Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in Maida Vale, a central spot with lots to see and do right outside your door, this is an ideal base for sightseers and business travellers alike. It's just a short distance to Little Venice, Notting Hill, and Central London, with lots of public transport options to get you from A to B. The apartment itself is a second-floor walk-up with a private entrance – a rarity for a London flat – and is split across multiple levels, adding a sense of space and privacy. That said, at full capacity with one guest on the living room sofa bed and sharing the one en-suite bathroom, it may be less practical for longer stays.

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.
