Stratford Road Kensington
Description
LIVING & EATING
Step inside and enjoy the sense of space thanks to the high ceilings. The bright kitchen is fully equipped, and the open-plan living area is complete with a comfortable sofa and a large dining table to seat four. This area also looks out over the private terrace below. Ivy loves the option for al fresco dining, or simply catching some quiet downtime with a book.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The bedroom has UK double bed (4.5ft wide) and benefits from plenty of natural light through the large patio doors which lead out onto the newly renovated terrace. Two further guests can be accommodated on the sofa, on a per-request basis, which converts easily into a double sofa bed (4.6ft wide). The family bathroom is complete with shower over bath, basin and WC.
ACCESS & LAYOUT
This property is located on the upper ground floor, with access to the main entrance via a few steps. Once inside, you will find the living room and kitchen on the ground floor. The bedroom is down one flight of stairs and opens onto the terrace.
ON YOUR DOORSTEP
Your holiday rental is just an 8-10 minute walk from Kensington High Street Tube Station or Earls Court Tube Station so you will have quick and easy access to the whole of the city. There are many grocery stores, ATMs, coffee shops and restaurants all on the doorstep along the popular and thriving High Street Kensington.
A visit to Kensington Gardens is a must and is one of the capital's eight Royal Parks and home to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aka, William and Kate. Kensington Palace is at the heart of Kensington Gardens, and there is nothing better than a picnic in front of the palace. For your picnic food, head to the Whole Foods flagship store on Kensington High Street or the Marks & Spencer's food hall, just next door. Kensington High Street is one of London's most popular shopping destinations bursting with wonderful shops, cafes and restaurants and is usually less crowded than Oxford Street.
For superb dining, head to the Belvedere restaurant in Holland Park, or Il Portico - an upmarket Italian. To drink, the Kensington Wine Rooms have a wide and carefully chosen selection of wines and also offer nibbles and tapas. The waiters are charming and friendly and have a particular interest in South African wine (though there is plenty of European/ US wine too!) Alternatively, Kensington Roof Terrace has great cocktails, food and has an amazing rooftop garden.

Best option for renting a vacation flat in London. Great choice of properties, always top quality in terms of decor, style and location. We especially recommend it for the price to quality ratio (top location at a good price) and for the very friendly and attentive customer service. We have been using Ivy Lettings for many years and will continue to do so, and we recommend it to friends and family for their London stays.

Location, location, location. This flat on a quiet residential leafy street, is situated 7 mins from two tube stations. With the windows open you here...nothing! But at the end of the street, you can stop in to an italian coffee shop. An excellent pub is also within 5 mins walk. Various local shops provide exactly what you need

We had a wonderful stay over the holidays the flat is in an amazing location, easy to get everywhere. Having the bedroom downstairs allowed all of us to have some separate space which was great while traveling with our teenager. Will definitely stay here again

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment! It met our expectations. The space was clean and well-maintained, and we appreciated the fast and unlimited wifi. While we didn't use the kitchen or appliances, they were in good working order. The bathroom was also clean and provided us with hot water throughout our stay. The bedding was comfortable, although we prefer firmer mattresses and pillows. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed restful nights of sleep. The apartment's location was the best part for us. Tucked away on a peaceful street, it offered a serene and tranquil environment. Returning to the apartment felt like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary. The proximity to Earl's Court underground station made it incredibly convenient, and we were spoiled for choice with fantastic restaurants and convenient stores nearby. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The Ivy team does everything right. Excellent communication, professional management of reservations, consistency, and honestly. I will never go with another rental company. The Stratford Road property is a true gem. In a perfect location, clean, comfortable, and quiet. I never felt like I was a guest. I felt like I was home. I’ve had the very best experience with Ivy Lettings this summer. This is the first of three properties I’ve rented this year and I cannot be happier with my choice.

This Kensington flat is utterly charming . The sitting room is spacious and equipped with a large dining table which was excellent for me as it served as both a dining area and a place to do all my paperwork. The kitchen is compact and well appointed. This floor has a picturesque view of the terraced Victorian houses behind it with climbing rose and ivy over the back wall. The bedroom downstairs is quiet and spacious with a comfortable bed. This is a superb location with easy proximity to the underground and local bus lines and Hyde Park nearby.

Location was wonderful. The apartment exceeded our expectations. Picking up the key from the KeyNest location was incredibly easy; and an early let in time was arranged which was fantastic. We were referred to Ivy Lettings and the Stratford Road apartment by friends who have stayed there at least five times. We look forward to being back soon.

Stayed for 3 weeks at Stratford road property. The bathroom a little tired, but otherwise as expected. Fab location, well equipped, Ivy Letting service was exceptional, great communication, and provided everything we needed. Patio area could do with a bit of a tidy up but definitely would rent again

The location is a peaceful neighborhood which is incredibly well-located with a lot of very good restaurants and stores quite nearby. The flat itself is very pleasant as well--the little sitting area outside in the back is a quiet place to read. The kitchen table is a sturdy, comfortable place to work as well as eat.

This place is in a beautiful and quiet road with a lot of nice little shops around. It is only a few minutes walk away from bus and underground station. The house is a nice place for a family of three or four and the kitchen is fully equiped. We had a smooth check in and check out and a very pleasant stay. We would definitely choose here again. Thank you Guy and team for making things easy and for helping with the change of dates. Truly appreciated…

My friends and I had a great stay here although we weren't often in! The area is very quiet, but is still walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. This property is run by a letting service and was decently clean and orderly. When we needed some extra linen's they came promptly. We were welcomed with chocolates and a complete house manual. The sofa bed pulls out easily and was comfortable and very long so I imagine it would work well for two sleepers, but we just had one person using it. Note that while Kensington High Street is closest Tube, you are also very close to Earl's Court with plenty of good connections.

This was our first time using a website like this, and we will never go back to hotel stays. The extra space was excellent, we liked being able to cook for ourselves and relax in the lounge rather than just be stuck in one room the whole time.

This is a real find London! The location is great, close to the underground, restaurants, grocery stores, cafes and like. The photos of the flat are accurate. We coulddrop our bags earlier than the check-in time, which was extremely helpful.
