Luxurious Apartment in Kensington

Multiple disappointments Positive: We liked the location of the property to the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum along with quick walks to restaurants. The property itself is very nice and could have easily been a great stay if it wasn’t for all the disappointments we had. We liked that there was a gift basket of goodies and London travel sightseeing books in the kitchen. In addition, the kitchen had everything we needed and worked great. The rental management company was responsive when we were locked out and very kind when they had to meet us when we got locked out. Negative: There were multiple disappointments: 1/ The property advertises that there is a bunk bed, which the kids were looking forward to. This is no longer on the property and is now two separate twin beds. 2/ When we arrived there were multiple soiled towels in the tub, either left from the cleaning crew (if there was one), or perhaps left from the previous guests that were never washed. 3/ Broken clothes dryer, it turns on and runs but doesn’t actually dry after multiple hours and tries. 4/ Multiple light bulbs were out all over the property. 5/ Owners random stuff was all over the property in closets, shelves, drawers. 6/ Entry door to the building is a pain to get into. The shop owner, who we retrieved the keys from, said guests had been locked out before. We were locked out for 1.5 hour+ and the rental agency had to come help. 7/ Barely any clean towels to use. Unsure if the property itself had even been cleaned prior. Used shower soap bars left in bathroom. 8/ It should be noted that the house is 4 stories, so there are 4 flights of stairs inside the house. This is not noted in property description but should be in the event there are disabled or elderly who cannot climb that many stairs. In addition there are two flights of stairs from the entry of the building to get to the flat (total 6 flights). 9/ Only hair dryer in all 3 bathrooms is broken. 10/ No shampoo, conditioner or body wash but there was leftover laundry detergent and dishwashing pods.

Close to the tube, enough space for the group and overall a great stay.

A wonderful spacious flat!!! Positive: Excellent location close to the Underground Gloucester station and many restaurants! Negative: A microwave oven, but the oven and toaster oven did the trick, just not as quickly.

Below average experience in a very expensive apartment Positive: The number of rooms. The number of bathrooms. The location. The space. Negative: The property when we arrived was not clean, the people before us left some food in the fridge, dirty dishes in the sink and the coffee machine was very dirty. The beds are not comfortable, and the bedsheets were worn out. The dryer doesn’t dry anything, though that was one of the reasons we picked this location. The owners things were all over the property. Some of it was tidied up and some of it was very messy. Too much stairs.

Emplacement parfait, quartier agréable. On se sent vraiment vivre à l'anglaise. Positive: L'appartement est situé dans un quartier résidentiel, très proche du métro, ligne directe ou presque pour les visites de Londres et de Gloucester Road ou il y a des commerces et restaurants. Possibilité à pied de rejoindre le muséum d'histoire naturelle et rapidement Hyde park (métro). Belle surface, sur 3 étages. Cuisine équipée donnant sur la verdure. Salon trés agréable . On s'y sent comme chez soit. Équipement très complet. Coté chambre , une grande chambre avec 1 lit king size, salle de bain attenante, dressing. Parfaite 1 autre chambre, plus petite (trop encombrée coté meuble:)))), lit taille normale Au 3eme étage, un espace totalement dédié aux enfants (attention escalier il ne faut pas des enfants trop jeunes), avec lits superposés, un canapé lit, des jeux etc, tout pour passer un bon moment. Negative: A noter que l'espace enfant n'est pas fermé (comme une mezzanine) , il y a une fenêtre de toit non close, le jour est présent très tôt le matin (rideaux aux autres fenêtres état moyen), ce qui n'est pas très agréable. Dans le reste de l'appartement d'ailleurs, comme souvent dans les pays Anglo-Saxons, les rideaux laissent passer la lumière. Isolation phonique coté rue peu efficace.
