We were somewhat disappointed in the accommodations as we were expecting an apartment all to ourselves. (It was not made clear in Mike's description that this was a shared apartment.) Instead, this was a small room, albeit with en suite bathroom, and a kitchen and living room to be shared with Mike and other guests. Moreover, it appeared that Mike was using the flat as a work-living space and would be present, along with a business partner, during our stay. As it turned out, Mike had a family emergency and left after the first day of our stay. The building is in an area of nice townhouses but Mike's flat fronts on a busy, noisy, street, has a long flight of stairs with the final stage, quite steep and narrow, and the interior of the building is worn and musty. I would not consider this the "best apartment in Kensington" as claimed. Youthful, budget-minded Gen X'ers might find this communal atmosphere charming, but not for older folks seeking more privacy and ease of access. Some pluses: the flat is very close to a convenient underground line and to a large supermarket.
