If you're looking for a true home away from home, this Maida Vale apartment might just fit the bill. The open living area has a homey design complete with a large dining table ideal for meals prepared in the kitchen. And while we think the rugs and classic furniture are slightly old-fashioned, they create a cosy space for post-exploration unwinding. Spread over three floors and with two flights of stairs up to the entrance, you'll be getting a mini workout here – though it's worth it for the extra space. To top it off, the location is great – you can reach Little Venice in a few minutes, while Warwick Avenue Tube Station is a few streets away.

Local guide
About Maida Vale
Leafy Maida Vale is one of London's most sought-after residential areas and for good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC's Maida Vale studios means that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
