Nice, clean and comfortable

Easy to find and easy to check in. The apartment is well equipped and had everything we need. Only negative, and very minor negative, was the 15 minute walk to the underground. Buses were closer but when mapping locations it was faster to walk and take the metro.

Kensington gem

This property is in a good neighborhood within walking distance to mass transit, great shopping and plenty of dining options. It makes a perfect base for exploring all London has to offer. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well outfitted for a short or long term stay. And Suna is an absolutely lovely host! She is always ready with fabulous local knowledge and recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect stay for 5 nights in London

The location and type of accommodation was just perfect for us visiting London for the marathon. The accommodation is a few minutes walk from the train station so we found it very easy to plan our journeys everyday. The property surrounding area is away from traffic and has easy access from a quiet lane. The apartment space is generous light and airy with plenty of storage space and comfortable furniture. The property owners checked on us and ensured we had everything we needed. We traveled from Cornwall to London to take part in the marathon and we couldn’t have been more relaxed with the pressures of running a marathon than staying here. Once at the train station we were soon anywhere we needed to be. We will return to stay again when we next visit London.

Perfect Vacation

My hubby and I needed to visit family. Important for us: no stairs; completely outfitted with everything we needed; so easy to hop on a bus to High Street Kensington Tube Station, from there we could go anywhere. Our host, Suna was gracious and so kind. We would stay there again. Hubby says it’s an 11/10 stars.

London hideaway

We stayed 5 nights at the Kensington Garden cottage and very much enjoyed our time there. The apartment is bright and clean and is thoughtfully appointed with a comfortable sofa, efficient kitchenette, a hanging closet and ample drawers for clothing.

What a lovely studio in a great neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we had booked longer. The bed was super comfy and the unit had everything we needed. The host was extremely responsive! The neighborhood was walkable with a market, tube stations and Kensington High Street close by. We hope to be back soon!

The cottage was perfect for just the 2 of us. It had everything we needed and was very clean. The location couldn’t have been better as we were within a half mile walk of several underground stations and there were many restaurants just a short walk from the cottage. The hosts were very kind and helpful.

Wonderful Garden Cottage-Loved It All

What a great place to stay in London! We loved this sweet English garden cottage, perfect for two. Suna was so great to work with, thoughtful, kind and responsive. It is located in a vibrant area with easy access to restaurants, shops, cafes that are all very walkable. South Kensington, West Kensington, and Kensington (Olympia—not very frequent but very close) Underground are about 12-15 minute easy walk away. The cottage is located on a quiet, lovely mews. Inside you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay—a great bed, great shower (huge by European standards!), small dining table, couch and an amazing little kitchen that is so thoughtfully equipped, efficient and easy to use. And a French door opens to the sweetest little garden. Everything was very clean and up-to-date. We’ll definitely be back!

Great Stay

We stayed at Suna’s place for six weeks so had a number of questions prior to booking. Suna was amazing at quickly answering all of my questions. Great communication continued throughout our stay and she and her husband couldn’t have been kinder. Suna’s place was clean and great value for money. We felt very safe and it was so nice not having stairs or upstairs or downstairs neighbors and being on a quiet alleyway. The cottage is very near Kensington Olympia Station. Download the Citymapper app and it will tell you your options for using the station. Very convenient. There are also great bus options right by the cottage. Other reviewers commented that internet was slow. This was absolutely not the case. The internet was great. Some reviewers also commented on the heat. We were there during some very cold weather in January and the two space heaters kept the cottage comfortable. Be sure to check out the amazing Scarsdale Tavern that is about a ten minute walk away.
