Special Features
Gloucester
by Susan WarringtonVery spacious flat. Perfect for our multi generational visit to London. Fully outfitted kitchen, lots of games to entertain all. The half bath had a flushing lever that was out of the wall, so that toilet was unusable. The bath/shower combo in two of the bathrooms have no shower curtains, so lots of spilled water when showering. Excellent location in Kensington. Minutes from Gloucester Road Underground station. Also close to Waitrose, Oddbins, and Whole Foods.
Thank you Susan, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We sincerely apologize for the flushing lever that was out of the wall, we are sorry you didn’t contact the London onsite team, they would have attended to it. We hope to welcome you again!
Christmas 2021 (Covid and all!)
