Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living area with natural light, giving this London apartment an atmosphere that makes mid-century armchairs and a private balcony feel like an everyday luxury. The main bedroom carries the same warm, considered character – period London views included. Step outside and Kensington Gardens is a short walk away, making it an easy base whether you're after a morning run through the park or an afternoon exploring the neighbourhood. High Street Kensington's cafes, shops, and Tube station are also within strolling distance.

Home truths
Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The apartment is on the first floor, up one flight of stairs. There's also a lift in the building – it's tiny, but still handy for bringing up luggage.

About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
