The design Museum is a couple minutes walk away, exhibiting great art & design. Holland park and the Japanese gardens is a must see for beauty and tranquility. Holland park also hosts outdoor opera and theatre - not to be missed!

Our favourite local pub, The Scarsdale Tavern, is 3/4 minutes walk away, and full of British charm with outdoor heated seating with trees. The Abingdon, another classic, and many more.

There are supermarkets within 3 minutes walk, a local small Sainsbury and huge Tesco with everything. Wholefoods is a 15 minute walk and Waitrose 7 minutes.

Use of the sofa bed to be requested in advance. Incurring a one off set-up/set-back & linen hire fee of £53. Linens are not stored in the property.

As designers, we fell in love with the light and nature in the living room. The sofa bed is in the living room and we placed voile curtains on the ceiling that let some light through, with one part exposed to see the sky. We have eye masks, though do also bring your own. There is an additional oil radiator on the side of the sofa bed. The experience of waking up in this room is so beautiful, immersed in nature and one we hope you enjoy as much as we do.

There is a car parking space on site, but this has to be reserved separately using the Just Park application. Let us know once you reserve and we will send you the link to book your spot directly.

Great location

We stayed at the property for a week, exploring London with our two children. The location is great, on a quiet residential street between Kensington High Street and Earl's Court, with convenient access to shops, buses and Tube stations. We loved the private patio, which forms a natural extention of the flat and is a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Amazing Place to Stay

The place surpassed all expectations! The apartment's prime location near High Street Ken and Hyde Park was unbeatable. Inside, it was immaculate and comfortable, with an enchanting garden providing a serene escape. The host's hospitality was exceptional, making us feel like old friends. A true gem in London—we can't wait to return

The host is professional and prompt. It was lovely having the garden. Even though it was winter, the view of it from inside gave a feeling of more space. The flat is spacious. Shower water is hot. Bed was comfortable.
