"Great Apartment! Fabulous location! Everything was brilliant! Thanks for your hospitality (smiley face!)."

"We chose this flat for our family of two parents, and three young adult children (plus a young adult nephew) because of its prime location in a safe, quiet, residential are of Kensington. We were not disappointed. First, as to the location, what could be better? We were two blocks from a bakery, three blocks from a great little coffee shop, five blocks to the tube and Herrods, and four blocks from the grocery store and several atms. We enjoyed the Indian restaurant located only about a block from the front door and spent several visits at the neighborhood pub, the Clipper, only two blocks away. Indeed, our kids would often want to head to the pub for beer in the evening. With it being so close, we were comfortable having them do that without us. The proximity to virtually everything made this an ideal rental for us. Still we were on a quiet street with very little traffic. The home itself was perfect for our family. We needed the three bedrooms which accommodated the six of us well. The three bathrooms allowed all of us get ready for the day quickly, although the water closet on the lowest level of the home is pretty small. It is challenging to get dressed in the bathroom after a shower. We enjoyed the parlor or living room assembling there before leaving for the day or leaving for meals. A spacious kitchen and eating area is located in the lowest level of the home. Honestly we did not use that much. We made coffee and tea there in the morning, we cooked a few eggs and toasted bread for breakfast. But we did not make good use of the kitchen. Still it was available, so for those inclined to have a few meals at home, it would work well. The availability of great restaurants walking distance to the flat was an important feature for us. We like seeing sites during the day, eating lightly in the morning at noon, and finding a better dining option near our temporary residence at night. The location of this Kensington flat was perfect for that."

"The Walton was an outstanding experience. The apartment was lovely, comfortable and very well equipped. The location was superb. The arrangements for our arrival and departure spot on. It had a very well equipped kitchen which we did not use very much. The information about the apartment and London was an added bonus. A guide was recommended and Vicky was super. All in all it was an excellent experience and I would definitely use them again."
Steven L Ablon, Massachusetts, United States
"Thank you so much for a wonderful week at 'The Walton'! Our first trip to London will not be our last. Looking forward to next summer already but we are very sorry to leave. We hope you will have us back in 2013."

"We had a lovely week in this exceptional home. A great location and so comfortable to celebrate our grandson's 13th birthday."

"The Gloucester was a great apartment for our family of 3 kids (including 1 infant). The location on the garden square was beautiful and was close to all the amenities and transport one would need. The street was quiet and the apartment had cable and enough room for us all to relax, my kids loved the bunk/trundle bed! Ann was very helpful and it was great to have a contact so close by. My family and I had a wonderful visit and would definitely stay there again."
Heather Shrimpling, MA, United States

"Thank you for a lovely home from which to experience London. We loved the neighborhood feel after a busy day exploring the city!"
EHB Spencer & Sydney, USA
"Thank you for a wonderful stay in the beautiful Walton house. Everything was 'perfect'! We love the house, the neighborhood and being able to experience London from your home. We all loved having so much space compared to staying in a hotel. Many thanks."

"The most comfortable accommodation we have ever experienced in London. Quiet, warm, close to food shops and transport. Enjoyed the da Vinci and Hocking exhibitions. Looking forward to future stays if available."

"We have returned home after a simply wonderful week in London. We loved the Queensgate apartment. What a clever use of space! It was very comfortable for the two of us and we got the hang of the stairs right away. Your restaurant recommendations were great. We loved both Clark's and L'etranger...delicious dinners at both. We'd also like to recommend to you a shop for prepared food....Ottolenghi....on Holland Street right off of Kensington Church Street. I was given one of his cookbooks as a gift and was very excited to learn that he had a store close to the apartment. We brought a delicious dinner in on Tuesday night to have before going to the London Symphony. A fabulous finale to the week! We are already talking about 2013....will it be the Queensgate in London again, or back to the Grenache apartment in Paris? We'll let you know as soon as we know ourselves. P.S. The only thing we couldn't fine in the apartment was a set of demi-tasse cups for the Nespresso machine. We looked everywhere! The washing machine worked great!"

"We had a genuinely wonderful time staying in the Walton. It was perfectly located a nice stroll or short cab ride away from anything we wanted to see. The attention to detail was lovely and everything, including guide books and a map of the local area was exactly where we needed it."
The Van der Horsts, Australia
"My 19 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Queen's Gate. We couldn't have stayed in a better location and the apartment was lovely. It had everything we needed and the booklet of information came in very handy. We tried many of the suggested restaurants and enjoyed all of them. We liked being able to walk out the door and walk in any direction to get to many restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. We didn't make a lot of use of the kitchen but it was nice to have the facilities on the few days that we just wanted to grab a bite to eat between excursions. We highly recommend booking Lushi for your ride from the airport. It was nice to speak with a local upon arrival and he was very courteous and friendly. We hope to stay at the Queen's Gate again during out next visit to London."
Teresa D, Canada
"We were extremely pleased with the flat. The location was outstanding - close to the subway, stores, restaurants, parks and museums. The flat was beautifully decorated, very clean and had everything we needed including loads of information about London and our neighbourhood. Our only suggestion would be to ensure there is enough dish detergent, hand soap and toilet tissue for guests for a one week stay. My husband and I and our 12 year old daughter would definitely rent this flat again and we will most certainly recommend London Perfect to others traveling to London. I wish we had known about your rentals in Paris as the place we rented from another company was not nearly as nice as our Queen's Gate home."
Elaine & Rick J, Canada
"We enjoyed the Queens Gate apartment very much. It had everything we needed and was delightfully decorated. The stairs were a bit tricky, but other than that, it was great. Close to the tube and lots of places were within walking distance. Madelyn sent us tons of helpful information and we were able to use our iPad with the WiFi access. Loved it!"
Chris & Julie Cross, USA
"This is a lovely flat in a fantastic location. Two tube stops within extremely easy walking distance (5 min)and black cabs pass frequently. The loft is exactly as depicted on the website - clean, compact, and perfect for a vacation stay. The linens are great (towels are John Lewis), and even shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer are supplied! Security is also good. I will definitely stay here again, and will recommend it to friends. I will also recommend Lushi's car service for transport to and from Heathrow - how wonderful to be picked up at the door and not have to haul bags on a train!"
Kris, Nebraska, United States
"We cannot recommend the Queen's Gate Studio Loft enough. Beautiful furnishings in London's best neighborhood. Just across the street from the Natural History Museum and a few blocks from Kensington Gardens. We will definitely stay here when we return to London. Loved the kitchen and bath, free wifi, comfy bed, great customer service. We felt like real Londoners staying here!"
Gabe and Jenny Resendez, Florida, United States
"Although small, this immaculately clean and well-appointed apartment never felt cramped. Sleek, modern furniture and fixtures combine well with elegant ceiling and wall paintings in keeping with the building's refined history. Excellent neighborhood always felt safe. Book containing instructions for appliances, suggestions for shopping in the area, and guidance on transportation most helpful. Welcome gift of wine quite nice, as was Madelyn's warm greeting on arrival. We would stay again!"
