Boasting a Chelsea postcode, this regal home has The Royal Borough’s landmarks within easy reach. The apartment is on the first floor of a walk-up building, so those with heavy luggage or limited mobility may want to look elsewhere. But, the interiors are traditional and elegant, with plenty of antique furnishings to admire. The private terrace is an idyllic spot for morning coffees and afternoon teas, although some of the city’s high tea hotspots are within striking distance. In terms of location, King's Road is just a short walk away, offering plenty of shopping and dining options.

Home truths
Parking is tricky in London. Instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of public transport.
While there isn't a washing machine here, your host offers recommendations for nearby laundrettes and laundry delivery services.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The decor here is on the traditional side and won't suit guests who prefer contemporary design.
If you want to stock up on groceries, the closest supermarket is a three-minute away.
Your host may be able to provide a travel cot and high chair on request, with at least three days advance notice.
The patio looks a little tired and could do with a refresh.

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...
