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.

A Perfect Family Week in London!

We had a wonderful stay at this flat in London with our three kids. The space was lovely—spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better. Our kids especially loved the big windows, the elevator, and even the little routine of coming and going each day. Moe was a great communicator, and Mr. Elvis did a fantastic job keeping everything in top shape. It was exactly what we were hoping for—and even better in many ways. We’d definitely stay again. Thanks for everything!

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!

Moe and Elvis are great hosts. Very clean property well stocked kitchen. Quiet surroundings. A/C units cool down the property nicely. We enjoyed great paintings by Moe inside the property. Walking distance to Kensington gardens. Many restaurants and grocery shops in the Gloucester station area. Harrods is actually 23 minutes away by walking according to google maps.

Great location, ideal flat

This is a perfect location for exploring London. The neighborhood is upscale, safe, and conveniently located near underground stations and bus stops. You are usually 30 minutes or less from most of the prominent London sights when staying here. We took Uber rides to Hampton Court as well. The flat was very clean and had many conveniences. The washer/dryer unit was in good working order and we made good use of it almost daily. There is a drying rack in the utility closet for clothes that need to air dry. The Dyson cool fans allowed us to stay cool at night. Outdoor temps only reached 24C to 25C, but being on the upper floor of the building, the heat would rise and warm the flat. In addition, the morning sun hits the window in the sitting room and will warm the flat quickly. Opening windows on opposite sides of the flat would often draw in a nice cool breeze to lower the temps, but I don't like to sleep with open windows and would have had trouble if the fans were not present. There is a large water heater with plenty of water for four. There were instructions not to run both showers at once; I don't know if this was due to water pressure or some other reason, but we did not test it. The Nespresso machine was a nice touch, with pods provided. There are plenty of utensils and a functional dishwasher. A Waitrose grocer is an easy six minute walk away. Most our time was spent away from the flat, of course, but were always happy to come back at the end of the day.

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. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

A perfect holiday.

We loved our stay at this flat. From the tiny lift to get our overpacked suitcases up the stairs, to the comfort of the beds and the washing machine. We appreciated the modern showers and water pressure, as well as the natural light coming in the tall windows. We didn't have much time to watch TV, but the one night we stayed in and had dinner delivered - it was nice to have the option of a large smart TV! The only thing we might have wished for was additional towels, but we just washed the towels we had in the laundry machine's wash/dry quick cycle and we were all set! Plenty of space for 5 adults on a girl's trip! Great location, easy check in and check out. We will hopefully be back in the future. Thank you!

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.

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.

My flat is just five minutes walk from Gloucester Road and South Kensington Tube stations which are on the Circle, District and Piccadilly Lines (which serves Heathrow Airport). It is perfectly located for events at the Royal Albert Hall, V&A, Natural History Museum, Editor's Top Pick - Recommended
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.
