Halfway between the luxury shopping opportunities on Kings Road and the world-famous museums of South Kensington, this home is a perfectly-situated West London escape (there's a tube station just a few minutes away if you're itching to explore other neighbourhoods). There's more space than you'd expect from its humble, cottage-like exterior and space-saving features like the twisty spiral staircase only add to the charm. While the living room might be a little snug with four guests, there's more than enough space in the kitchen and dining room for dinner parties – which are bound to turn into evening drinks on the private patio.

Home truths
There’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out house viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
Access to the bedroom floor is via a steep spiral staircase, so guests with reduced mobility should take care and children supervised at all times.
This home faces a main road, so you may hear some traffic noise. Light sleepers might want to opt for the bedroom overlooking the patio.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
Your host asks you to respect quiet hours between 9pm and 9am.
