Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Keen to be close to world-renowned museums? Then this home off Exhibition Road is just the ticket. In a matter of moments, you can be at the V&A, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum – all of which are on your doorstep. South Kensington Tube station is also minutes away, making this an ideal spot for adventures both near and far. Of course, the central setting lends itself to noise, and the bedrooms are particularly snug. But the living area is roomy and offers views of the street (it also has a sofa bed for two), the kitchen is well-appointed, and the location speaks for itself. We think it's the perfect balance between convenience and comfort.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
While the large beds make for a great night's sleep, they do feel a little big for the rooms. Space is limited in each bedroom, so we'd recommend travelling light.
If you’re travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot upon request.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This is a well-loved home, so expect some small signs of wear and tear.
Parking is tricky in London, so we suggest utilising public transport or exploring on foot instead of driving. South Kensington Station is just a short walk away, as are many cultural landmarks.
