Sitting on the third floor of a building in Bayswater, this apartment puts you moments from Queensway, a five-minute walk from Kensington Gardens, and just fifteen minutes from Notting Hill. The living room leans into comfort – Chesterfield seating, warm wooden floors, and curated artwork give it a grounded atmosphere that's a world away from the hustle and bustle outside your door. There's also a sleek kitchen if you fancy cooking at home, though with Bayswater's eclectic mix of eateries on your doorstep, we'd be tempted to dine out instead.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on roll-out beds in the living area. These can be made into a double bed if needed, though we think they're only suitable for children.
Well-behaved pets may be welcome to accompany you, with prior approval from your host.
Given the home's central location and proximity to two Tube stations, expect some street noise throughout your stay.
Parking in central London can be expensive and hard to find, so we recommend leaning on the excellent Tube links and public transport connections in this part of the city. Bayswater and Queensway stations are both within walking distance.
