Location is everything! Husband & I always stay in So Kensington area; although our prior Airbnb’s have been studios. First time visit for adult daughter & 19 yr granddaughter so we needed 2 bedrooms.
Comfortable. Place to relax at end of day. Washer. Drying rack was missing; hung our clothes in closet to dry; took 2 days to dry.
Close to tube; walking distance to V&A & Natural History Museums; as well as Hyde Park. Enjoyed the “eateries” on Bute St, as well as the Saturday Farmer’s Market.
There’s a pub on the corner, but the noise dies down about 10:30pm. TESCO Express (little market) is around the corner for groceries.
A busy area! we enjoyed watching kids walk to the French school at the end of Bute St.
Small, lovely bookstore (So Kensington Bookstore-Thurloe St). Fabulous crepes at Kensington Creperie on Exhibition Rd.
Suggest each person have their own “TAP” credit card for riding the tube. Saved us having to buy paper tickets or Oyster cards for public transit.
