Cozy property, we’ll equipped.

Overall really liked the ‘cottage’ which is more like a converted garage. Great location. Nice warm, comfy bed, well equipped with tea, coffee etc, the only thing that would have made it better was a pint of milk in the fridge!

Light and airy studio with brilliant host

The property is a great hideaway- tucked just around the corner from the bustle of the city and within easy reach of the overground station. It has plenty of light, with lots of storage space as well as a comfy sofa and the ingenious kitchen in a cupboard which included some thoughtful starter provisions. The spacious shower was also appreciated. Suna is a lovely and very welcoming host, and was incredibly helpful when we had a late request. We found the studio a little on the chilly side during a cold snap in mid-winter, but I’m sure it’s just right for just about any other time of the year. If you’re a light sleeper you might find the outside light disturbing when it’s triggered by movement (probably a prowling cat or urban fox), and there is a significant building site nearby that would preclude lazy sleep-ins (except on Sundays) but we were staying on business so it was not a problem for us. All in all highly recommended.

Kensington gem

This property is in a good neighborhood within walking distance to mass transit, great shopping and plenty of dining options. It makes a perfect base for exploring all London has to offer. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well outfitted for a short or long term stay. And Suna is an absolutely lovely host! She is always ready with fabulous local knowledge and recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Vacation

My hubby and I needed to visit family. Important for us: no stairs; completely outfitted with everything we needed; so easy to hop on a bus to High Street Kensington Tube Station, from there we could go anywhere. Our host, Suna was gracious and so kind. We would stay there again. Hubby says it’s an 11/10 stars.

Ruhig und Zentral, aber kalt!

Das Studio liegt zentral und trotzdem ruhig, wir haben gut geschlafen, trotz des nur 1,40 m breiten Bettes. Jedoch wird das Studio nur mit drei kleinen elektrischen Heizgeräten „erwärmt“, bei kalten Januar-Temperaturen definitiv zu kalt! Bis auf die Kälte waren wir sehr zufrieden. Sehr gemütliches Studio und eine sehr freundliche Vermieterin.

Wonderful Garden Cottage-Loved It All

What a great place to stay in London! We loved this sweet English garden cottage, perfect for two. Suna was so great to work with, thoughtful, kind and responsive. It is located in a vibrant area with easy access to restaurants, shops, cafes that are all very walkable. South Kensington, West Kensington, and Kensington (Olympia—not very frequent but very close) Underground are about 12-15 minute easy walk away. The cottage is located on a quiet, lovely mews. Inside you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay—a great bed, great shower (huge by European standards!), small dining table, couch and an amazing little kitchen that is so thoughtfully equipped, efficient and easy to use. And a French door opens to the sweetest little garden. Everything was very clean and up-to-date. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming Cottage with Convenient Location and Excellent Host

The cottage is incredibly charming, clean, quiet, and cozy. Its location is very convenient, with easy access to public transportation and within walking distance of Notting Hill. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in process was smooth. The host was also very flexible with our check-in and check-out times, which was extremely helpful.

A Lovely Cottage Getaway in the City

This cottage was the perfect home base for our week in London. Very conveniently located in Kensington— walking distance to many great shops & restaurants, and Hyde Park, but also to Olympia and West Kensington tube stations. The cottage is well equipped with a little kitchenette cupboard, including a fridge and hot top. Clean, easy to communicate with our hosts, and well priced! The bed in the cottage is a double, which was just a little squishy for us as a tall couple, but certainly not a complaint enough to deter us. would definitely stay again! Thanks so much, Suna & co!
