Location was very good for getting around London. Conveniences, such as restaurants and grocery stores were within a few minutes walk. Apartment was well-stocked with necessities, especially dishware , silverware and kitchen implements.

Love this place .. basically on Hyde park and 2 good stations

The apartment was just as it looks in the pics. Cute, clean and right off of Kensington Gardens/Park. Once we acclimated to the area, it was even more appreciated. The lift was a plus. There were folks cleaning the common space just about everyday.

The hosts tried to have all of the basic needs covered. The emails they send ahead of time were great, and he even answered questions on further recommendations.

There are plenty of markets, and we especially appreciated getting a few items at the Organic store right across the street. The bakery on Queensway was the best! Coffee, croissants and amazing pure OJ!

The decor was simple and appealing. Loved your recessed lighting! The washer is a big plus. Nespresso maching was a nice touch.

My few recommendations would be to get some new towels, and also add a few washcloths to the mix. I would also add a frying/sauté pan, was the only size missing. Other than that, everything we needed was available in the apartment.

I would say the price/value ratio was right on target. We enjoyed our time in the flat, and will recommend it to others that plan a trip to London. We would certainly stay here again.

Cheers!

My husband and I stayed in Rafael's apartment for part of our honeymoon, and we couldn't be more happy that we did! Rafael was incredibly quick with communications, helpful, and offered wonderful suggestions for restaurants and attractions nearby.

The apartment building was easy to access from a main road, and just a few feet from the building's entrance is a Starbucks which we went to on a few mornings.

Checking in was incredibly easy. When we got to the apartment, we rang the buzzer for the room and were let in by Rafael's associate. She greeted us warmly, showed us what we needed to know about where things were, and asked if we had any questions. She even showed us a bottle of wine and chocolates Rafael had left us since he heard it was our honeymoon. Super generous!

After that we started to settle in and unpack. The living room is spacious, with good light from the window, an easy to use TV, and a nicely sized dining room table. The kitchen is small, but exactly what you would want! There is washer/dryer, a dishwasher, etc., and also a Nespresso machine. Rafael was kind enough to leave us a lot of Nespresso pods, so we used that for our coffee fix most mornings. The bathroom is pretty spacious with a good-sized shower with nice water pressure. The bedroom is also very spacious with a television and more closet space than we could ever fill! Everything was incredibly clean, homey, and well thought out.

The location of the apartment is wonderful. Directly around the apartment are a few grocery stores and more chain/commercial restaurants. If you go in one direction, you immediately hit Kensington Park, which made for some beautiful walks for us. If you go in the other direction, you start to move out of the commercial restaurants and can find some really unique ones (we like Farmacy). We loved exploring around this place!

The best part about the location of the apartment is that it is in between two different Tube stops, which serve two different lines. This made getting around London incredibly easy for us.

We loved staying here and would absolutely love to come back! Rafael is one of those hosts who make you feel welcome in a new country and new place.
