Well located, and very quiet.Good size and equipment for 4. However, the flat really needs maintenance and cleaning.
Review submitted by Azmir from Muscat, Omam (Submitted: 17 Jul 2012)
Good location, walking distance to Westfield & train station. The unit has all the required amenities and some unexpected stuff (like umbrella). Would definately stay again if in town. however, please note the following, the unit picture posted on the web is a small tv but it is actually a 32 inch flat screen. the queen bed is a bit small and there is no dryer with the washing machine. However, the place is cosy for my family of 4.

Good quit location, we recommend Sheperds Bush Station (10 minute walk) because of frequency of trains. Kitchen is well equipped but everything (exept fridge) is old, shabby and not very clean. Utensils need to be replaced. The size of the apartment is just big enough for 4 adults, 6 would be too much if you want to do more there then just sleep.

Lovely flat in a good location. nothing was missing for our comfort, a happy stay!
Review submitted by Veselka from Sofia (Submitted: 27 Sep 2011)
The property is good value for the money. The location is very good - residential and quiet quarter yet very near to High Kensigton and Hammersmith streets with plenty of shops and pubs.
It is better than a hotel room - much more space and privacy.
The only negative thing is that the furniture is very old and the hygene is not at high levels, but as a whole the overall impression is very good and I reccomend it for a stay in London.
The landlords were very friendly and helpful!

Sheet on the double bed had not been washed. There was hair and other debris on it.
Bathroom floor was not very clean.
Lovely, quiet location, Bit of a walk to stores, bus and tube.

Lappartement est assez bien situé pour découvrir Londres, dans un quartier très calme. A notre arrivée, le gérant nétait pas au rendez-vous car il nous avait oublié... Pensez à prendre son numéro de portable avant de partir. Il sest fait excuser en apportant deux bouteilles de vin le soir-même. Idéal pour quatre personnes, lappartement est assez grand. La propreté est correcte mais lentretien est perfectible.
Review submitted by MOISES from LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA (Submitted: 18 Aug 2011)
Situación: La propiedad se encuentra muy bien situada a pocos metros de dos estasciones de metro, es lo mejor del apartamento.
Calidad-Precio: Esperabamos un poco más de calidad y que hubiera por lo menos toallas en el apartamento.
Limpieza: Aunque, nos encontramos limpiando al dueño del apartamento, la limpieza era deficiente, los cuadros, la televisión, tenían una capa de polvo importante encima de ellos. Nosotros tenemos dos niños asmáticos y estuvimos 2 horas después de nuestra llegada limpiando todo el polvo del apartamento.
Deficiencias: La cocina está en mal estado, ni el horno ni el extractor de humos funcionan, los roperos de la cocina no se cierran y se quedan abiertos. La ducha, el grifo estaba en mal estado, salía agua por todos lados menos por el grifo, tuvimos que ponerle una cinta alrededor para podernos duchar. La silicona de la ducha estaba llena de moho al igual que parte del techo del baño. Una de la ventanas al intentar abrirla nos quedamos con uno de los soportes en la mano. Nosotros intentamos dejar el apartamento en mmejores condiciones de las que nos encontramos, pero hemos decidido que buscaremos otro apartamento en nuestra próxima estacia en londres. Este apartamento con un buen mantenimiento sería perfecto, es una pena que este descuidado.

nice apartment, well situated. Id recommend.
Review submitted by Antoine from Paris (Submitted: 30 Nov 2010)
The property was excellent value for money especially for larger groups (4 people ?). It was surprisingly big, and the pricing justifies the not-so-good shape of the flat itself (then again, the brits have a weird conception of comfort). As a single traveller, this alternative to a hotel was maybe not the best choice (no towels or soap available in the flat etc...), but for longer stays of above a couple nights, I am likely to come back. And for larger groups, this is a strong alternative.

Lappartement était très bien situé, conforme à lannonce. Nous avons pu visiter tout ce que nous souhaitions, lavantage étant que nous étions tout près dune station de métro reliant la majorité des lignes. Parfait pour une semaine à 4 adultes, lappartement nous a satisfait et nous le recommanderions à des amis.

Review submitted by AGUDO from ANGELA (Submitted: 16 Apr 2010)
Hola a todos:
Acabamos de pasar una estupenda semana en Londres en el apartamento de Kensington Olimpia. La situación era muy buena con dos paradas cercanas de metro y muy comunicada también con bus. El barrio muy tranquilo y muy agradable, todo con casitas bajas y con el estilo muy inglés. Espacio suficiente para 4 personas. Tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días, aunque negativo tengo que señalar que la calefacción era escasa. Las eléctricas no funcionaban y el apartamento se quedaba muy frío, hemos tenido que tener mucho tiempo conectada la calefación pequeña de aire, bastante incómoda. He de recalcar que nos ha tocado una semana muy fría, con bajas temperaturas y mucha lluvia. Quizás esto en otra época no sería tan notable.

Good value for money in London. Good reception. Very very quiet area, days and nights. Near Holland Park for children. Very close to Olympia exhibition hall. Close to underground station Olympia and bus 10 to the center (oxford circus) and to stations of San Pancrass and Kings cross.

I do really recommend this holiday rental. Apartment is clean, calm and well-located : Shepherds bush station on central line allows to go to the town center quickly.

Review submitted by Martino from Milano Italia (Submitted: 16 Jun 2009)
Chi già conosce lo standard di molte abitazioni inglesi non baderà alla scarsa qualità degli infissi e degli arredi ma apprezzerà questo appartamento perchè silenzioso, vicino ad una importante linea della metropolitana, sufficientemente completo nelle attrezzature di cucina, gestito da un proprietario gentile e disponibile.

