Beautiful property in London
We stayed here for a few weeks to celebrate the Christmas holiday. The place is very clean and well maintained, with modern furnishings and amenities along with a well stocked supply of anything you could need. The owners Jay and Morgan were lovely and communicative. Wonderful location in South Kensington, close to restaurants, shops and the underground. Highly recommend!

The location’s spot on, super easy to get around. The guide they’ve put together is honestly the best I’ve seen – packed with all the handy tips you’d need for day-to-day stuff. Jay and Margot were absolutely brilliant and so helpful during our stay. Massive thanks to them! Five stars, no doubt! 🌟

Wonderful flat, Amazing location
The flat was beautiful, immaculate and had everything we needed. Felt homey and warm, lovely decor. Jay and Margot were exceptional hosts - communication was easy and prompt. The location was to fantastic - easy stroll to King's Road and very cute area. Lots of good restaurants, quality grocery etc. just around the corner. We would definitely consider staying here again next time we are in London. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood with exceptional hosts
We were a family of 4 with an infant. Jay & Margot were fabulous hosts & their house was perfect for us! Before we even arrived they went out of their way to buy us a travel crib for our granddaughter so she would have something to sleep in. Check in was a breeze, & if we needed anything they were totally accessible, kind & helpful. They left us the most gorgeous flowers, & incredible welcome treats. Their kitchen was fully stocked with anything & everything we could possibly need. The house was clean, & they even had someone come to clean it while we stayed. The area was perfect - close to a tube stop, museums, restaurants, grocery stores. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Charming and Lovely!
We adored staying at this home! We traveled as a family with two teenagers. The house is very spacious especially for being in such a prime location. The ground floor has a wonderful kitchen, living room and beautiful garden. The home is beautifully decorated with a charming combo of London chic meets LA cool. The hosts were very welcoming and quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood is peaceful with shops and restaurants nearby. The upscale Angelsea pub is one block away with a popular outdoor patio and the best beef wellington. The South Kensington tube stop is just 10 minutes away and has easy access with Circle, District, and Picadilly lines. We would highly recommend!

Perfect South Kensington Home
I don’t typically take the time to write a review, but our stay at this house in London was incredible and warrants providing some comments. We have stayed at many high-end VRBO properties across the US and Europe and this is the best experience we have ever had, both with the property itself and the hosts. Jay and Margot were incredible and treated us more like family than a renter of their home. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay in London. They live in the neighborhood, so their recommendations for local restaurants in Chelsea and South Kensington were all excellent. The home is beautifully decorated and furnished, and has comfortable high-quality mattresses and bedding and modern bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with top tier appliances and all the kitchenware and glassware you will need. The private garden is lovely and a bonus that you don’t typically get in London. And the location is excellent, within a short walk to lots of restaurants and shops, a 10-minute walk to the South Kensington tube station, and a 20-minute walk to Hyde Park. I highly recommend this property and we will be back on our next trip to London!
