Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We really liked this home’s quintessential English style, making it a very cosy space. While it’s not filled with many modern amenities, the home benefits from a lived-in charm, meaning you'll also find a fully-equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms conducive to relaxing. It's an old home with period character, but this does mean that some of the finishes, while being in good condition, are a little dated. Just a five-minute walk from the King's Road and minutes from the river, this is an ideal location for those wanting a tranquil and upscale neighbourhood.

Home truths
The entrance to this home is on a first floor with no lift, and the home itself has four levels, so there's plenty of stairs here
While the home has an old style and period charm, this does mean you should also expect a few dated finishes and some minor wear and tear
The mattress is quite firm
The bathroom has a carpeted floor
It's on a quiet street, but there is only single glazing, so you might hear the occasional car or passers by
You will be provided with high-quality bed linens, a bath mat, bath towels and tea towels for the kitchen. Your host also provides shampoo, shower gel, and toilet paper at the beginning of your stay, but not throughout.

About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
