Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This sophisticated apartment fits right in with its swish Chlesea postcode. You'll find it just a short stroll from the Thames, putting many of the neighbourhood's trendy cafes and bars within striking distance. It works well for couples and solo travellers, and though not the biggest, the design is impeccably sleek. You can perch at the breakfast bar with a coffee or glass of wine – it also doubles as a desk if you plan to work remotely – while the minimalist interiors, especially in the bedroom, provide the perfect retreat after a busy day exploring London. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
