For us (two adults and one child just turning 17 during the stay) both the location, Sonia's warm personal welcome (including several small, fresh flower arrangements and a fruit basket, some breakfast basics and also a white wine which we just didn't manage to drink) and the personal touch of the three bedroom-apartment were perfect. All three of us could sleep very well. Of course, you could hear a bit of the street life and the trains - which did not disturb us in the least.
The dining / kitchen area is nicely designed and equipped with everything you need. The living room is very comfortable to sit - and also to watch TV or to read one of the many London guidebooks. You have personalized cushions everywhere and, of course, large paintings in the dining room area and in the hallway.
Our own house is quite old, and we simply love older houses with a character of their own.
On the next occasion we would very much like to come again.

This was a vey comfortable flat with the owner's (Sonia) personal touches which added to its charm. The flat was well equipped and perfectly located within walking distance of several great museums. The nearest tube, South Kensington Station, was also a very short walk away. Sonia helped with directions, dinner recommendations and everything else we needed to know. We appreciated her generous hospitality.

Pros: great location! Close to Underground and many restaurants. Very nice for our family to gather in the morning for coffee and after our busy days of traveling. Kitchen well stocked and refrigerator had some staples for us. Lots of closet space. A nice courtyard in the front where we gathered for cocktails.
Cons: checkout time in vrbo said 11am but owner told us we must leave at 10am. For the price we paid vrbo for cleaning, I expected a very clean house. Floors were dirty (our white socks were filthy on the bottom), bathroom tiles were moldy, and under the bed was dirty and dusty. Linens in main bedroom were stained as well as the mattress pad. Mattress was very thin, uncomfortable, and the bed was squeaky. Other bedrooms had uncomfortable beds as well. Towels in bathrooms were old and rough. Linens and towels should be upgraded to allow for more comfort to the guests.

Sonia was very easy to communicate with prior and during our stay. She is genuinely concerned that you enjoy your stay and her flat. The flat is spacious and we were very comfortable there with our 10 & 11 year old grandkids. The location to the tube and to many shops and restaurants made it very easy to get around. I would definitely return

We had a wonderful time staying at Sonia's lovely flat. The garden out front was beautiful and the house was full of light. We loved the location and talking with Sonia about all the things to do nearby. Thank you again!

This was a great stay for our family - two adults, two teens, and a pre-teen.
The three bedrooms were great, and the two twin beds allowed all of the kids to have their own bed. Two showers were also helpful in getting everyone ready in the morning. The washing machine and drying rack made doing laundry easy. The kitchen was well-appointed, though we didn't do any cooking as there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
In terms of location, the tube stop is a short, easy walk. With three underground lines at the stop, we rarely had to change trains to get to the popular tourist areas.
Sonia, the host, was easy to communicate with ahead of our stay. She met us when we arrived at the property and gave us a thorough and very friendly orientation. We didn't have any issues during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Great apartment in a great location. And Sonia was the perfect host. She allowed us to check in a little early and even supplied some food essentials to get us started for the week. The property is right next to the Tube and there are plenty of restaurant options in the area. Would definitely book again. Thanks Sonia!

Easy check in, Sonia gave us great direction from the Tube to her place. She provided us with a mall amount of food and beverages to get us through the first night.
Place is in a great location to explore all of London. Would look here first on our next visit!

We stayed for five days, parents and adult kids. Was a terrific location and the home was a perfect place to come home to after a long day. You can get anywhere easily from South Kensington tube station which is just down the street. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect, close to the South Kensington Station and within walking distance of sights and shopping. Sonia is the perfect host, even provided some basic staples, wine and fruit to get us started. Good room set out for the family with kids in separate rooms and 2 showers.
Thanks for a wonderful stay Sonia! Great memories for the family. On to Paris.

Comfortable and homey, perfect location for our party of 3 adults and 2 teens. Very short walk to tube station, museums, restaurants. The neighborhood was lovely.
Sonia kindly allowed us to check in a bit early and had stocked some basic groceries that got our vacation off to a great start, which was much appreciated. We all found the beds to be comfortable and hardly ever needed to use the heating units even though it was a chilly week November. All amenities functioned as described, we had everything we needed!

The three bedrooms worked well for our family. The living, dining and kitchen we’re comfortable and provided all we needed. Bathrooms sunlights added light to the rest of the home. We were very close to the underground for trips within and outside London. You can hear the underground from the home but back windows were double to dampen the sound. Lots of great places to eat nearby and groceries were very accessible. Sonia and Andrea were were great about communicating and helping with our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and were out and about everyday with so much to see!

