In the heart of South Kensington, this mews home couldn't be better located. Morning strolls through Hyde Park, afternoon adventures at the Natural History Museum, evening meals at nearby restaurants – you'll be perfectly situated to do it all. Keen to explore further afield? Gloucester Road Underground station is a two-minute walk away and has excellent connections to the rest of London. Location aside, this home is cosy and practical. It's simple in design, but the fireplace and well-appointed kitchen are big perks. There are also four comfortable bedrooms and a covered courtyard. It's a fuss-free option in a fantastic neighbourhood.

Home truths
Well-behaved dogs may be welcome with prior approval from your host.
We think the living area is a bit small for eight people – there's only one sofa and six chairs around the dining table.
You'll have access to a small, internal covered courtyard here. You can access it via the bedroom.
Your host provides Dyson air coolers in each room.
Babes in arms and older children are welcome, but can't be left unattended near the balcony in the main bedroom. A cot and high chair can be provided upon request.
Three bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, and one is on the upper ground floor.
You won't need a car here, as Gloucester Road Underground station is a two-minute walk away. It has the District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines.
