We’ve just arrived back in Australia from our first UK holiday; which included spending 12 days at Rafael’s apartment. We enjoyed our time in London staying at Rafael’s apartment so much that we’re already planning a return trip!
The apartment could not have been more perfect and Rafael was so incredibly helpful from our very first contact. He responded very quickly to any questions we had and provided us with all the information we needed to make us feel very welcome and comfortable.
The apartment was wonderful. Spotlessly clean, beautifully appointed and peaceful too. We loved the abundance of natural light, the super comfortable bed and other conveniences such as the washing machine and full kitchen.
The location is brilliant too. So close to shops, supermarkets, restaurants, underground stations and buses…it’s all on your doorstep. Not to mention only being a few metres away from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park where we enjoyed many long walks.
We’ve fallen in love with London and we will return one day. And there’s no other place we would want to stay. Thank you again Rafael. Your support and assistance in the lead up to and during our stay was very much appreciated.

The flat was immaculate and attractively furnished, with a beautiful view. We loved the bustling, multi-ethnic locale of Queensway Street, and the close proximity to Hyde Park for evening strolls. With the help of Google map directions, we easily navigated to various parts of the city via the local bus and tube connections. Host Rafael is a consummate professional, engaging and anxious before and during the visit to make sure guests are happy. We hope to return soon.

Rafael was very accommodating and great to work with.

This apartment was in an amazing location, half a block from Hyde Park and on a street with about 1 million restaurants. It was right in between two different tube stations so you could get anywhere quickly.
5.0
After a long day, the apartment is literally a few steps from the entrance to the 2 main underground lines. Which was welcome and super convenient. Being next to vast green spaces meant that we were often able to walk to our destination, in the quiet and traffic-noise free spaces of the central interconnected parks (Kensington Gardens, Hyde And Green Park). For us, London was quiet and green. Apt. was clean and quiet in a real neighborhood within walking distance of a Waitrose grocery. Easy, positive communications with host who showed us kindness when we needed it. Recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Princess Ct. The flat was clean, check out and check in was easy. The location was great: close to the underground, lots of food options nearby, groceries nearby. Rafael made the whole experience easy. It made our visit to London very comfortable. Thank you!

The manager, Rafael was quick with response time and did answer all our questions prior to and during our stay. He also did see to 'fixing' the tv within a reasonable time frame. No Netflix as advertise.
However, this stay was NOT comparable to the listing I initially booked. I was told by Rafael that it was and we were very disappointed with the state of the washroom and entrance hallway and other items in this stay.
The building and mostly the apartment itself are VERY TIRED and worn down. The washroom is SUBSTANDARD and does NOT look anything like the 'contemporary' apartment initially listed.
I took many photos of the apartment at the start and at the end of our time there. I would share them with you for clarity if required. There is mold in the bathroom and cracks in the tiles, chipped paint etc. Definitely, NOT what is being sold on the website.
Good features:
Great location, good size apartment, kitchen is small but adequate.

This was our fifth rental (first on VRBO). The good: Location - Convenient to tube stops, restaurants and markets. Off the main street so street noise muted. Hyde Park a few steps away. Washer/dryer worked perfectly. Security seemed good. The bad - No helpful check-in. Landlord was out of country so his Assistant (later identified as the cleaning woman) met us and showed us almost nothing about the unit. She was in a hurry to leave. Television needed to be reprogrammed (it could only get three stations) and the remote replaced, the process taking four days. The "Assistant" had the television running when we arrived so should known of the issues. Matter resolved when chance meeting occurred with the person sent to review the problem was leaving the building when we entered (he lacked one of the keys to the unit so couldn't enter without us). The bedroom wall length shelf was pulling away from the wall. We were told it would be repaired but never was. Extensive mold around the shower/tub, oven and stove top not plugged in. Window in the bedroom could not be opened so ventilation in that room inadequate. The building itself was noisy with slamming doors and some work done in other units. This was a substitute unit as the one selected was taken off the rental market one month before delivery so seemed not properly vetted or prepared (an assumption).

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The property is perfectly located between two tube stations and in a lively and safe neighborhood. The flat was clean and well appointed. Rafael was great to work with and ensured we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

This property is ideally located for travel all over London via The Tube. The area is full of restaurants, pubs, shops, & grocery stores to choose from.
The apartment itself is well appointed for whatever length of stay you choose.
Dealing with Rafael was a treat. He is very attentive and gives great recommendations. We will definitely use one of his properties again.

We stayed at the apt for a month. Public transport right at your doorstep so you can do the touristy things. You could cook up a nice feed at night, and you can go to the pub around the corner and become a local. What a great spot. As Australians we found Rafael very helpful ,he did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks Rafael for a great apartment in London

We spent two weeks in this apartment located between two tube stops. It is near grocery stores, restaurants and pubs. The weather turned quite cold during our stay and the apartment was always comfortable. The property manager was excellent to work with and responded promptly. Would definately stay here again.

Bayswater Apartment
We had a wonderful holiday staying at this apartment. The location is fantastic; set between two tube stations, giving access to the District, Circle and Central lines, with Hyde Park just a stone's throw away (we walked to the V&A Museum through the park). There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets in the area as well. The apartment was beautifully furnished and had absolutely everything you could possibly need. I would like to thank the host, Rafael, for his attention to detail and swift replies to all communications. I would absolutely recommend this apartment.

Great location for public transportation
This is a nice flat close to Hyde park, with a lot of retail close by. It is also right between 2 major Underground stations. We were able to easily travel around the city.

