Holland Park, Kensington London – Spacious 1-Bedroom Flat for 2

We loved staying here. Maria rents out her flat when not there so you're staying in someone's home which was a little weird at first but we quickly got used to it. Two rooms are not available but the rest was very spacious and comfortable. Guest room and on-suite bath were a nice size, and bed was comfortable. There is a large living area with TV, a dining room and a kitchen with W/D, dishwasher, and full size fridge. I did not do any cooking but it looked to be well stocked with pans, appliances, etc.The location is GREAT for central London. It is less than a 10 minute walk from the flat to the Holland Park tube station which is on the Central Line. Nottinghill Gate and Portobello Road are less than a mile walk (or you can take the tube). Shephards Bush and Westfield shopping center are also a mile away. Super easy from LHR-take the Elizabeth line to Ealing Broadway and change to the Central Line. On either side of the Holland Park tube station are several grocery stores, 2 pubs, coffee shops and miscellaneous other stores. There is a wonderful French restaurant called Julie's on Portland Rd maybe 3 blocks off Holland Avenue.Maria checked with us before and during our stay to be sure we had everything we needed. Check in was easy as she left a key with the building's porter. And she responded very quickly when we had some questions upon arrival.I would highly recommend staying here-great location, comfortable, safe, and clean.

Maria’s apartment was a place to truely relax while on holiday. Felt like a home, a rare thing while travelling.Location fantastic, central, safe interesting.Maria was away while we were there.Thank you Maria 10 out of 10Sarah and John

The flat is even prettier than in the photos -full of light and airy and full of plants. The shower was modern and had excellent water pressure and the bedroom was full of closet space. It was so pleasant that we caught ourselves calling it home rather than the flat. We had excellent communication with Maria, who was flexible about our check in time and responsive when we texted with a question. The location is close to the Holland Park tube stop on the Central Line, and that got us everywhere we wanted to go easily. the immediate neighborhood has various restaurants, a pharmacy, several groceries and other useful places. There's even an entrance to the actual Holland Park nearby -for exercise or just feeding the birds and squirrels. We've come to London several times now and this is by far our favorite flat. We'll definitely look for it next time we plan to be in London!

Overall this property was exactly what we wanted. It was a good location for us. However we did pay a premium price without the everyday basics we have come to expect from a Virbo booking. There were no instructions on how to work the television. Throughout ore entire stay we had no hot water.
