About this property

Beautiful Studio Flat Near Kensington Palace

A studio is in a nice area next to Kensington Gardens, 7 minute walk to Kensington Palace. Although it is in basement of a Georgian house, there is enough light and when it is sunny outside, it is quite bright. It was completely re-done three years ago and has all the modern facilities, including Wi-Fi, washing and drying machines, dishwasher, etc. The studio’s size is approximately 27 square meters.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, a freezer, a kettle, a Nespresso coffee machine, cooking pans, cutlery and crockery.
A separate bathroom has a shower. It is simple and modern.
There is a Anglican church in front of the house and if you don't mind, you'll be woken up every morning by the church bells that start chiming at 8:45am and strike every 15 minutes until 10pm.
The room has a King size bed with a memory foam mattress (180x200 cm that corresponds to 6'' bed). All the bedlinen and towels are included in the price.
There are 3 underground stations around, all 5-7 minutes to walk to depending how quickly you walk. The nearest will be Bayswater, then Queensway and Notting Hill. Walking across the park, you'll find youself at the Royal Albert Hall and near Exhibition Road with 3 great museums: V&A, Science and Natural History. There is a bicycle rent stop next to my place and another one just at the entrance to the park, if you prefer to explore London by bike.

Anniversary Trip

This location is perfect if you want to feel like you’re out of the city (which you’re not) but only a few steps away from major transportation hubs. My husband and I traveled from the US and the contact for the apartment was extremely helpful and accommodating. It was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Coronation stay

Lovely little basement flat in Bayswater. It has a lovely double bed, plenty of storage space in both bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and excellent having a washer and dryer - we got soaked on Coronation day. The flat is very warm, you can open the window and there is a fan. A lovely stay.

Superb location and lovely apartment! We would certainly recommend it and stay again, hopefully soon

This is a superb property in a fantastic location. The apartment has everything you could need and more even underfloor heating, it is finished to a high standard and spacious! Kensington Palace gardens, Hyde Park, and Underground stations are a 5 minute walk yet the apartment is on a lovely street full of character. It is a great place and the communication from the owner was superb too. *****

Recently remodeled flat

This last minute rental was recently remodeled. It is a basement efficiency with a very nice kitchen and bath. It has a comfortable bed and lots of storage. It also had good wifi and security. I enjoyed my stay here as the location was close to underground stations, and I would stay here again.

Lovely Stay

Most basement apartments face the street with people walking by. This flat is set back in a garden, so it was far more private. Despite its central location, the neighborhood is very peaceful (the church bells stop tolling at 22:30) There was a fully-fitted kitchen (stocked with a few goods--thank you!) and not only a washer but also a tumble dryer, a rare find in a UK rental. The bath had heated floors, a heated towel rack, and tons of storage. The bed was comfortable. High on our wish list would be a larger comforter (too small for the mattress) and the hairdryer only produced scorching heat. Yes the sitting area is small and the stairs are steep, but this was just our home base. There are two Tube stations (3 lines) only 5 minutes away, which is transportation gold in London! Kensington Gardens is less than a 5 minute walk away. Elena was always quick to reply to any questions. We loved our stay here and found it to be an ideal place from which to explore all that London has to offer.

Lovely apartment. Excellent location. The only challenge was getting our extra heavy suitcases down and up the stairs. Otherwise perfect for our needs. I would stay there again and pack light. Thank you!

Accessibility Issues

We arrived after dark, with key code we were able to open the locked gate, tip toe around the large plant on the landing, then saw to our horror the steep unlit metal steps down to the basement apartment. It was also wet out making the descent with suitcases in hand all the more treacherous. Flat was clean and tidy, it took awhile to find the kitchen which had a teapot and a washer and dryer, microwave, hob, odd assortment of glassware. The bathroom was clean as well but the shower tray was a tricky tilt-a-whirl to balance on. And it didn't drain.The seating shown in the photo is all there is.There was a note attached to the front door asking residents to turn off the porch light which we did but found dangerous as winter in London gets dark early. Got the stink eye from a couple of neighbors who saw us quietly coming and going. If you are young and agile with little luggage this is the place for you.

Love the Kensington area!

Great place to stay in the heart of London. Less than five minutes from the Bayswater tube station to get you around the city. Bed was huge! Very comfortable after a long day of walking and exploring the city. Host was very communicative and easy to get in touch with if needed. Best amenity was access to a washer and dryer during my trip; life-saver for light travel!

Dynamic Neighbourhood

All kinds of restaurants near this property, as well as grocery stores, two tube stations everything you need is close walking distance! The suite was cute and quirky, but there are steep stairs leading down to the unit. Despite being in the basement the suite got natural light from the window. We enjoyed staying here very much

Perfect Flat in a perfect location

This flat was a perfect location for my wife and me to tour London for four days. It’s bright, clean and quiet. Easy to get to public transportation and there are many restaurant locations close to the flat. Having the washer and dryer was ideal since we had just spent a week in Scotland. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to Notting Hill. We would definitely return

Very convenient location

This property is in an excellent position for the tube station, supermarkets, things to do and places to eat. It is a stylish flat in a beautiful building, quiet and bright, enough space for a couple for several nights and well appointed with very high end appliances. The host is generous, leaving juice, milk and a couple of bags of crisps, there was also tea and coffee pods which we appreciated. There was a generous number of TP rolls and shampoo and shower gel too. ONLY downsides were the shower which tended to let a lot of water out but not too hard to deal with and the bed which had two very definite indentations, meaning that as long as you stayed in your particular groove you were fine and we actually slept very well! It wasnt lumpy or springy so by no means the worst we have had in several months of travel but probably time for replacement. TBH the position is so good and the rest of it pretty great so overall we would rebook if in London again.

Well appointed and equiped. Great location with lots of pubs and restaurants and close to 2 subway lines. More detailed 3 key criteria: bed was very comfortable, shower was great (though hot water seemed limited so if you like a steaming hot shower this might be an issue)

Unfortunate Stay

We never got the stove to work despite repeatedly asking the host to explain how to turn it on. She apologized that the handyman was on vacation so no one turned up to help. There was no explanation for operating the coffee machine, which we couldn't get to work. There was no salt in the kitchen, no potholder, the bedside lights didn't work. In was in a nice neighborhood but all in all, a big disappointment.
