Our family of 7 stayed here for six nights. Great location near restaurants and shopping and an easy walk to the tube. London was having a heat wave though and it got very warm at night. There is no AC (which is typical for most homes in the UK). We did use the mobile AC unit, which helped to cool the master bedroom, but the other bedrooms remained pretty warm. We also had to plan for use of the one shower, as most in our group preferred showers over baths. In general, we had a very pleasant stay and had everything we needed.

You won’t find another residence quite like this - anywhere. Designed by the owner (an internationally renowned interiors guru who I now want to help with my homes), the inspired combination of contemporary and quirky fabrics with classical styling, prized art and antique furniture makes this a unique and very special place. The art of a great night’s sleep is a given - with sumptuous hand-made mattresses, down pillows and the softest Egyptian linen. And silence. This inside / outside space is impossibly quiet with views across pretty residential gardens. so safe, I lived with the doors open. Loved all the thoughtful home touches and comforts that make every stay a pleasure. There’s state of the art lighting, an AV system that beats my own, sub-zero appliances and even a La Conue hob. Didn’t bother cooking - it took us just a minute’s walk through a lovely tree lined neighbourhood to buy breakfast from Café Phillies. No room service - who cares when the choice of local restaurants is so great. Kensington High Street and Holland Park are on the doorstep and Kensington Gardens leading into Hyde Park is just minutes away. This is a complete treat of a London pad and way more personal and private than a hotel.

Our visit was all the more perfect due to this stunning flat! My husband and I have wanted years to get to London again and Phillimore Gardens is such a great location. The support from London Perfect was much appreciated! I wandered the spaces here admiring the decor - so much thought about detail and ambience! The Chelsea Flower Show with a champagne tea at the Dorchester was quite stimulating to the senses. Dinners at The Belvedere in Holland Park were our favorites. We certainly hope to return again! For now, it's off to the Lake District and Edinburgh for more adventures!

We had the most wonderful time at your beautiful home. In fact - we do not want to leave. This really felt like our home away from home. The apartment is just beautiful with such thought and time put into every detail!! Especially loved all of the fabulous art and the different textures on the walls. The system to adjust the lighting in each room was fabulous! The shower was especially divine and I plan to copy it at home during our upcoming guest bath renovation!! We love the area so much!! The restaurants, shops and convenience were wonderful! We will be back!!

Fantastic Airbnb, we stayed with our toddler and it was perfect for us. Quiet, clean, and well decorated. Great location for getting all over London. And since it's below ground it was really cool, which was especially nice during the heat. Would definitely stay here again!

5 star all the way around. The home was perfect as in the pictures. The greeter was fabulous with communication and flexibility on our arrival.

The Walton was just lovely for our family of 3. Quiet, well-equipped, updated and luxurious, beautiful art and nice beds. The London Perfect contact was super helpful and checked-in to be sure we were happy.

My wife and I rented the Shelbourne apartment for 6 days in May, this was our third rental we have used with London Perfect and have been happy with each apartment. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and functioned well. The bath was very nice and we used the washer/dryer with good success. The outdoor space was great and we only had one day with some construction noise. The TV is set up to use your apps like Amazon, Netflix, etc. and worked well with the wifi.. Oen thing to note is you will have to take your luggage up 9 steps to reach the elevator and down 6-7 steps to reach the apartment. Great stay and a great apartment for 2 people. Definitely would rent again.

The flat was lovely! Beautiful floor to ceiling windows making it bright and cheery. Well decorated with a large master bedroom and bath. Other bedrooms were comfortable as well. We loved having the washer and dryer as we were there for several days. The only small tweak we would make would be to have face cloths in the towel sets (yes, a rarity in the UK but always provided at fine hotels).

Absolutely perfect spot for our family of 7! The host was so helpful and accommodating. They even recommended an excellent car service who we loved. We used them for transportation to and from the airport and also for a trip to Windsor Castle. The neighborhood is as good as it gets. Extremely safe, gorgeous, and walkable - with fantastic cafes, restaurants, and corner stores. Very easy access to the Gloucester Tube station and walkable to many sites. The pub down the mew was lovely and vibrant. Noise was a non-issue. Guillam Coffee House was a gem - as was Da Mario. A+++++ stay— would recommend wholeheartedly.

My husband, 20 yr old daughter and I spent 5 nights at Bronte on our recent first time trip to London. The flat was exactly as pictured in a nice, residential area convenient to the tube, grocery, restaurants, etc. We utilized Lushilimos for airport transfer which worked out perfectly for our first time there. The flat has tons of great natural light and having the greenspace/park at the back was just what the doctor ordered after a day of sightseeing with crowds and noise all around you. As others have mentioned the flat was quiet, beds were very comfortable and the place stocked with top of the line accessories, appliances, etc. The only thing we missed was a hair dryer but we were able to pick one up around the corner early one morning. My daughter slept on the pull out sofa bed in the office/bedroom and said it was very comfortable. The space worked well for the three of us. One note, the master bed is somewhat low to the ground, no boxspring but as I mentioned still very comfy. The sofa in the living room also sits low but is comfy as well. The flat was very clean. We would definitely stay with London Perfect again.

Christie is a great apartment with a well-arranged use of space and with everything you need in order to feel right at home in the wonderful city of London. A surplus is it's location in a great neighborhood where you'll find fun shops, cafes and historical sights worth exploring. Our stay went flying by too quickly! Thank-you Perfect London!

Wonderful apartment. Bright, beautiful and tidy in a great location accesible to public transport, many shops and beautiful Kensington Park. Our family of five felt right at home at Austen and will definitely want to come back when visiting London. We enjoyed our stay very much. Time flew by! Thank-you to the London Perfect Team!

We loved Phillimore! Such a beautiful flat - and in a great location. London Perfect - Thank you for your role in making this an amazing London holiday! We have stayed before with Paris Perfect - once again your company is the best! - a fabulous property and great support. A 10/10!!
PS. The notes and suggestions from the owner were very kind and a lovely touch - we really appreciated the thoughfulness.

Gorgeous house, perfectly located for the first time we brought our kids over to London. The accomodation was exactly as advertised & as shown in the photos. There were little extra touches everywhere that ensured we had everything we could have wanted. The hosts were very helpful, efficient & responsive. Their suggested transfer service from Heathrow made our arrival even easier. Would highly recommend!

Very spacious flat. Perfect for our multi generational visit to London. Fully outfitted kitchen, lots of games to entertain all. The half bath had a flushing lever that was out of the wall, so that toilet was unusable. The bath/shower combo in two of the bathrooms have no shower curtains, so lots of spilled water when showering. Excellent location in Kensington. Minutes from Gloucester Road Underground station. Also close to Waitrose, Oddbins, and Whole Foods.

I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful and well-equipped Belgravia flat with my two teenage sons. We started each day walking to a neighborhood breakfast spot and then to nearby Victoria Station. After a full day of sightseeing, we each had our own comfortable space and privacy to recharge. Thank you, London Perfect! Amazing!!
