Unfortunate Experience
We actually did not end up staying here. I filtered for 1 bedroom when I booked last fall. This flat popped up and it was listed as an 1 bedroom in the summary detail, and location was ok and pictures looked good. On arrival we discovered it was a studio, no bedroom. It was located in the back lower corner of the building with window looking out to a dark lower walkway. The pictures showed a bright spacious flat. It was dark, damp and there was paint peeling off the walls in places. I contacted the host to advise it was not as advertised and requested a refund. He was extraordinarily rude, stated I had not read the listing and under no circumstances was I getting a refund. I booked another place and tried to work with VRBO to address the situation and who ended up being no help. The listing was changed by the next day with studio noted in the listing detail. The host sent a very disrespectful email to VRBO about me which they sent on to me. It was evident VRBO is nothing more than a listing site. End of week I went back to the flat took pictures as evidence the flat was left in the exact condition as when we arrived.

Great Location
Michael was an excellent host, always quick with his responses and helpful. The location is ideal; quiet, close to public transportation, and shops. The only reason I didn’t give a five star overall review is because the apartment is in need of a paint touch up.

Great location , too small a space for long stays !
Location was fabulous , lots of good stores , eating establishments across from the park , walk to transportation was good! But last minute communication from host regarding being approached by tenants in the building was unnerving ! Murphy drop down bed challenging as you have to be tall to reach the strap to pull down there are No hydraulics , not conducive for elderly or people with physical challenges or disabilities.

Plum location
We loved our time here and any lack of space was well and truly compensated for with location. We walked to Buckingham Palace on our first day. So easy. The bed is comfortable and the flat pleasant, even in a London heatwave, albeit the fan got a good workout! Michael was an attentive host and prompt communicator. Thanks for everything.

Ok Apartment
This property is actually very small and the photos online are quite deceiving. When the bed is down there is very little room left to walk around and virtually no where to put suitcases. The furniture ie table/chairs/lounge is way too large for the room and should be downsized to give more space. It is quite dark as the apt is in the basement and therefore hardly any light comes in. The tube is a good 15-20 walk away. The key pick up is in the opposite direction to the tube therefore making it difficult to catch the tube to the apt prior to picking up the key. The apartment was clean and most things worked well. However a washing machine and dryer are advertised in the add, but there is no clothes dryer, only a clothes airer. It was ok overall, however I would not stay again in this location.

Comfortable apartment in great location
We had a really pleasant week staying in this comfortable bedsit apartment located very close to Kings Road Chelsea. The apartment is very well equipped, eg, cooking facilities, full size fridge and freezer, washing machine, spacious shower, comfortable bed. The pull down Murphy bed provides space when needed and a comfortable bed for night. We really appreciated having good bedside reading lamps, something often missing in rental accommodation. It is only a few minutes walk to Sth Kensington station which is on the Picadilly Line that goes to Heathrow, also on the Circle and District lines. Major museums such as V & A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum are all within an easy walking distance, close to Sth Kensington station. There is a Waitrose supermarket around the corner in Kings Rd and a M & S Foodhall a little further down Kings Rd. St Luke’s Church adjoins the neighbouring park and there is a lovely cafe located on the front veranda and in the church foyer. It sold the best value coffee and hot choc that we had in London. It is an easy walk along Kings Rd to Sloane Square and then over the bridge to Battersea Power Station. Communication with Michael the host was very easy and effective, the self check in worked well for us. In the past when visiting London we have stayed in hotels but we found this a much more pleasant option when visiting for a week. There are many dining out options quite close by. We highly recommend this apartment.

Kensington Flat
The flat we rented offered everything we needed for our stop in London. The flat was well appointed, clean, in a quiet, safe area and close to the underground, groceries and numerous pubs and shops. The host as very responsive to our questions and made check-in and out easy.

Great location. Friendly, responsive host.
The title states most of my review. The location for this property is excellent. The flat is cozy and comfortable. I was happy that it contained everything needed to cook and store food. Michael was responsive and nice during my booking and during my stay. I would recommend this location to adults looking to stay in a location with excellent access to public transportation.

Not quite perfect, but…
I’d give this apartment 4.5 stars if allowed. Overall I would recommend as a base to explore, but can’t give a perfect score. Given its smaller size it is probably best suited for a place to sleep/eat and not necessarily for hanging out. Attractive place to grab a nap after a busy day before heading to a local pub. As others have mentioned, the location to explore Chelsea is great…very near Kings Road and all it has to offer, yet somewhat ‘isolated’, across the street from St Luke’s church and park. Wonderful gems of pubs (including The Sydney Arms around the corner and The Surprise of Chelsea). Access to transportation ( bus, underground ) really good and a very short walk to the Thames and it’s riverside park ( Battersea) and access to the Uber river boat connecting to all of London’s sights. Communication with Michael was very fast and almost instantaneous. We’d stay again if back exploring London.
