Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
This is a studio apartment, so the sleeping and living areas share the same open space. It works well for solo travellers or couples, but feels compact if you're a group of four.
Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.

About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
