The location, near the tube and grocery stores, was so convenient for our daily forays into the city. The aoartment was very comfortable, with fresh fruit, beverages in the fridge, and a well stocked kitchen. The host, Ricky, was responsive and helpful.

Great location and quiet! Perfect place to rest!

The location near earls court underground station was perfect. The apartment was quiet which is important when coping with jet lag. The beds are comfortable. The furnishings and decor are very basic. But the kitchen functions well. Overall, it was not a fancy apartment but it met our needs well. I would come again. Thank you.

Great location and very nice apartment

Great spot from which to explore London. This apartment is a great value in a good location. It is clean, week kept place and comfortably housed our family of 5 for a week. It does not have “high-end” finishes/furnishings, but at close to half the price of those that do, it’s a great value for those, like us, who are spending most of the time out and about in the city. Ricky was a very responsive and helpful host when we needed.

Well equipped apartment in quiet, excessive location

This was a great place for me, my husband and our adult kid to stay in London for several nights at the end of March. Check in and out were easy and seamless, we really appreciated being able to check in a bit earlier than check-in time. Ricky had kindly laid in some basic supplies so we did not need to buy some of the basics for just a few days. The apartment is a bit cluttered with mismatched pieces of furniture, fans, etc., but there is space to move around and store one’s stuff. Communication was good, though sometimes took a day or two to get an answer leading up to our stay. Replies were always helpful and courteous.Thanks for the use of the apartment!

Great place

Ricky’s place is a great place to stay, it is cozy, comfortable very clean and furnished with everything one needs for a home away from home. Ricky gave us detailed instructions which made it easy to find the flat and how to get in once inside the guest book was another detailed piece which helped us find restaurants, instructions for how to use the stove, washing machine, recycling.and so on. The beds were clean and comfortable one of the bedroom had a private bathroom. The flat and the neighborhood was quiete and very safe, The Earl underground was a 5 minutes away and took us every where we wanted to go including Heathrow. I recommend Ricky’s place and will return the next time I am in London

Spacious and Close to the Tube

My family of six were all very comfortable in this charming London flat. We found the location perfect- on a quintessential quiet column-lined British neighborhood, yet steps away from the bustling Tube station, shops and grocery stores. We ate several meals from the functional kitchen, at the spacious dining table. The flat was clean with plenty of room for our suitcases and hanging closet space. We appreciated the snacks after a long travel day. This was the perfect home base to see London. Highly recommend it! Just keep in mind that it is a quiet building, so be respectful to the neighbors 😀

It's out of 5 otherwise I'd rate it 6!

Property was lovely and quiet in an excellent location near earls Court station. Great for our arrival from Heathrow and travelling to Kensington Gardens and harrods and Albert hall. Lovely to have some unexpected kitchen supplies and brewed coffee with fresh milk. Maybe that was in the description but I was so relieved to just make a coffee after 30 hours travelling.

Lovely flat, convenient location

This 2 BR 2 BA flat is in a very convenient location, close to supermarkets, restaurants, transportation, etc. We really liked that it had 2 bathrooms. The lounge can be set up as a 3rd place to sleep, and has a door that can be closed. There is a short flight of stairs into the building, and another short flight to the flat (lift does not go there). Host is very responsive. Flat was very clean, kitchen is set up with most everything you need, and includes a dishwasher. Washer/dryer is a combo unit. We would definitely stay here again!

London visit

Location is great. Lots of little restaurants and close proximity to underground. A few suggestions: for four people, there is a need for adequate wine glasses, bowls, comfortable seating. Dining table is nice for games. Two bathrooms and two bedrooms were great. Directions to pick up key could be simplified for easier access. Upgrades on furniture would improve overall quality of the experience. Owner did not receive my communication via text, but we think that may have been a VRBO problem. VRBO map is not accurate. We adjusted, but that was confusing.

Short stay in London

Henry’s flat was in a perfect location, close to restaurants, grocery stores and the rail line. Henry responded quickly to any questions we had and was very helpful when we asked for transportation assistance. We had some trouble with the hall shower not working but made Henry aware of the issue. I’m sure he will take care of it promptly. If we are ever in London again, I would not hesitate to stay in Henry’s flat.

Lovely apartment close to trains

This is a lovely apartment in a nice neighborhood and close to public transportation and local restaurants. It is an easy walk to Kensington gardens and Royal Albert Hall. Ricky responded quickly when we could not locate keys in the designated location. Seems the cleaner did not leave them in promised spot. Once we found a phone number for Ricky, response came quickly and we were able to get into apt. The fridge was stocked with s number of beverages which was nice. Overall it was a pleasant stay as we toured London area.

Unsafe tub

It wasn’t as nice as I expected but the location was good. The big issue was the deep tub with no “non slip” mat on inside or outside. One of the guests fell and suffered significant injuries. There was no way we could stay. We contacted the host and he said we could checkout and get reimbursed. We returned the key the next day and made other/safer arrangements. Then, the host advised that we could not cancel and there would be no reimbursement. Very disappointed in the poor customer care. It’s soured me to future VRBO rentals because if this happened in a hotel I’m sure we wouldn’t have to fight for fair treatment. I continue to work to get reimbursed and hopefully all will be fairly handled.

Incredible location in a residential area

The absolute best aspect of this apartment is the location - in the heart of south Kensington, minutes from a tube station, walkable to museums & restaurants. Ricky was a great host, very quick communication. The place was also incredibly clean and we appreciated some home-like amenities you don't always find in European apartments like a washer/dryer, full kitchen, and two bathrooms. We had 4 adults + 3 kids and by the end of the week, we felt a a little cramped - I would say this apartment is perfect for two couples or one family. Also note that it's located in a residential apartment building so there may be maintenance or other normal apartment things (maintenance had to come in while we were staying there to check a leak for example) so if you're looking for a more "hotel" stay, this is more homey and lived-in which was great for us with kids. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Cozy flat, great location!

My 72 yo mom and I stayed at Ricky’s flat. The location was great & we felt very safe. The flat is a 1st floor flat with just a few steps, which was perfect for us. As an American, we had no idea how to use the oven, but I looked up the make and model online and it was just fine :) Everything was clean and we had all the supplies we could need for the stay. The portable air conditioner was great because we stayed during a bit of a heatwave. I would say this was a perfect location because the Earl’s court station was just a 5 minute walk away and the District and Piccadilly lines running from there got us everywhere we needed to go! A large Sainsbury’s grocery store was in one direction and Co-op and M&S Foodhall was near the tube station so we had quick easy options to grab anything we could need after long days of sightseeing. All communication with Ricky before our stay was fantastic, he answered quickly and made sure our arrival was smooth. If we come back to London, I would definitely stay here again!

Great flat, great location, great host!

What a lovely place to call home base in London. First, the flat is clean, spacious, quiet and great for families. The beds are very comfortable and having two bathrooms is excellent. The kitchen has everything you would need, including a washer/dryer. There are a couple of adaptors and lamps with USB for charging devices. The location is great. Very short walk to Earls Court underground which quickly gets you to Notting Hill, museums, and Victoria station for theater or bus tours. It's an easy to walk to grocery stores, Kensington/High Street, and the Earls Court area - all of which have good selection of restaurants, pubs, shopping. We enjoyed meals at Cleopatra, Dishoom, a couple of the local pubs, and The Muffin Man for a casual British 3-tier tea. Ricky was easy to communicate with, responded quickly, and we felt very welcomed when we found that he left us a huge platter of fruit and a selection of beverages. :) I highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again!
