Maria's flat turned out to be the perfect headquarters for our first-time adventures in London. It was exactly as described - no surprises. The pictures on the site are an accurate depiction of how it currently looks. The accommodations were every bit as bright and spacious as in the pictures, and clean throughout. The location is a few minutes from the Earl's Court underground station, a hub for multiple tube lines. It is close to a 3-block stretch full of convenient well-known British chain restaurants, mini-markets, wine shops, etc. and within walking distance to other finer restaurants around Kensington.

One of our concerns was that our lodging be reasonably quiet, and Maria's flat was all we could have hoped for in that regard. The flat is located on a lovely square, and the bedrooms are in the back away from the street. Plus, Maria was the perfect host. She met us when we checked in, answered our queries throughout our stay, provided us with a list of nearby stores, and even helped carry our (heavy) bags up the stairs. She arranged a car to the airport and met us at the flat to be sure our departure was smooth.

We’d love to stay at this flat again and highly recommended it.
