About this apartment rental
We are located on Abingdon Road, London W8, one of London's premier addresses, and near neighbours to William & Kate (and George, Charlotte and Louis) who have moved in down the road. Abingdon Road is a peaceful and quiet street despite being minutes from the centre of things.
If you do not know London well, the old mantra of 'Location, Location, Location' means a great deal in this city. Also look carefully at the size of your rental. Spending a week in a tiny studio apartment or even a small one-bedder can prove to be a little miserable. We are fortunate in being able to offer our guests much more room than most, plus a gorgeous terrace.
We attach great store to what our guests tell us. In fact we are fortunate to have many reviews left by our guests.
We are proud of our apartment; and want you to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible, so we have tried to think of everything. The apartment is located one up from ground and is the entire floor of a converted Victorian house. There is no elevator, but the 15 or so stairs are not taxing.
We have a comfortable UK king size bed (150x200cm) with a luxurious Hypnos mattress and we believe in providing the finest Egyptian cotton sheets, which get many a favourable comment from our guests. The bedroom faces the gardens at the rear to ensure that even the lightest sleepers get a good night's sleep.
We have some great local restaurants (check out The Abingdon and W8 Kitchen) and a range of excellent supermarkets within a few minutes walk (Waitrose, Whole Foods etc).
You can also easily walk to High Street Kensington underground station (about 7 mins), the Royal Holland & Hyde Parks, Marks and Spencer, Kensington Palace, or just about any store that you might need.
We are also conveniently located for the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, the Albert Hall, the National Gallery and the principal sites of London (Buckingham Palace, the Eye, Theatres, The Tate, The Thames Walk etc).
London's newest museum, the Design Museum, is a short walk from our apartment - with 10,000 square feet of spectacular space and a permanent collection (to which entry is free) of over 1,000 objects in a wide variety of exhibits from the world of architecture and design.
As a result most of our guests are regular visitors, often people who are staying for longer and find regular holiday apartments too confined. We are also very popular with honeymoon couples.
Wherever possible we provide a personal check-in so that we can orientate you to the area and help you plan the best way to make the most of your stay. And if you need us, we are at the end of a phone.
Our conservatory has blackout blinds the bathroom features a fabulous overhead rain shower. We also have a flat screen TV and a desk full of London guides and information.
You may have heard that London has a cycle hire scheme - a great way to get around the centre (just ask Arnold Schwartzenegger) – and we have three docking stations within a couple of minutes walk
Plus we can help with cars from the airport, theatre bookings and restaurants etc.
We very much look forward to welcoming you and making your stay in London as comfortable as possible.

My husband and I were visiting our daughter studying abroad and living in Kensington, so we opted to stay close by. What an amazing location!! A short walk to NottingHill, shopping and exquisite restaurants as well as Kensington Gardens and the Natural History Museum. Easy access to the Tube to enjoy Central London and all it has to offer. Mark was very communicative prior and during our stay and the apartment was well appointment, light filled with comfy furniture to relax after a day of exploring. It was really nice to get away from the tourist areas and enjoy true London living amongst locals. I can’t say enough about the amazing restaurants to choose from, pristine neighborhoods and if you like to cook, we did not, Whole Foods is a fairly short walk. Absolutely loved our stay!

What a great place to stay! The hosts were great and even checked in on me to make sure all was well. The flat is very clean and has all the amenities you could want. Centrally located in London to get anywhere you want easily. Not only do I highly recommend this location and the hosts but I’ll definitely be back here!Thanks for everything.

10/10 stay. Mark was absolutely wonderful and the flat was perfect. We love London and are frequent visitors. Kensington is our favorite neighborhood and we found our favorite place to stay. Comfortable, clean, every amenity you can think of. It’s the type of place I would buy - and that is the ultimate seal of approval. Highly recommended: Kitchen W8 downstairs. We enjoyed a very special meal there and it was worth every penny. Also recommended: excellent shops in the neighborhood, Holland Park, and a short walk to the Tube. The #9 bus on the High Street will take you right to the center of the city. There wasn’t one thing to find fault with. Reserve if you can!
