Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We're smitten with this family home in West Kensington. Not only is it super stylish, but the bespoke skylights flood the entire kitchen with natural light. There's also a quaint garden for summertime sundowners and barbecues. This home does have some minor drawbacks, though – the third bedroom is only ideal for children, and next door is a pub, so noise is likely. The bright side? You won't have to travel far for a pint. And, speaking of location, neighbourhood eateries are within striking distance, while many of London's iconic landmarks can be reached via the nearby Tube. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
