Maintenance not a priority

This was in a great location convenient to tube and shopping/dining. Because there is a consulate office/residence next door it has police present 24 hours outside. The apartment was spacious (bathrooms small as typical of urban areas in London). Maintenance of the building didn’t seem a priority so don’t necessarily expect the laundry amenities or showers that drain,etc. we ended up having to use a laundromat and it was a bit of a commute since the residences in this neighborhood all have laundry and there aren’t big hotels nearby. I really don’t think I would recommend this specific property just the location. If you do book you may want to mention that you are specifically booking because of laundry or AC amenities. Those were my main requirements other than the area being safe and convenient. We enjoyed our stay in Paris at Hotel Eiffel Turenne and our last night in London at the Standard (very convenient to the Eurostar train station and Londons biggest underground tube station with multiple lines). Don’t be filled by my name, I gave both of those hotels 5 stars 😉
This is a picture of the laundromat we were forced to use. Not a good experience because coin operated and no change machine or attendant in the evenings. Ironically when we got to Paris our hotel was right next to a modern laundromat 🤦‍♀️

Great location. Staff was great, even after we lost a set of keys. Unfortunately the dryer function on the dual washer/dryer unit didn’t work and we had to air dry a load. Also ran out of soap in the bathroom on the last day.

BAD BAD BAD. Don’t stay at this dirty place unless you want to get bitten by fleas. By day 3, we were covered in itchy bite marks that ruined our trip. Most things are broken and need to be replaced and they really need to deep clean and fumigate the place. We complained and while they were responsive, they cleaned it again, the problem didn’t go away (even after ‘deep cleaning’ it was still dusty) and when we asked for a refund, only offered a 5% discount, which is not acceptable imo. Location is great, but that’s it. I wouldn’t recommend.

nice area of town, apartment is limited

Overall the area of London was great and the flat was centrally located. The washing machine didnt dry the clothes and the AC in the unit was very minimal so we had to go purchae fans. Also, they didnt furnish hand towels so we had to go buy them as well. You have to call to have get new towels and they didnt offer a cleanign service so we had to take out trash and clean the unit.

A Lovely Place to Stay!

We loved this flat so much. It was very comfortable - beds were cozy, and we loved its close proximity to shops, the tube, and lots of restaurants. We restocked any items like toilet roll as needed, but loved having a full kitchen and laundry!

Really great location! Kensington high street is literally seconds from the doorstep. Nicely appointed appartement. Clean and modern. On the down-side, some of the furniture is a little tired (not the most comfortable sofa etc), kitchen isn’t very well stocked. This wasn’t a big deal for us. We would definitely stay again!

Great location, beautiful architecture, authentic London experience. On the negative side we got only one key and since apartment was on a fifth floor someone would have to go down the stairs to open the door and climb back to fifth floor without the elevator. Sofa bed is worn out and should be replaced.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE!

the place had bed-bugs. we had to run away once we found it. the bedrooms are tiny and most bedrooms had a fake window. the apartment is damp, some pictures are probably taken from a different apartment, since it was definitely not what we saw in our apartment. the paint is falling some of the walls. you cant even fit a suitcase in the bedrooms. the "management" of the place did not provide us a full refund, even though we immediately informed them of the problems. very disappointing.

I loved the idea of this place! The location is fantastic and the communication and check-in process went very well for us. However, the apartment is in serious need of a thorough cleaning. The living room furniture is filthy, the bathrooms were dirty, there was food under the kitchen table. Some of the cabinets are in need to repair.

We loved the location and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The apartment was very nice and clean. We had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so plenty of space for 3 of us. With a fridge, DW and washer/dryer it was well-equipped. My only suggestion would be to provide a box of tissues and a roll of paper towels. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

I found the property to be very stylish, warm and comfortable. The shower was amazing and the ktchen was well equipped with full appliances. Home from home. I could have easily stayed there for weeks as all my needs would have been met both inside and outside the appartment. A nice touch was the complementary Nespresso coffee and biscuits!

Exceptional service in an excellent location

Location was excellent, just 3 minutes away from shopping street and 5 minutes from underground. Parking under the apartment is not available if one has a car. We were in apartment 11 which was on the highest floor. Note that the lift only goes up to the floor before that - one would have to walk or carry their luggage up the stairs. The apartment is well equipped - detergents provided for dishwasher and washing machine, coffee machine, kettle. We wished that the beds were slightly bigger. Think it was smaller than standard queen. The couch and carpet were stained but apartment is otherwise clean. Service was exceptional. As our flight was in the evening and we stored our luggage there, the in charge that day (Merehan) also kindly allowed us to use an available apartment after our check out time to eat our packed meals and use the washroom before we head off to the airport. That was much appreciated as we have young kids with us.
