This is a simply and tastefully decorated flat with high ceilings and wonderful views down onto greenery - and best of all, for us, was how wonderfully quiet it was, thanks to being in a cul de sac on one side of a garden square. But that doesn't mean it's hard to get anywhere: you're about 10 minutes walk from the Tube station, excellent shopping on Kensington High Street, any number of pubs and restaurants, and Hyde Park. The only downside (while it didn't bother us) is being up two flights of stairs, which might prove difficult for carrying up heavy bags if you're not relatively young and fit. For us it was unimportant beside the great advantage of a peaceful night's sleep in tranquil surroundings yet close by to the excitement of central London's parks, museums and galleries. We loved our stay.
