Booked as a brief stop gap in the midst of heavy itinerant work for 24/25th December. Just wanted a nice place for two nights where I could cook for myself in a nice area so paid a little more for it's Kensington postcode. Step 1. The lockbox is in a needlessly clandestine location resulting in the police stopping me asking me what I was retrieving from under a bush (in the pouring rain). Get inside and decide just to make a coffee and watch the news to destress. Neither of the two TVs work (one no signal. One no power outlet available). Go to bed. Christmas Eve I was out all day (first awoken by police trying to trace one of the upstairs neighbours with loud knocking) and just grabbed some groceries on my way home. Christmas Day go to make breakfast and start prepping vegetables for my solo Christmas lunch to find that there are NO: knives, chopping boards, or oven trays. My main reason for choosing self-catering now all but denied me (I am an engineer with some tools and used to be a chef. I improvised). Add to this noisy neighbours upstairs (wouldn't have been an issue otherwise) and I fail to see how the accomodation matches the price tag. A nice flat in a nice area just woefully under-equipped

The apartment is nicely located, newly remodeled and very clean but the landlord could care less if you raise any issues. He provided only one set of keys which meant my wife and I had to make difficult arrangements to give each other access. The TVs didn't work and the landlord wouldn't fix them. There is no book of instructions for a very complicated Bosch oven and a clothes washer and beware the shower floor which is as slippery as a hockey rink. There are too many nice rentals in London to return to this place.

It was my first time in London and the location was great since it was walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants/cafes. I would have given 5* but there are a few things that need to be addressed such as the bed mattress which you could feel the springs through and was quite uncomfortable. The wires and plugins were hanging from all of the TV's so don't expect to watch TV. Again something small to fix but would add more value to the stay. The book that was supposed to be left on the kitchen table was not there so I was a bit lost on how things worked in the flat and lastly a huge selling point for me was that there was working internet which unfortunately when I got there was not working due to the owner not paying his bill. All things that can be easily fixed before the next guest and would me a 5* stay
