This exquisite apartment, located in Kensington, London, is designed to accommodate up to four guests and has been available for long-term rental since 2015, which accounts for the older reviews. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a small hall featuring a charming bowler hat light and a video entry system, setting a welcoming tone. Directly ahead lies a luxurious marble-tiled bathroom complete with a full-length bath, shower, sink, and toilet, alongside plush towels and bathrobes that enhance the overall comfort of the space.
To the right of the entrance is the inviting sitting and dining area, which boasts a double sofa bed that conveniently opens to reveal a flat-screen cable TV and fast Wi-Fi access within a cupboard. This area is thoughtfully designed with a coffee table and a cozy window seat, ideal for a quiet reading session. At the far end of the sitting area, a stone dining table surrounded by four leather chairs is positioned next to a recently renovated kitchen equipped with modern amenities, including an induction hob, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, ensuring that all culinary needs are met comfortably.
A spiral staircase from the sitting/dining area leads to the mezzanine sleeping area, which features a plush double bed and a large skylight fitted with an electric blackout blind. This thoughtful design ensures a restful night’s sleep, as all windows in the apartment are equipped with blackout blinds. From the bedroom, guests can access a shared terrace that offers breathtaking 360-degree views of iconic London landmarks, including St. Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Although the apartment is situated on the top floor and requires climbing 77 stairs, the stunning vistas from the terrace make the effort worthwhile.
Situated in one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods, this apartment provides easy access to the city’s vibrant attractions. Guests can explore the natural beauty of nearby Hyde Park and Finsbury Park, while cultural hotspots like the Natural History Museum and the London Eye are just a stone's throw away. For those interested in events or sports, Wembley Stadium and the ExCeL Exhibition Centre are also within reach, making this apartment an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration in the heart of London.
