Nice stay in Kensington, but with a few hiccups
Overall, our stay was good. This is someone's ACTUAL house, by the way - not the typical spot you see for rent so their clothes and such are there but that wasn't an issue. You just need to keep it in mind.
The place was spotless, there was enough seating for all of us, the beds were comfortable, the location is in a quiet cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood just a few blocks from one end of Hyde Park and a few minutes walk to a great pub (Hereford Arms), restaurants, and grocery stores.
It is quite a distance from a lot of the tourist spots - 2-3 miles from the palace, the eye, Piccadilly, etc. so generally you have to either cab or underground it to most places.
Our negatives with staying here were that there was no dish soap - so we had to go buy some and you'd think that would be one amenity included. The downstairs shower is only usable by very skinny people because of how the door opens so if you are even a little bit larger you can't use that shower. And our biggest issue was, not to be indelicate, but the constant smell of sewer? Garbage? Something that was coming up through the pipes I guess but every time you walked into the house you were just hit in the face with a really unpleasant pungent odor. I don't know if it's just sewer pipes that are really old or something else, but it was very off-putting.
