Two main features make this excellently located Kensington home a great addition to the collection – one is the aforementioned location (a stone's throw from Hyde Park) and the other is your host, who truly encapsulates why homestays have become so popular, with her experience and infectious personality. The home itself has traditional and classic interiors, with a lovely collection of paintings. While the bedrooms are on a slightly lower ground, the rear garden lets in a welcome amount of natural light. Home truths: * This home is slightly lower than ground level, so it may not suit those who are looking for a great city view * The kitchen here is small and perhaps better described as more functional than luxurious
