Set over three floors, this house in Battersea provides plenty of space to get comfy in London. It has a kitchen with room to cook or have breakfast (handy during a longer stay), along with a small study where you can catch up on work. There’s a patio too, so when the forecast is favourable you can end the day with drinks outside. And beyond the front door, you’ll find lots to keep you busy. Like picnics and play dates in Battersea Park, or a stroll along the Thames Path to see more of the city.

Home truths
This home is set over three floors, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
