Home truths
The master bedroom ensuite is noticeably bigger than the second bathroom
Special mention to the heavy packers and young families - there are quite a few steep stairs within this home
While there is Apple TV - this is as far as this home goes in terms of entertainment options
Broadband surfers beware - the wifi is much slower than we'd like it to be
If you're lucky enough to be over six foot you'll need to watch your head - the ceilings by the stairs are pretty low

Local guide
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.
