We enjoyed our stay here. Joann's home is well-appointed and full of natural light and historic charm. Having a couch, kitchen and outdoor space really made our stay in London more enjoyable. We looked forward to coming back to such an agreeable retreat after a day of sightseeing. We would simply not have been able to afford a hotel of this size.
Joann was a generous host and even provided wine for our arrival (and lactose free milk for our coffee!).
Getting into the place was easy and we were provided with a video demonstrating how to access the lock box.
The fully-stocked kitchen had everything we needed, including a french press and tea kettle.
There are some tight spaces here, which is to be expected in an historic property. Accessing our luggage in the lofted bedroom was a bit of a challenge. Also, some reviewers have noted that the toilet is actually inside the shower stall. We found this to be a novel design solution and it did not inconvenience us.
Not surprisingly, the apartment is not air conditioned, but we were reasonably comfortable at night with the help of some rose wine and a Dyson fan.
The location in Kensington was ideal. The home is a pleasant ten minute walk to the Earl's Court tube station. Our meal highlights included Dishoom (Kensington High Street tube) and Daphne's (South Kensington). Both excellent meals, and very easy to access from Earl's Court.
Departing was also very easy. We miss London already. I know others will enjoy this place.
Cheers,
William
