Number 53 – Stunning Maisonette with Parking in Kensington & Chelsea

Number 53 – Stunning Maisonette with Parking in Kensington & Chelsea Overview

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Number 53 on Marloes Road, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, London maisonettes can be hit or miss, you know? But this place actually surprised me in the best way. The moment you walk in, there’s this immediate sense that someone put real thought into making it feel like home rather than just another rental property. The space flows really well across its two levels, and I found myself appreciating little touches like the way the natural light hits the living area in the afternoons and how the kitchen actually has enough counter space to spread out if you’re planning to cook (which, let’s be honest, saves a fortune in London).

What really sold me on this spot was the parking situation – and if you’ve ever tried to park in Kensington, you’ll understand why this is basically gold. Having a guaranteed spot means you can actually explore beyond the immediate area without that nagging worry about where you’ll end up leaving your car at midnight. The location itself is pretty sweet too; you’re close enough to the High Street Kensington action that you can walk to the tube or grab dinner without planning an expedition, but Marloes Road itself stays surprisingly quiet. I stayed here during a busy summer week and never felt like I was dealing with the chaos that hits some of the main drags. You’ve got Hyde Park literally a few minutes’ walk away, which became my morning coffee routine – there’s something about having that green space so accessible that makes the whole London experience feel less overwhelming.

The maisonette setup works really well if you’re traveling with others since you actually have some separation between sleeping and living spaces, unlike those cramped hotel rooms where someone’s always in someone else’s way. I appreciated the thoughtful details – good Wi-Fi that actually worked for video calls, a washing machine (seriously underrated when you’re staying more than a few days), and enough storage that you can properly unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The whole place feels clean and well-maintained without being sterile, if that makes sense. Plus, the hosts seem to actually know the neighborhood – they left recommendations that felt personal rather than just generic tourist stuff. Look, it’s not the flashiest place you’ll ever stay, but sometimes what you want is somewhere that just works well and lets you enjoy London without any drama. If you need parking, want some space to breathe, and prefer staying somewhere that feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room, this place delivers on all counts.
