Donne Place Kensington
Description
LIVING & EATING
As you enter the home, you are greeted by the smart, bright living room, which leads through to the fully-equipped kitchen and dining area, and onto a small private patio garden. On the second floor of the house there is a further decked private roof terrace with table and chairs.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The home has three double bedrooms. The master bedroom on the second floor has a UK superking (6ft wide) bed, plentiful storage space, and is served by an adjacent bathroom which comprises of a bath rather than shower, whilst the first floor accommodates two further bedrooms, one with a UK king (5ft wide) bed, the second with a standard double (4ft wide) bed. A second, family bathroom is located between these two rooms, with a large shower stall, basin and WC.
LAYOUT & ACCESS
The home is accessed at street level and is set over three floors, with a central staircase between them. Please note that the underground runs to the rear of this property - the home is well insulated for sound and we’ve accommodated happy guests for many years here, but the home may not be suitable for those particularly sensitive to sound.
ON YOUR DOORSTEP
The location of this home is almost unbeatable. Tucked away on a small residential cul-du-sac road just behind the famous Walton Street, Michelin building and a mere five minutes' walk from the heart of the Kings Road, you are spoiled for excellent restaurants, boutique shopping and a world of culture within easy reach of this beautiful corner of South Kensington. The Natural History & Science Museums and V&A are very close by, and with South Kensington tube station just up the road, the West End (via the Piccadilly Line) and Houses of Parliament (via the District Line) are within very easy reach.

Donne Place is a well appointed gem in a great area. We loved the close proximity to wonderful boutique shops, great restaurants and historic pubs, and as well loved being able to walk to Harrods, the Royal Alberta & Victoria museum, Kensington Gardens and Palace and Sloane Square with the Saatchi Gallery. The layout, furnishings and amenities of Donne Place are ideal for relaxing after a long day. A previous reviewer warned about the noise from the Tube, but we were not bothered by the soft regular sound of train wheels on rails coming from beneath the house. All communications from Ivy Lettings were clear and helpful, making check-in simple and our stay straight forward. I highly recommend Donne Place and would gladly return.

I had a great experience with Ivy lettings, with a simple booking process and responsive follow-up to questions! The rental was ideal for our family. The location was unbeatable with a short walk to the Tube and tons of restaurants nearby (favorites were Cacciari's and Tapas Brindisa). The photos were very accurate and we appreciated how well-provisioned it was with basic supplies. This was also the cleanest vacation rental we've ever had! Reviews had mentioned some train noise from just behind the flat but it didn't bother us. It was so nice to feel like we were actually coming home after long days out in London.

We had a wonderful time. The house is lovely and bigger than I expected. Perfect for my husband, myself and our two grown daughters. The kitchen (very well equipped), as well as the bathrooms had been renovated. The bedrooms were a good size and the mattresses were comfortable. The outdoor space off the top floor looked nice with a table and chairs but it was too cold to sit out there. The location was excellent - hard to find better. A lovely quiet street that is close to so much and we walked most places. The management company was very responsive and helpful - when my daughter got sick, they recommended a few Dr’s close by. My only issue was the noise of the tube, to be fair I knew about it from other reviews and the listing. We got used to it plus we were out and about during the day. We had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to to rent the house again.

Convenient location for all the central London sights, easy walking distance to V&A and the Science Museum. Restaurants and shops all around for all your needs. The house is comfortable and generously stocked for easy meals at home. Appreciated the many small touches that made our home from home a win. 10/10 would rent again.

We visited London for a week with our two adult children. The townhouse was very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen contained everything we needed. The location was amazing with many restaurant options nearby. The subway line was very convenient and we rarely had to switch to another train. There was one show and one tub.

Loved the location - close to train, restaurants. The neighborhood is very upscale and we felt very safe. All of the rooms are spacious, comfortable, well equipped, and the kitchen is sun-filled. We used the dishwasher and washer/dryer. Great stay!

Absolutely lovely space! The price was lower than most for the holiday, so I was a little nervous, but it is an exquisite place to stay! The neighbourhood closes down a little in the evening, so, even with the gentle sound of the train just out back, it’s very quiet. Most of the local restaurants are pricey, and you’ll probably need reservations at peak times, so plan ahead a little more than we did. We loved walking to Harrods, we enjoyed the local pub, and there are two groceries within very easy walking distance. Probably the best rental we have stayed in! We took more cabs than we had planned, because it is quite a walk with the kids to the underground station, especially in the rain, or with a family that’s not used to city walking. But, the underground lines from the South Kensington Station are very convenient to most of the tourist destinations in London! Highly recommend!

Ivy’s team of professionals was outstanding, and promptly answered all our questions. We were met on-time at our flat when we arrived, and given a good “orientation “ tour of the home. Everything was as expected, in top condition, and ready for us. The flat was beautiful, completely remodeled and fully equipped. The location in Chelsea near the South Kensington Tube could not have been more convenient, and there were numerous pubs, restaurants, and a grocers within a 5 minute walk. Renting through Ivy completely changed our approach to London travel, and it will be our preferred method in the future.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay in this property. Clean and spacious bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen. Right in the midst of a fun shopping area with great selection of restaurants and cafes. Short walk to South Kensington Underground station. A/C would have been nice, as we were there during a hot summer week, but each bedroom has a good fan which helps. All in all, a lovely property.

The flat was just great for our family of 5. Fresh paint, clean interior, lots of gorgeous light coming in, and perfect location. The kitchen could be a little bit better outfitted with glasses and dishes...just a thought. We loved our time there!

My husband, myself and our three teenage children had a wonderful stay at Donne Place. We were meet there when we arrived to London and given a tour of the property. The location was perfect being only a 5 minute walk from South Kensington Tube. We felt very safe in this neighborhood. There were great restaurants close by as well as a market just a few blocks away. The property was very clean and had all that we needed. It was beautifully decorated and we were very comfortable staying here. We would definitely stay here again.
