Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re searching for a cosy London apartment in an enviable location, it’s time to stop scrolling. Sure, this pad is on the smaller side, and while it can sleep up to four guests with two on the sofa bed in the living room, we think it’s tailor-made for two. The kitchen is only really suited for prepping light bites, but with a plethora of eateries on your doorstep, who wants to cook anyway? And, what it lacks in size it certainly makes up for in location. In the heart of South Kensington, Hyde Park, Kensington Palace and some of the city’s most iconic museums are a stone’s throw away.

Home truths
While this home can sleep four with two on a sofa bed in the living room, given the size, we think it's better suited to two.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a 'pack 'n play' travel cot.
The kitchen is small. We think it's best suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The small terrace area isn't fenced. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Given the location, you may hear some noise from the street and neighbouring apartments.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
