Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South Kensington, Greater London

This is such a cute place within walking distance to the main shops and restaurants on Kings Street in Chelsea. Amazing location and a charming place. The host was very responsive and we appreciated his flexibility. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay with Karen and Nick. Everything was exactly as shown in the photos and described on Airbnb. They were incredibly friendly and empathetic hosts. We slept like we were in the clouds – the bed was soft and cosy. The bathroom was spacious and modern, with fresh towels provided every other day. Our room was cleaned regularly, with fresh water, coffee, and milk replenished daily. We can wholeheartedly recommend Karen and Nick’s accommodation to anyone. Hope to see you again soon!

We LOVED our stay at Giampaolo's- He and Emma were super helpful and communicative. Its a lovely little home. I felt very safe, and it was very convenient to get to any place you need to go via the Tube. I would 1000% stay there again if I go back to London! Just a few things to note for future travelers: -If you love a firm bed then master bed is your best friend-- if not, the sofa downstairs makes a good alternative. :-) -If you are from the US don't think "hot tub" - it a lovely, large bathtub with hot water but not a "hot tub" as we in the US would think (didn't need to pack the swimsuit. :-). -The interior steps are tight and a bit steep if you have knee issues please be aware of that - Emma and Giampaolo are great, you will be in good hands with them!!

Josephine and Richard are truly wonderful hosts. They respected my privacy while also being incredibly helpful with my tour planning. I felt completely relaxed—almost as if I were their daughter. Meeting such amazing hosts was one of the highlights of my trip to London. When I return to London, I’m sure I’ll stay with Josephine again!

All around a great place. The area is really nice and is just far enough from the busy area to be nice and calm but also just close enough to busier areas that it is just a few minute walk to restaurants, Whole Foods, etc. Would stay here again, great place.

We loved our stay with Annie, Andrew and Stanley and would love to come back. The house has been lovingly restored and is beautifully decorated and furnished. We so enjoyed the delicious made to order breakfasts every morning that kept us going until dinner time. Stanley greeted us whenever we came and went and was a welcome surrogate for our own pup at home. The location is perfect - a short walk from the tube station and immediately across the street from beautiful Bishop’s Park. We truly can’t say enough about the Egmont Lodge and the warm welcome we received. Thank you so much Annie and Andrew.

Amazing spot! Thanks Sylvan! Easy to commute into central London and lovely neighborhood. Cozy and charming room. Would definitely book again.

Highly recommended! They were so nice and warmly helpful to me, even though I was a bit nervous at first. You won’t regret choosing this place. Great location, bright room, welcoming hosts, and a lovely dog. Thank you very much!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hussain’s flat on Redcliffe Gardens! From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. So much so that by day two, my sister and I were already saying, “Let’s head home” after a day of sightseeing. The flat is warm, welcoming, and truly comfortable. The location is fantastic. It is tucked in a quiet, more residential area (Kensington-Chelsea), yet just a short walk to restaurants, shops, the Tube, and bus stops. We felt completely safe walking around. One of the unexpected perks was how quiet the bedrooms were since they’re located at the back of the flat, away from street noise (all streets in London are busy), which made for peaceful sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped for our style of travel, we love cooking breakfast, having lunch or tea out, then enjoying something light in the evening. Hussain was a wonderful host being attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time at this flat. It was clean, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was cozy, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The location is fantastic, just a 1-minute walk to the tube, making it super convenient to explore the city and the area itself is great as well! We would definitely come here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I can’t recommend Tamara’s place enough! Every inch of space has been well thought out and designed to accommodate you comfortably. The decor is beautiful and very cosy. Everything was spotless. Well equipped kitchen and extremely comfy bed! Very well located to the subway and key collection store. We don’t often return to the same air bnb but we absolutely would to this one!

Location! Location! Location! A two block walk to the tube and buses everywhere, restaurants galore, walking distance to V&A and Natural Museum, this flat is a gem. When we booked this flat, I misunderstood that my two adult kids would need to agree who would take the bed and the other the airmattress, but for us, it didn't matter because by the time we arrived in London, our son who was just moving to the London area when we booked, had a place to stay and didn't need to stay with us... But this flat was quiet with nice views of the activity outside, and a great place for us to come together with our take out meals... Lia anticipated questions we might have and answered them before we could ask... if anything, I would recommend a guest book, where we can talk about the great restaurants we visited, giving future guests ideas for their own travels in the neighborhood. We would come back to stay here in a heartbeat! Thank you.

Gioia's flat is lovely and full of beautiful light and comfy modern furnishings that made it a very pleasant place to return to after trekking around to all of the cool sights (20-30 min walk to so many cool museums and Kensington Park, 10 min walk to the london underground (which gets you anywhere!). The neighborhood feels safe and so pretty with plenty of good restaurants, a grocery store, and many good cafes right around the corner from the flat. It's the perfect place to refresh and enjoy London. Gioia was super responsive and helpful the entire time. It was a great experience. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great time at Christos and Stelios. The location of the apartment is ideal for visiting London on foot, by bike and even by tube. The neighborhood is very friendly with good restaurants and local shops. The apartment is very easy to access and is in a beautiful building. Everything was perfectly clean and tidy and matched the description on the listing page. As for our hosts, they were very responsive and friendly. In short, we highly recommend this place and will definitely come back here if we have to come back to London.

Our host was very friendly, good communication and very thoughtful. We were late in arriving and a very early check out which Fiona accommodated easily. Lots of good recommendations on hand. Felt like a home away from home. Nice touches with breakfast condiments. Thank you!! Vicki and Eoin

Lovely Flat perfect for one person or a Couple. Only a few suggestions would be to supply laundry detergent few more amenities that would make the stay easier. The addition of a full length mirror would also be beneficial. The front window that can lots of light, however because it was right on the street, you felt very exposed

Well appointed and comfortable apartment. Would happily stay again. Easy to get to Kensington High Street or Shepherds Bush.

Top studio and great host! No issue and felt like my own home due to the easy access and clear instructions. Extended one night without extra effort so that was a plus too. Would recommend this studio and the hosts properties. 👍🏽

Such a great place to explore London from. Beautiful neighborhood; good walking and food options and quick walk to metro to get to the center of London!

I stayed here on a vacation trip to London. Yaa could not have been more friendly. She always responded immediately to any questions prior to my arrival. She even reached out to ask what type of water, milk, and wine I preferred so she could ensure things were available prior to my arrival. The place was very nice. Clean, well designed, and quiet. Very walkable to the Underground. Note, the description is accurate when it says it is on an upper floor. And when you overpack like I do, you may have trouble getting up the stairs. (Completely my fault for packing too much, and it was clearly noted in the description.) If I am ever in London again, I would happily stay here again!

Great location, Mohammed was terrific!

Super stay at Amadeus’! Quaint garden flat in a great location, just a few minutes walk from Earls Court tube station. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was large with great water pressure! No complaints, we’d certainly come back.

Bottom Line Up Front: The location is fabulous. Earls Court is, of course, convenient to both branches of the District Line and to the Piccadilly line, which give you access to most of London. Flying into Heathrow? Just hop on the tube there and you carried quickly to Earls Court. We have done that multiple times. What sets this apart from other Earls Court flats is the specific location, backing straight onto the gorgeous Philbeach Gardens. Step out the back door and you are in a private park for residents only. The flat itself is spacious and comfortable, and at night dark and quiet. Hot water is hot and plentiful. The hosts responded quickly to concerns. We will be back.

Great location, not far from train. Lots of good bars and restaurants in the area
