About this property

Our apartment is located in one of the finest streets of Kensington, within easy walking distance of Kensington Gardens, Notting Hill and Portobello market.

In the spring, the cherry blossom trees are amazingly beautiful and you can enjoy them from the balcony whilst sipping a glass of wine and having a few nibbles . Sitting out on the balcony is a great way to unwind after a hard day's site seeing or shopping with much to see and do on your doorstep and a number of Tube stations only a few minutes away.

We have tried to both keep the original features of the apartment (beautiful cornices, fireplace, origianl window shutters) and create a relaxing, modern feel to the place through our choice of colours, furniture and pictures. TV with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and a wide range of TV and radio channels, Wifi, and a selection of books, CDs and DVDs will hopefully also help you relax and unwind in the evening.

The main bedroom has a superking size bed which can be converted into two single beds if required. A comfortable kingsize sofa bed in the lounge can be quickly opened (with a hidden compartment to store blanket and pillows when not in use) and the apartment can therefore accommodate four people without difficulty.
In the summer, you will appreciate the efficient aiircon portable units.

Kensington Joy

A perfect "pied-a-terre" for exploring Kensington, Notting Hill, and beyond. The flat is perefectly proportioned and well designed and feels clean trendy and modern. It sits on a lovely street with no dodgy bits what so ever. I have been staying in Notting Hill and Kensington regulalry for 25 years, and this is my new favourite. Particulalry enjoyed the family run Italian close by called La Fortuna. I am a big fan of VRBO and this property is right up there !

Beautiful, comfortable flat bathed in sunlight

My daughter and I stayed in this apartment for 10 days. We enjoyed every moment. From the minute we arrived, there was someone to help us settle. Basic irems had been provided such as bread, milk tea and coffee and the owner answered all our queries very promptly and efficiently. We will be back.

Elegant Flat in amazing location - highly recommend

Stayed for 5 nights March 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed the amenities of the unit and it's very walkable location. Right away it felt like home and provided a relaxing and comfortable base. Can't say enough about Patricia's promptness in answering messages & organizing the flat so I could check in same day. She also kindly provided a bottle of wine, milk & juice. There are also coffee capsules for the Krups as well as dish detergent, laundry etc. The bed is very comfortable, quality linens & pillows and is at the back of the unit facing a courtyard/gardens. Quiet & perfect for sleep. Adequate storage space to unpack and store luggage. Kitchen & bathroom are modern & updated. Both stocked with basics. i.e. soap, shampoo.. Loved the heritage details of the moldings and high ceilings the unit feels very spacious. Enjoyed nearby restaurants: Candella Tea Room for tea & sweets, Kensington Wine Rooms all within 5 min walk. Easy walking access to Portobello Rd Market/Notting Hill. One day walked to Marylebone and Oxford street and back. Hyde & Holland parks around the corner, this is an excellent location to explore from. Westfield London Shopping Center also walkable or by bus . As mentioned in a previous review there are a couple flights of stairs to keep in mind given luggage situation. There was renovation activity at nearby properties, however it it silent on wknds & weekdays doesn't commence til 8AM or later. During our stay only a few of the flats in the building were occupied so it was extremely quiet. The front street is also quiet with minimal through traffic. Patricia is a wonderful host & her flat is exactly as stated & shown in an excellent location. Would definitely return. Thank you! :)

Absolutely charming little apartment in a perfect location .

We have just returned from a wonderful 10 days in Patricia's apartment . Very well appointed in a delightfully quiet tree lined street within a stones throw of Kensington Palace and all the fabulous places to eat in Nottinghill. and Kensington . Although cold when we arrived into London , in fact snowing which was truly gorgeous after arriving from an extremely hot Sydney ,,, the apartment was warm and cosy . Every day after our travels we would return to our warm place to sit and relax with a wine before deciding where we would go for our evening dinner . Definitely looking forward to returning in summer to see the tree lined street and enjoy a glass of Rose on the little terrace . An easy place to call home on your holiday to London !

About the host

Hosted by Gerard and Patricia

We have lived in London for over 30 years and we have 3 children, twin girls aged 29 and a boy aged 22.
We have a number of other properties in London and Paris and are delighted to welcome back many of our guests year after year.

Why they chose this property

We decided to buy this property because we always liked the street and thought that it would be an ideal base for us should we ever decide to move out of London.
As things turned out, we are still living in London , not far from Brunswick Gardens , which means we are well-placed to ensure that your stay is enjoyable and problem-free. We are also always available to answer any questions you may have before and during your stay.
