The location in South Kensington is great. It’s a ten minute walk to Gloucester St Station. You can take the tube from there directly to most major sites and to Heathrow and St Pancras station. Nice restaurants and small food markets steps away. Many good restaurants within a ten minute radius. A Wholefoods Market ten minutes by foot. Hyde Park five minutes away. Short walk to the V and A museum and Royal Albert Hall. Area felt very safe and had a local flavor; not heavy with tourists.
We are a family of four with two teenagers - 17 and 19. We were there for one week. The bedrooms were tight but there were three beds and everyone slept well. We had our own room, separate from the kids. Having three toilets was nice. The kitchen is great; full stove and refrigerator. The living room/dining room was a nice place to rest and chat during the evening. Home felt safe.
Check in went smooth and we didn’t interact with the host after that because everything went well the whole week.
