About this property

Family-Friendly 3BR Garden Flat in Kensington -Zone 1 - Sleeps 7–8

A comfortable and well-equipped 3-bedroom garden flat in Kensington & Chelsea, just a one-minute walk from Earl’s Court Tube (Zone 1). With direct access to the Piccadilly and District lines, the flat is an excellent base for exploring London — museums, parks, theatres, shopping and Heathrow Airport are all easily reached without the need for a car.

Space & Layout

The flat is arranged over the lower ground floor and works very well for families and groups up to 7, with the option to accommodate an 8th guest on the sofa-bed if needed.

Bedrooms:
- Master bedroom with en-suite shower and triple glazing
- Second bedroom with a bunk bed (single above, small double below) plus an additional single bed
- Third bedroom, a small converted utility room with a single bed — cosy and ideal for a child or solo guest

Sleeping Flexibility:
- Ideal for 5–7 guests
- Sofa-bed in the lounge can accommodate a 7th or 8th guest for shorter stays

The main bathroom includes both a bath and shower — a useful feature for families with young children.

Living & Cooking
- The main living space is open-plan and includes:
- fully equipped kitchen
- dining table
- washer dryer
- comfortable lounge area with TV and sofa-bed

This setup suits longer stays, family trips, and guests who prefer to prepare some meals at home.

Private Garden (Rare for Zone 1)

A standout feature of the flat is the private 70m² garden — a rare find in central London. It includes seating, outdoor lighting, power outlets and a barbecue, making it a lovely spot to relax after a day in the city when the weather cooperates.

Location Highlights

Earl’s Court is one of London’s most convenient and well-connected neighbourhoods. Within a few minutes’ walk you’ll find:
- supermarkets (Tesco, Co-op, M&S Food)
- cafés and bakeries
- international restaurants
- green spaces

Nearby attractions include:
- Natural History Museum
- Science Museum
- Victoria & Albert Museum
- Hyde Park
- Kensington Palace
- Royal Albert Hall

Heathrow Airport is approximately 40 minutes door-to-door via the Piccadilly line.

Practical Notes (For Clarity)
- The flat sits on a main road, so some traffic noise can be heard in the front bedrooms (triple/double glazing helps)
- As a lower-ground flat, natural light levels are moderate; professional photos may appear brighter than reality
- Not wheelchair accessible
- No parking on-site (typical for Zone 1), but public transport is excellent

This was a fantastic rental for our family of 5. There were plenty of beds to sleep in and had everything that our family needed. The garden was nice to have for morning coffee and my kids were excited about the neighbors cats that came to visit the garden. The rental is extremely close to Earls Court station which is convenient when traveling to all the London attractions. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend this flat to others. The front single bedroom does get cold. The bunk room was perfect for our 3 kids. The shower had excellent water pressure. If you are a lite sleeper, I would recommend a white noise machine if you sleep in the main bedroom. The street noise wasn’t loud but occasionally you would hear an ambulance. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and pots and pans. Washer/dryer unit in one. Kettle and French press available. No actual coffee maker. Toaster and microwave. Wine opener. No dishwasher. Kids cups and utensils available.

Loved the location. Just a block off of Earls Court tube entry. Easy to walk around the area, and plenty of shopping. There is road noise in the front bedrooms, but you are told about it in advance and it is normal for anyone who has ever lived in a big city. My only real down side is the walls could use freshening up, the paint is just tired and a little lacking.

Location, location, location

The absolute best thing about this VRBO is the location. Great access to the Tube and the bus system. The apartment itself is functional but needs attention to furnishings and bathrooms. The photos on the VRBO site are dated and not really reflective of the current condition of the property. Absolutely no fault with the water pressure and plenty of hot water for 6 ladies. A little TLC would go a long way to make this unit more desirable. Alec the owner was a great communicator and very easy to work with. Overall the stay was good.

Cozy London Flat

This was the ideal place for my group and I to stay while visiting London for the first time. The flat was the perfect size for our group of 5. Even with it being off a busy road, it was peaceful during our stay. The fantastic location to the underground station was very helpful for our travels! I would definitely love to stay again!

Alexander was great, but we had trouble connecting with William, who manages the rental for Alexander. The flat was as advertised, but it could use some tlc. The mattress in the primary bedroom was not very comfortable. Water pressure and hot water were plentiful!

Great location

Great location a half block from Underground and 1 long block to grocery store. Clean and we slept 7 rather comfortably. Great water pressure and showers. Nice outdoor patio in back and and seating area with table. On mail street so at times you here emergency vehicles going by. Was not an issue for us though. Couches in main living area could be replaced. But overall, we were very happy with our rental.

Charming place in a great neighborhood

The property worked out great for our stay of a few days as a family with kids. Beds were comfortable and hanging out in the living area at night was cosy. Cute back patio. The water pressure all over London was really strong, but especially so in this flat. Super fast showers! The entrance is below ground down slightly precarious steps. Just had to be careful, especially with luggage. The location was one of the best parts. Next to stores and restaurants, and basically down the block from the tube. Beautiful neighborhood.

Overall great location

Location was excellent! Very close to Underground station. Had everything we needed. Very accommodating with our early arrival. Downsides were similar to most city dwellings: plenty of outdoor noise, and night time lights outside (blackout blinds, but still plenty of light coming through - though I've learned to travel with an eye mask). Largest mattress could use some more support. Also the walls near the ceiling could use some dusting. With a few minor updates, this place would be excellent, but overall was still a great stay.
