Anthony’s place was amazing - the highlights of it include its proximity to the tube (5 mins walking from
earls court station) and several restaurants and bars, the immaculateness of its condition, the beautiful views of Kensington from the various windows streaming in abundant natural light, the quietness, and of course, Anthony himself! An added bonus is staying just a few minutes away from Freddie Mercury’s home.
Anthony sets realistic expectations in the listing — the place is just as it appears and is probably one of my favorite airbnbs to date. Despite it being a private room, you feel like you really get your own space with the private bathroom (equipped with an assortment of washes and soaps and shampoos!) and Anthony really encourages you to make use of the shared spaces if you need them. He was an incredibly gracious, kind and responsive host and provided tons of recs and exhibited a real passion for London. Check in was seamless and he even allowed us to settle in early the morning we arrived. We had an unprecedented hot water issue one morning which he found unusual as well and really tried his best to help us get it resolved. He also provided us with a top-notch space heater to get through the colder nights.
I truly, honestly mean it when I say this is a must-stay — don’t pass up the opportunity to make this beautiful space your home base while you visit London.