Cozy flat in the heart of London
We are a couple and two children. The appartment was perfect for us! Very confortable and well equiped. A few metres from underground stations and just some steps to the wonderful Hyde Park! Rafael was very kind and gave us precious informations concerning trasport, restaurants and other facilities. Your assistant Dolly who received us so kind as well. We’d really come back, it was perfect!

Cozy apartment at great location
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this unit. Location was convenient, the apartment was as described, and the property manager was great with communication and helpful information about the neighborhood.
The bathroom and kitchen could use a slight update - no major issues but some things were showing their age (base panel in the kitchen kept falling down, dishwasher soap dispenser was broken)

Fabulous!
I cannot say enough about this property. Grocery store to the right. Tube stations to the right and the left. Hop on Hop off bus station just around the corner from the Queensway tube station Pubs, restaurants and souvenir shops everywhere. Rafeal and Dolly were amazing host. Never had a problem getting in touch with them. Thank you Rafael and Dolly for making a stay most memorable.

Lovely in So Many Ways
Well-furnished, quiet, and sunny apartment that is located, as described, near two underground (metro) stations and Kensington Park. We enjoyed the neighborhood, too. We found Rafael's list of resturants and pubs to be spot-on as good places to eat and drink with the locals. I've rented three different apartments in different parts of London over the last three years; this one is my favorite. I'll rent again for my next visit.

London holiday
We recently spent a week visiting London and chose this apartment rather than a hotel. It turned out to be a fantastic location, next to Starbucks and 2 tube stations that took us anywhere we wanted to go. It is right next to Kensington Park and numerous ethnic restaurants on Queensway st. The apartment had everything we needed, and even though we had the windows open it was exceedingly quiet during the evenings. We would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous apartment in Central London.
The apartment has a great layout, the bedroom is well appointed with tons of closet space and a comfy Queen bed. The location is close to everything, grocery stores and shopping, and several good restaurants. The host Rafael is an excellent communicator and promptly responds to all requests. We would stay here again if we return to London.

Perfect place to stay between two tube stops within one block. Great restaurants, easy food shopping. Lovely Hyde Park just up the block. Very quiet at the back of the building. Rafael was very responsive in all matters. Highly recommend this flat.

Above our expectations
The apartment was spacious for my 3 adult family members, furnished beautifully with plenty of storage and so conveniently located 50m From the underground station and a few blocks from Hyde Park and Kensington Castle. Rafael was so helpful with communication and sent detailed travel connections to his unit so that we found the rental easily and cheaply. And for such a great location the unit was quiet! Our sincere thanks for a great stay in London! We will be back to The Princess Court!

This is a great home base for exploring London. We stayed here with our adult daughter for 5 nights. The apartment is so close to two tube stations. Plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. to choose from. Hyde Park really is right there! This 3rd floor flat is on the backside of the building, so we appreciated the quiet after a busy day.

Wonderful! Great location!
My teenage daughter and I stayed at this flat and loved it! The place was very clean, comfortable, and stylish. The location was perfect! Steps away from Kensington/Hyde park, two underground stations, and plenty of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores. The owner Rafael was so accommodating and very responsive to all communication. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful Honeymoon Stay
My husband and I were lucky enough to choose this flat for our honeymoon in London. It was immaculate, comfortable and in a fantastic location. Rafael was incredibly responsive to any and all questions and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. The kitchen was well equipped, the furnishings were comfortable and the bedroom was perfection. Being located between two tube stops was wonderful and it couldn't have been easier getting around London. When we make it back, we most certainly look forward to staying in this flat again!

Best stay in London
We have stayed in other flats in London previously. This flat is the best ever! The location cannot be topped with 2 tubes and 3 lines within minutes of the flat. We could not even count the number of great ethnic restaurants nearby. The flat was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the appliances were all in working order and were very nice. Communication with the property manager could not have been easier.
We will stay here again if we return to London!

Lovely and convenient
We felt right at home in this apartment and enjoyed our stay. Very convenient location. Quiet and peaceful area for sleeping but close to restaurants and shops.

Very nice place, great location.
The place was just as described. Everything went great for check in/out. When we first got to the street on Sunday evening, we were surprised at how busy it was. Our first thought was that maybe it would be noisy up in the apartment. Not at all. The apartment faces the back and it was dead silent at night (really surprising for being in the city). The busy street is actually a nice plus too. Plenty of places to get food, toiletries, or just about anything else you might need. We ate at a couple of the restaurants Raphel recommended, and got some felafel and kebobs from a tiny, busy shop (busy for good reason!). The subway ("tube") stations are right there. We wound up taking these to Heathrow when we departed, probably saved about $50 doing vs a taxi. Overall, a very good experience.
5.0
Absolutely perfect stay. Owner was lovely and couldn't of been more helpful. Dolly was lovely too.
What an amazing place to stay. Can't fault a thing. Had everything we needed, great location too. It makes it more of a nicer stay when the owner is so helpful and welcomes you. Felt like home. Wish we could of stayed longer

This was our first choice when looking for accommodation for our trip and we were delighted when we learnt that it was available for our dates. Perfect choice, great apartment and a location to die for...Rafael is a very gracious host and his assistant Dolly was super kind on arrival. We would recommend without a doubt. C.K. and V.B

My sweetheart surprised me with a London trip for my last birthday, we stayed in this pretty apartment and we really love the place and the location. The building is very well kept and oozes character, even though it was partially covered by an scaffolding during our stay, something that the owner mentioned when we booked. I recommend the Royal China restaurant, only steps away , for the best dim sum in London! Ella and Hugh A.
