Staying in Chelsea was wonderful! Charles's place is located within walking distance to bikes to rent (on actual corner, 1 minute walk), bus stops (2-4 minute walk down one block) and the underground train (South Kensington Station is 12 minute walk through a very fancy/safe neighborhood). All of which you can use your touch and go credit card to get on and off so no need to worry about special cards per transportation. The neighborhood (and neighbors) is quiet and peaceful. There is grocery shopping within a 5 minute walk and restaurants/coffee shops around the corner from the flat. Check in and Check out was a breeze with the lockbox entry so we could conveniently get into the place when we arrived. Kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs, there is a rain shower (so peaceful) and a queen bed which is hard to come by in Europe. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
