Located just north of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, this sleek home makes a great first impression. Blending vintage charm and contemporary style, the art on the walls and double-height ceilings exude comfort. There's space to sit out on the cosy terrace with a drink or a light lunch, and you're never far from something to do when the mood strikes.

Home truths
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Paddington Station is less than ten minutes away on foot, along with the Lancaster Gate Underground Station which is served by the Central Line.

For stays of a week or longer, weekly housekeeping and bedding changes will be provided for free.
