us well-informed and was very responsive. Happily let us stay a few extra hours after our flight was delayed as well. I would be very happy to stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
I live in N. Ireland with my husband and have been letting property since 1976. I lived in London before I married so it's always a good excuse to come back when reletting the apartment.
I have twin girls of 33 - Claire is married and teaches A level maths. Kate is also married and is a primary school teacher. Prior to this Kate pioneered a charity in Uganda for 5 years sponsoring street children called Tomorow's Heros now renamed Freedom Heroes.

Why they chose this property

I love this property because of the location as it is just so close to everything and has a real buzz to the area.
It feels very light and airy.
I also still have friends in this area.

What makes this property unique

It is much quieter than most London flats as it's a REAR lower ground floor flat and not underneath the building. That is why it's so light because it is not in the basement as such. This can be seen in the photos.