Quite near to the underground station. Quiet and safe. Just that the washing machine is not working. The owner is friendly and helpful.

très beau quartier et calme. appartement tout confort et commodités. métro à proximité pour se rendre à tous coins de Londres rapidement.
Review submitted by Catherine from Toulouse (FRANCE) (Submitted: 23 Feb 2009)
The apartment was okay, well situated but a little cold (the eating was not powerfull enough for the two rooms). When we had a problem (no light in the bathroom) it was solved very quickly.
Review submitted by AGUSTI from VALENCIA SPAIN (Submitted: 19 Sep 2008)
The quarter is very nice and calm. The apartment is near the underground and its equipment is correct.
Review submitted by Simón from Zaragoza (Submitted: 6 Apr 2008)
our holidays were perfect.
The value of money was good.
the description in de web was good and we found what we expected.
If we had to go again we would book the same place.
The fourth day we were there it started to come water out of the bathroom celing, we supose it was from our top neighbours.
In conclusion, we were really satisfied with the service.
Yours Faithfully.

el apartamento en lineas generales esta bien,centricamente situado en una zona muy tranquila y bastante bien comunicado con lineas de metro y buses muy cerca del apartamento.la casa en si es pequeña pero acojedora,bastante limpia y con una cocina bastante bien equipada lo cual es muy de agradecer teniendo en cuenta lo caro que es comer fuera en londres,aun asi detalles como por ejemplo la falta de productos fundamentales como por ejemplo papel higienico desmerecen un poco el resultado final.en definitiva creo que es una buena opcion de alojamiento para los que quieran pasar unos dias en la preciosa londres.

Alloggio piccolo ma confortevole e pulito, in quartiere tranquillo, ben collegato e molto gradevole. Una sistemazione ottima per un soggiorno a Londra di qualche settimana.
Review submitted by Candy from Katy, Tx (Submitted: 11 Jun 2007)
The flat was really fine, nothing extraordinary. Originally felt that it would be cheaper than a hotel, but after numerous extra charges (which I'll admit were most likely spelled out..), it really was not a bargain at all. There were extra charges for less than 7 nights ($200 USD, cleaning fees, etc. By the time all was said and done the cost was $230 USD/night. It was not worth that much. By the time I made my non-refundable deposit, it was too late to change. The owners were receptive & there when we arrived, really no problems there. It's close to two tube stations, so if you are going to be there a week or so, it might be worthwhile. You might want to bring your own towels, as there were 4 hand size towels for 4 of us. No toilet paper, paper towels or soap.
Owner reply:
The total cost is clearly shown before any booking and there are no secret extra charges.
Apartments are expensive in high season.
The number of towels availbel in the apartment have been increased.
Review submitted by Oliver from Muenster, Germany (Submitted: 4 Dec 2006)
I was told that accomodation in London would be very expensive, if you want to have clean beds, or just expensive, if you can put up with a bed bug or two. We didn't expect much and we got more than we asked for; but we didn't find any insects.
We chose this appartment, because it was cheap and because it had enough space for three persons. The bathtub and the kitchen were two more things, which convinced us to rent it.
We arrived at Saturday morning at the Olympia Station and, after a short walk, we were greeted by the owner, who showed us the appartment and who told us were we could find the nearest shop (a small shop a few steps away from Olympia Station) and the mall (a ten minute's walk at Shepherd's Bush Station). The apartment was clean, tastefully furnished (a Scandinavian furniture store comes into mind) and the beds were soft - we loved it.
In the following seven days of our stay in London we enjoyed the silence (it's a quiet part of London), the bathtub and the sofa. We didn't use the kitchen much (with the exception of the fridge). Sometimes we didn't have enough hot water for the three of us - it's an old house after all.
If you don't know if you should take a hotel room or the apartment: Take the apartment. It has plenty of space, nice neighbours, it's quiet and it feels like home everytime you return from your trips to the city.
Review submitted by Estival from Paris (Submitted: 30 Sep 2006)
It 's a very quiet and pleasant appartement, no far away from most of central attractions and easy to reach with bus and underground. The only point which could be improve : It's a little expensive when you want to stay only 2 or 3 nights (it is not the same for a week). But when i come back to London, I will not hesitate to book it again.

Well situated, quite calm. Within walking distance to two subway stations, excellent bus connection. Suitable rather for a family with 2 children than 4 adults.
Ferienwohnung ist schon i.O., wirklich ruhig gelegen, auch nicht zu weit weg von den Attraktionen. Zu empfehlen.

First floor flat in central location. Small but well laid for 4 persons to live in comfort. close to tourist attractions. There are plenty of shops to buy groceries, take aways, pubs .. etc and very close to transport. Very quiet flat, has one double bed and one double sofa bed in the reception and the kitchen is very equipped. Owner was very pleasant and helpful; waited for us despite our plane being 3 hours late. I would recommend this flat for holidays in London.

Der Hauseigentümer war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns praktische Erstinformationen vorbereitet gehabt. Die Wohnung ist zwar klein, aber trotzdem ist es mit 4 Personen problemlos zu belegen, da sehr gut angelegt. Auch die Lage ist hervorzuheben, da in einer typischen Wohngegend und trotzdem sehr zentral gelegen. Interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten sind mit der U-Bahn einfach zu erreichen. Insgesamt eine schöne Art um Zeit in London zu verbringen. Werden wir nicht das letzte Mal genützt haben.

The apartment is very good located, in a walking distance from two underground stations and not far from downtown London. It is clean and good equipped. The owner was extremely friendly and helped a lot with useful information. He gave us even a city map. We strongly recommend the flat.
