Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
Space around the bed is a little tight in the second bedroom, but we think it'll suit those looking for a city stay.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
Your host provides portable air conditioning units and fans for warmer months.
While this home can sleep six guests, there’s only enough space for four around the dining table. That said, you’ll have your pick of some of London’s best restaurants on your doorstep.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

Local guide
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.
