Overview

First Impressions

Look, I’ll be honest — Stunning 3 bed 2 bathroom BASEMENT flat in earls court, London doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but don’t let the straightforward name fool you. This four-star place in London actually surprised me in all the right ways. Sure, it’s a basement flat, but whoever designed this space really knew what they were doing — it feels way more spacious and welcoming than you’d expect.

The Space That Works

The moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t your typical cramped London accommodation. The layout flows really well, with three proper bedrooms that actually fit real furniture (not just a bed crammed against the wall). The two bathrooms mean you’re not queuing up in the morning, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re traveling with friends or family. The main living area has this cozy feel that makes you want to hang out there rather than just crash after sightseeing.

Location Magic in Earl’s Court

Earl’s Court gets a bad rap sometimes, but I think people just don’t get it. You’re literally minutes from South Kensington’s museums — I mean, the V&A is practically a stroll away. The Earl’s Court tube station is right there, and you’ve got both the District and Piccadilly lines, so getting anywhere in London is pretty straightforward. What I really love about Penywern Road is that it’s residential enough to feel like you’re living in London, not just visiting it.

The Details That Matter

The kitchen setup is what really won me over — you can actually cook proper meals here, not just heat up instant noodles. There’s enough room to move around, decent counter space, and all the basics you need. The bedrooms have proper storage (shocking, I know), and the beds are comfortable enough that you don’t wake up feeling like you’ve been wrestling all night. The whole place stays surprisingly quiet considering you’re in central London — those thick walls really do their job.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating isn’t just luck — this place delivers on the practical stuff that actually matters when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. You get the space of a proper flat without the hassle of dealing with a traditional hotel’s restrictions. Plus, you’re saving money by being able to cook some meals at home, which adds up quickly in London. It’s perfect for families who need the extra space or groups of friends who want to hang out together without being on top of each other constantly.

"We had a lovely stay in this apartment. It was great to come back to after a full day of sightseeing."
Very close to tube Clean Spacious Great kitchen although we didn’t have time to cook with all the sightseeing we wanted to do. Refrigerator was great for chilling our bottled drinks though. Nice bathrooms
What could be improved: The steps to get into the apartment were very steep and irregular. Very difficult to get 50 lb luggage down steps.

"Great!"
It was very spacious and comfortable for our group of 4, with modern fittings & furnishing. Kitchen was fully equipped, so we had no problem cooking our meals. Was very clean & location is excellent, about 5min walk to Earl’s Court station. The host William, was very prompt with communication. We were also left some snacks when we arrived which was a nice touch! Definitely look forward to staying here again!
What could be improved: The property is a basement flat, so there are stairs leading down to it from the street. We couldn’t locate it easily as that wasn’t indicated.
