Great flat in great location. I would recommend Mike's apartment in Kensington to anyone who is planning a trip to London and is looking for a couple of bedrooms.

More info :

The Apartment -- Tidy and clean. Mike has everything you need in the apartment, including an A/C unit in the main bedroom. As A/C-addicted Americans, this was great to have especially given that we were visiting London in August. The apartment is on the top level up several flights of stairs, which was not a problem for us but I'm mentioning in case you have any trouble with a lot of up and down. A benefit however is that Mike has exclusive access to a rooftop deck complete with grill and lounge furniture. We didn't use it, but if we had a few more days in London we would have for sure.

The Neighborhood -- Quaint, safe neighborhood with gastropubs within 10 minutes walk. If you're visiting London for the first time, I'd recommend staying in a neighborhood like this (South Kensington / Earls Court area) instead of a downtown area like Picadilly, which is noisy and touristy - basically the Times Square of London. Another plus for this apartment's location is that it's a 5 min walk to a big, clean Tesco supermarket.

The Tube -- As advertised, Mike's apartment is only a couple of blocks from the Earls Court tube stop. This is a convenient stop for a couple of reasons. First, it's on both the District and Picadilly lines. These two lines take you to almost all the top attractions in London without the need to change trains. 10-15 minutes and you're anywhere you want to be. Second, Earl's Court is a full service tube stop that includes a lift (elevator). We were traveling with our three children, including a baby in a stroller. Lift access was helpful.

Mike -- Was there when we arrived. Gave us several pointers for our stay in London. After checking out and renting a car for a Devon road trip, we realized we had left our passports in the apartment. Called Mike and he met us at the apartment so we could pick them up. Very much appreciated.
