Heather's Chelsea flat 222 was ideal for us! We had a great five night stay.
Pro’s: 1) Location X 3! The 14, 414, 211 and other great buses stop right outside the door! South Kensington Tube station is a ten minute walk but you can easily hop the bus both ways. Ideal. Step out, go left 100 yards and you have both a Sainsbury’s Local and an M&S Simply Food. A bit further down is Boots and a Tesco Express; 2) The neighborhood is super pleasant, very safe, and not noisy!; 3) Space! This is a true one bedroom apartment [the bedroom is completely separate from the living area.] .You can totally stretch out! We did!; 4) The kitchenette is great with under counter fridge and clothes washer, microwave, range, and sink. We did lots of eating in. Good basic supply of plates, pots, pans, etc. ) 5) The bedroom has good space with two small twin beds that sleep great, lovely comforters [duvets.] Also about 12 feet of hanging space in the closet. We set our biggest suitcase in the floor of the closet/wardrobe.Still space to walk around. 6) The bathroom is upscale with gorgeous tiles, great lighting, heated towel rack. The towels were very luxurious and you get several. 7) Wifi worked great. The TV had more channels than we needed! 8) The heating worked great and was easy to control;
9) Great value! You’d pay more and get less at any hotel.
No real Cons, just so you know/be aware: 1) It is on the British 2nd floor, that is US 3rd. Not an issue for us but maybe for some; there is no elevator, so bags are carried up and down; 2) Just FYI, there is no tub and the shower enclosure, though elegant, is not big, probably 32 X 32. Again, not an issue for us. BTW, there is tons of hot water!
We found this a lovely, comfortable place to retreat at the end of a busy day. We'll check this first on any future return trips.
Many thanks Heather!
