Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just a few minutes' walk from Earl's Court and West Brompton stations, city explorers are well-served in this London home. With the host able to provide a cot, it's perfect for families, while the desk and fully-equipped kitchen mean it's ideal for longer stays. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area – as the French door doesn't have a blind, you'll probably want an eye mask. Without a lift, the climb up to this third-floor home is a bit of a workout, but we think the private roof terrace makes it worth it. Nearby are several trendy bars and cafes, while Gloucester Road Overground Station is half a mile away.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
