GOOD: The house is comfortable and spacious. The rooms are large enough and the beds are comfortable. The owners are attentive. It's a good quality option. It was very clean upon arrival. BAD: The location is good but far from the city center if you're sightseeing, and train connections to the metro are limited (it's not very complicated, but it's not a direct metro line). The bathroom is small and has no electrical outlet. You need to bring a plug adapter. The downstairs neighbors complain about the slightest noise or footsteps (they have wooden floors).

In short: great host fantastic location roomy, well-appointed apartment a top-tier stay. Highly recommended if you want a nice apartment close to the heart of the city.We had a wonderful stay! The host was very easy to correspond with — quick, clear, and accommodating every step of the way.The location is wonderful. It offers excellent access to a nearby train station, making travel into the London Underground system (and other rail links) very convenient.The neighborhood is quiet. Our upstairs and downstairs neighbors were respectful and quiet — we felt very relaxed the whole time.The apartment itself is spacious, especially for a family of four. There was plenty of room to spread out. It’s also very well equipped for cooking: we were able to make several of our own meals with ease.

Comfortable London Stay

Very clean and comfortable in good location, easy access to overground and comfy beds. Would’ve been good to know in advance that there was building work going on which caused some noise early in the morning. Overall, nice place to stay however little changes would’ve made a big difference.

Quiet neighborhood with nice restaurants. Close to overground.

Hugo & Liz's place was a perfect location for us go about London. After a very busy and tiring day of sightseeing, it was almost meditative to slowly walk a out of the train station and calm down from the quietness of the area. the apartment has everything you need to feel comfortable. we loved having the space to spread out between the 4 of us and the large kitchen table was the perfect center piece when preparing for the day or coming back home with a hot meal. the tried some of the owner restaurant recommendations and all were excellent! thank you for a fantatistic stay!

Liked the neighborhood restaurants

Liked the neighborhood feel with very close pubs/restaurants nearby. Check in was easy. Be prepared for a lot of stairs up to the unit. Overall, we thought the apartment was fine, but definitely needed a deep clean in the nooks and crannies, which make a big difference. For example, the bathroom had toothpaste splashes on the faucet and the grout in the shower was moldy. Upon entry from outside the building, there was trash approaching the door, pizza boxes and tortillas on ground. Not the best first impression. Overall, I thought the pictures depicted a place a little different than where we stayed. Everything worked, but I would say it was just fine and would probably stay somewhere else next time.

Fantastic Home Away From Home!

We stayed one month at this cozy, inviting flat. It was immaculate when we arrived. Very comfortable furnishings; great living room space to relax in. There are two bedrooms, both furnished well. The beds are super comfortable; we slept great. The kitchen is small but well-stocked. It is a walk up; no elevator. The apartment itself has a short flight of stairs to the MBR and really does not suit for those with mobility issues. Otherwise it’s great! The location was easy to get to, and in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a good walk to the several different tube stops nearby, but it was not a problem for us at all. Communication with Hugo and his team was great. All queries were answered immediately. Huge even went out of his way to make our flat ready a day early when a train strike derailed our plans and we needed to come to London a little sooner than expected. (Those train strikes can wreak havoc). Would stay here again in a heartbeat; just a wonderful, warm, relaxing experience.

Prime London Location

We really enjoyed our family holiday in London. The city is coming back to life and this apartment gave us all we needed to enjoy our time away including a separate twin room for our kids. Well connected by overground, underground and buses. Lovely stuff within walking distance. What I would say is that a couple of touches would have improved our experience even more. There was no welcome other than a generic note on the board (not even a pint of milk), half a loo roll for the whole week, a single person caffetiere as the only coffee maker, no Bluetooth speaker and the TV had no Netflix/iplayer/internet capability which both feel kind of standard for 2021. Not deal breakers but just felt a bit stingy when you’re paying Central London prices. However, super comfy beds, lovely shower, great spot.

A family friendly location in a charming neighborhood. The train station is a 5 minute walk away which will get you wherever you want to go in London. A couple of good local eateries and a small grocer all within 2-3 blocks. Be aware, flat is on the 3rd floor if you have any mobility issues.

Great location for sightseeing in London

Great location, well equipped with tasteful decor. Plenty of space for 3-4 guests including dishwasher, washing machine and the all important wifi connection. Easy to get to London’s sights with Supermarkets, restaurants, shops and cinemas ( Westfield, Kensington Highstreet) nearby. For jogging fans, Holland and Kensington Park are in easy distance or alternatively we headed down to the Thames at Hammersmith. Several public transport options including underground, overground and buses. Big thanks to the owner, who was very responsive and helpful when we had queries.

Great location

The flat was clean, spacious, comfortable and easily accommodated 4 adults. It contains all of the amenities of home with a fully stocked kitchen, all you'll need to purchase is your own food (there are some neighborhood markets in walking distance or Uber to Tesco on Shepherds Bush Road if you want to do some serious grocery shopping). The flat is located in a quiet residential neighborhood yet close to all amenities. Hugo was gracious and always very responsive.

Very comfortable flat!

This flat is very spacious and comfortable. Everything was in working order. Hugo and Liz are excellent communicators, and provide great information about the neighborhood. Beds are VERY comfortable. Shower is very good, but could benefit from some hand rails for safety. Would call out that this is on the 2nd (UK)/3rd (US) floor, and after sightseeing all day the stairs can be daunting. It is also quite a walk (10-15 min) from any Tube stations, but this is already called out on other reviews. There is no drying rack to be found in the flat, so if using the washing machine, you will need to make-do to get clothing dry. Also note that the Wifi does not work in the primary bedroom downstairs, so no streaming movies on your tablet or checking email in bed. This flat was a comfy respite from noise and very restful at the end of a busy day. Plenty of local restaurants nearby, and a Tesco Express is just the other side of Kensington Olympia.
