Situated on the top floor and overlooking the communal gardens, this penthouse apartment is hard to beat. Stylish decor and all the must-haves for unwinding ensure a cosy and inviting stay. The kitchen is a tad small but nonetheless well-appointed, and there's a private roof terrace where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the fresh air. Speaking of outdoor spaces, the cherry on top is access to the 3-acre garden square. It includes ample space for pets and little ones to run around. Take into account the location in leafy Little Venice, and this is an excellent choice for a family or group of friends.

About Maida Vale
Leafy Maida Vale is one of London's most sought-after residential areas and for good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC's Maida Vale studios means that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
