Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in South Kensington, Greater London

We had an amazing stay at this lovely Airbnb in London! The location is truly superb. Just a short walk to the vibrant and artistic Portobello Road Market, surrounded by plenty of great eateries. Public transport is also very convenient, making it easy to get around the city. A special mention goes to Makan, a Malaysian restaurant just 5 minutes away on foot, delicious and highly recommended! The host was exceptional... Very kind, attentive, and always ready to help. His hospitality made us feel completely at home, and we were truly comfortable throughout our stay. It felt more like staying at a friend’s place than a rental. Thank you for the warm welcome and excellent service! Highly recommended & we’d love to come back again!

Absolutely perfect and worth every penny. The apartment in stunning and the location couldn't have been more ideal. Live out all of your Notting Hill rom-com dreams and don't delay booking Kenza's place.

Really great flat. Larger than shown in pics. Everything we needed for a home away from home. Will definitely return.

Alma was a terrific host. Kind, consistently responsive and provided a first class instruction video 👍🏻 The flat was on a quiet peaceful street that was a two minute walk to the vibrant Upper Street. A short walk to the tube and surrounded by many great restaurants, pubs and shopping. I’ll be back ! Thanks Alma

Great location and good size apartment for London. The floor plan is a little quirky but gives you the true London experience. Would definitely go back!

This place was amazing! So much space in all the living areas and was a great experience being in a Victorian flat. We will definitely be back if we're ever visiting London again.

The location was fantastic for exploring London. Everything was easily accessible and the neighborhood was safe. The apartment was clean and enough room for my family of 5. The host was extremely responsive when we had questions.

Great location to explore East London and welcoming space. The outdoor area is great on sunny days! The host was very responsive and regularly checked in with me, which I really appreciated. That said, there were a few things that affected my comfort during the stay. When I arrived, there were a few issues (e.g. marks and hair on sheets and I needed to change them myself). Adrien did his best to address them, which I appreciated. Something to be aware of: the property is right next to a railway line, which can be noisy, and there’s a camera in the living room that I wasn’t told about until after check-in (you can disconnect it but it made me feel uncomfortable).

Great house in a very handy location in Earlsfield. Anokhi was really friendly and helpful showing us round :) There were some lovely extra touches. Comfy bed and spacious room, some black out curtains would make it perfect though!

The apartment is very convinient and clean, it had everything we needed and more. The location is really good, near many bus stops and a tube station. We were delighted to find out our room had access to the sunny garden :) we also had access to the washing machine and dishwasher. Highly recommend!! We really enjoyed our stay in this homey apartment.

Practical and well equipped apartment with a beautiful garden located in a charming and quiet neighbourhood. Great support and communication from Daisy throughout the stay.

Absolutely beautiful, loved every minute of our stay and a Katie couldn’t have been more lovely or helpful. Can’t wait for our return trip! X

This was the first experience of London for some of my foster children and it was a wonderful location for them to explore London. The buses and tubes were so easy to navigate and we were in central London within 20 minutes. The area is amazing and really busy with everything you need on your doorstep. We loved Shoreditch Park for the dog and the amazing pancakes and smoothies at Bobo and Wild coffee shop. I slept in the rooftop bedroom, we had hot weather, 32 degrees one day, so I slept with the doors fully bolted open and it was lovely and cool at night. Laying on the sunbeds and watching the world go by was so relaxing. We all loved every minute of our holiday and would definitely stay here again. The place is truly amazing, spacious and relaxing. Philippe is a great host who always responded quickly.

Had a wonderful stay. Nice touches left for us in the kitchen to start our weekend. Beautiful home and very friendly and communicative. Felt right at home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

We stayed here twice, for one month each. John is truly a super host. He is very clear, extremely responsive, and very courteous. The flat is kept clean, neat and clutter-free, with clever storage space. It is also located very near railway stations, bus stops, and the splendid Battersea Park. There are many convenience shops nearby. This is now our number 1 flat in London on airbnb. Thank you, John!

Great place to stay, would definitely recommend. Very clean, spacious, well-decorared and there was everything we needed for our stay. Also, great communication from host.

Very amazing place. Made our trip perfect. I can't just talk like a chat. 1. Location The first place on my long trip was in the heart of London. When this was London, I found another London in the second home. I thought it was all about London's wonderful old-fashioned buildings, but I could see the future of London's new, new skyscrapers and modern buildings. The very beautiful view of London from the high floor and the twinkling lights at night are very romantic And, the train is just 1 minute away, so you can go to the center of the city in 15 to 20 minutes. Also, there is a grocery store on the first floor, so you can shop very conveniently. 2. Inside The interior is really spacious, relaxing, and has everything. It has a very comfortable and comfortable bed, a spacious and clean bathroom with a bathtub, a microwave air fryer, and a dish dryer, and all the condiments and even delicious cocoa. It was stable and very convenient, and it increased the satisfaction of the trip. Above all, the host is the best. When I had a little problem, he handled things so reliably. I am a skilled and peaceful assistant. This place was a great trip to make my trip enjoyable. I was able to understand London widely at Canary Wharf, which is close to 2 stops.

We loved our stay here. The balcony was so peaceful which made it a great place to start and end our day. The neighborhood is very quiet, four bodegas just down the street, nice park, and an awesome pub, the Carlton Tavern a few blocks away. The location to the underground made it super convenient to get anywhere. Yasar was great and met us at check-in to show us around.

Perfect apartment for my weekend away. I was on a trip for a course and Luana’s apartment was in a great location - 2 mins from the station. Very comfortable!

Very acommodating host, got some fans for us during a hot stay in the summer. Answers fast and helpful, area is great close to many reataurants, bars and shops as well as the station for further travel into London.

Everything was perfect!

I stayed in Ari's apartment for five nights in December, and I would love to come back. The apartment is spacious with a good view, but still quiet and peaceful. The living room is very comfortable for resting and relaxing, and the balcony felt like a fabulous extra room. The heating and air conditioning was very responsive, and I was comfortable throughout my trip, which included a few very cold days. Ari is a fantastic host who worked with my schedule -- even with a few last minute changes on my end. This is a great place to stay if you're planning to work in or walk around Shoreditch or City of London, or need to be near Liverpool Street Station or the Northern Line.

Great location in central London - close to lots of cafes, restaurants, pubs. Easy access to public transport - buses and the London Tube. Very nice walking neighborhood. Benedict was responsive and very helpful in answering questions and making suggestions. Enjoyed our 4-night family holiday.

Hasan's flat was absolutely perfect for my stay. It is very well located within a 1 minute walk to Tottenham Hale Underground or Train Station, offering easy access to either central London or Stansted airport. The apartment itself was spotless, modern, spacious, and had all amenities supplied. I felt very comfortable in the apartment immediately. Hasan was also a very communicative and friendly host. He is personable and ensured I had a pleasant stay with a smooth check-in experience. I would highly recommend staying in Hasan's flat and would happily stay again.
