Iraida was a superlative host, always great communications, a lovely, thoughtful, personal welcome, local tips and she was flexible with some of the details when she could accommodate our requests. I’d say she went above and beyond.
The apartment is really nice, she has a cool collection of art on the walls and everything you need is there. The bedroom was dark, cool and quiet and the bed really comfy (we were trying to google the mattress it was so good). I don’t always sleep well when I am in a new place but I had a great nights sleep there.
The location is also really handy - it’s set back a bit from the main road but ideally placed for the main museums (V&A, Nat Hist, Science etc) around South Ken, and we could walk up leafy Georgian streets to Kensington High Street for shopping, restaurants and Kensington Palace. We also walked to Hyde Park and took Boris Bikes through the park. The price is good value for money for the location.
We would definitely look to stay here again if we ever get another weekend away from our kids :-)
