About this property

Perfect Home in the Heart of Kensington/Unbeatable Location

Beautifully finished two bedroom & two bathrooms apartment which sits on the second floor on Queen’s Gate in South Kensington.

The most elegant residential street of white stucco houses, conveniently situated a 5 minutes from the tube stations of South Kensington and Gloucester Road and close to Hyde Park.

The open plan living and dining room is spacious with view towards the Natural History Museum where not a single building blocks the view, with its large sash windows it is bright, benefiting from being on the second floor of the building.

There is a huge Walter Knoll sofa, a wooden table Leo Saarinen table big enough to seat six people comfortably and a custom made coffee table with in-built embedded white pearl.

The modern kitchen is fitted with all the amenities you'll need to dine in when not enjoying the fantastic selection of restaurants in the vicinity. These include microwave, oven, hobs and complete sets of cutlery, crockery, glasses and decanter.

The master bedroom has a Super king-sized bed (with comfortable memory foam mattress). It’s sash windows, looking out to the back of the apartment offer, great views of the roof-tops and tree-tops in the surrounding area.

The second bedroom features two single beds and two high end wooden custom made side tables.

The bathrooms offers a bath with fully functional shower units and a heated towel rail.

Bed linen are white cotton and towels are high end to help create a luxury boutique hotel feeling.

The property is located on Queen’s Gate, extremely close to Hyde Park (4 minutes’ walk).
It is a 5 minutes walk to South Kensington or Gloucester Rd tube stations, which serve the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines giving very easy access to the rest of London.

For example, from South Kensington station, Knightsbridge (Harrods, Harvey Nichols) is one stop away, Notting Hill Gate, Green Park (Mayfair, Ritz) and Westminster (Big Ben) are only 3 stations away.

The heart of Chelsea and the trendy Old Brompton road and King's Road are a short walk away and the local area is served by many shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.

For culture, the museums of South Kensington Victoria & Albert, Natural History and Science are less than a 2 minute stroll- Royal Albert Hall in 5 min away walking distance. You're also just a couple of minutes from bus routes to Piccadilly, Oxford Street and the West End with its theaters and the Royal Opera House at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden.

Please note that the entry to the apartment is on the Second floor of a beautiful Georgian stucco building (Lift is available).

The flat has a 75 inch Television.

Great flat in a fabulous location

We were in London for a wedding and booked Moe's flat for our stay. From the start communication was great and he was immediately available to answer any questions during our stay. London is so busy and crowded these days and location can play a huge part in what you can see and do and his flat was in an ideal spot close to tube stops and a number of museums. I'd highly recommend this vacation rental!

Wonderful Flat

Great location and perfect flat for our family of four. Central enough with a quick walk to the underground but quiet during the evening so our kids could sleep well throughout the night. Great communication with our host. We appreciate the hospitality and would without a doubt stay again if we find our selves in London in the future.

Lovely flat in an excellent part of town! Quick walk to underground and Kensington shopping! Kitchen was really well-equipped and we very much appreciated coffee, soap, etc. Also much appreciated were the doors stops and the little safe! Washer worked well and drying closet was perfect.

Great stay in Kensington

We rented this property for a month and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment was very nice- as advertised and the location was great. The owner/manager were great and responded quickly to the few minor issues we had- even to the point of buying new box springs for the secondary bedroom when we mentioned that it was not very comfortable. Mostly we had just 2 of us but it also worked will with another couple as guests for part of our stay.

Wonder setting, convenient location.

Moe could not have been more hospitable. The loft has all that you need, and Moe was prompt to answer whatever questions we may have had. His advice was spot on, and we enjoyed dining in the places he suggested. We can only hope the rest of our travels in Europe are just as pleasant!

Why they chose this property

The Flat is fantastically located just seconds from the Natural History Museum, Imperial College and in the heart of Museum district.

Royal College of Art, Brompton Oratory, Serpentine Gallery , Editor's Top Pick - Recommended as well as shopping in Kensington and Chelsea.

What makes this property unique

An amazing location, being able to see one of the greatest museums and buildings in London from your living room truly is a rare privilege.

You can even use a little balcony to sit outside and sip from a glass of wine while you watch the world passing by at a fast pace.

Not only it's an extremely convenient location but it’s also a very quintessentially beautiful street and building. You can feel nobility the moment you enter and there is no doubt those high ceilings and large areas provide a rare sense of space in London.

The furniture is made of beautiful (and some custom made) design classical pieces, this is when it starts getting luxurious, the main bed is also bigger than the average and they all have an incredible feel to it.

The entertainment is fantastic and the kitchen comes with all the modern appliances you might need. It’s a complete apartment and there are many special aspects to it.