Great location near South Kensington tube station. Beautiful neighborhood with great dining, shopping, and close proximity to the museums, Knightbridge, Hyde park, Fulham road. Our host, Sonia, was there to meet us and very helpful with anything we needed. We love London and hope to return.

Thanks for a great stay! The location was ideal. Steps from South Kensington Underground, restaurants, grocery etc. The property was exactly as shown and had every amenity we needed for a very comfortable stay. Sonia and Andrea were wonderful to work with at every part of the process. I would highly recommend this property.

The location couldn't be better. The home was very comfortable and the kitchen was pre-stocked with fresh fruit and milk in the fridge. I will be staying here again (if available) on my next visit to London....

I cannot say enough positive things about the property and it's owner. Our adult family of 4 stayed for 4 days. Sonia is an incredible communicator and was able to accommodate our early arrival from the US. The property is amazingly clean, pics and advertised, close to restaurants, farmers markets and tube. Sonia had the kitchen kindly stocked to get through the first day. One of our best VRBO experiences- would certainly stay here again.

When I imagined our trip to London, I hoped that I could find a place to stay that would be somewhat close to public transportation and have enough space for us to relax after long days of experiencing London. What we ended up with was a perfect home filled with warmth, light, and beautiful art. Three lovely bedrooms and bathrooms (one with a washing machine), a kitchen filled with anything you need to make your own meal or enjoy take out, a large dining room, a cozy living room, wi-fi, tv with Netflix, a front door with extra locks (although we never felt unsafe), and a wonderful host named Sonia who lived downstairs.
What can I say about Sonia that you haven't read in the other reviews? We fell in love with her the minute we met her. She is so intelligent, is curious about the world, and ensuring that your stay is wonderful. We had come to London for a vacation and for my daughter to attend a concert. Sonia gave us excellent advice about transportation, suggested places for us to go eat and visit, and was invested in our having a great time. An absolute dream host and now a friend!
I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. You won't be sorry. You are a block and a half away from The Underground, have access to a multitude of excellent restaurants and bakeries, little shops, and are minutes away from world-class museums and parks. Anything else you want is a train ride away. I can't wait to go back and stay with Sonia again!

This property was perfect for our (two couples) visit during a chilly few days in London. Quick walk to train or shops and pubs nearby, as well as an easy walk to the attractions listed even on a cold, snowy day. Busy area at times and trains do pass regularly, but you are well located in a major city so completely expected. Sonia was probably the best host we have met...so caring and kind. We've never been left 'groceries' before and they ended up quite helpful after our later-than-expected arrival. Couldn't be more thankful and would love to visit and stay in the summer!

excellent location extremely easy to access underground and travel around London. The owner was very helpful and accomodating I feel the beds were a little uncomfortable and the linens and towels could be updated as well as some of the furniture. Overall good value.

We just returned home from a 10 day stay at this flat and have nothing but good things to say about it. Everything was exactly as indicated in the listing, and Sonia was as gracious a host as one could ever hope for. I was in London to celebrate my 60th birthday, along with my wife, my two adult children, plus my sons girlfriend. There was more than enough room for the 5 of us, and the proximity to the South Kensington Tube Station made it so easy to get anywhere in London in almost no time. Sonia went the extra mile to meet us when we arrived, unobtrusively checked up on us during our stay, and then came by on our last day to see us off. She had left a bottle of wine and various snacks for us when we arrived and was just as friendly as she could be. I would highly recommend this flat to anyone travelling to London!

We enjoyed our stay Brompton & Hans Town condo. The South Kensington location was very good with restaurants and two museums an easy 5 min. walk (The Natural History and Victoria & Albert Museums). But most of all the South Kensington Under Ground station was also a 5 min. walk which opened up all of London to us.
Our hostess was key to making our stay excellent, it was not that our stay was problem free, but Sonia always tried to fix any problem with a smile on her face.

Great location! Spacious flat. Plenty of bathrooms.
Sonia was a gem and so sweet to us. We were visiting when the Queen passed away. Sonia was so worried we wouldn’t be able to see or do anything. But we still saw plenty and understood the momentous historical event that was taking place for Londoners and all of the UK.
5.0
Sonia (the property owner) is gracious, delightful and she aims to please. The property was comfortable, safe and well-located.
Bathrooms are as described but could use some upkeep. Linens are supplied, but these too could use some refreshing. Finally, the property is only 3 minutes from the South Kensington underground station, and while in the residence, one is aware of the trains running regularly behind the property.
