5.0

This lofty white home is all about its enviable location. Immersed in the crème de la crème of West London – South Kensington is a sought-after neighbourhood where urban affluents frequent fine-dining restaurants, upscale shops and cultural attractions. Just under a ten-minute stroll from both the V&A and Natural History Museum, you really couldn't be better placed here. When – weary from all that shopping, eating and museum-hopping – you do eventually return home, you'll enter into a bright and airy house with plenty of rustic flair. Exuding character and sophistication, the living room is a large yet charming space to unwind with its exposed rafters, high beamed ceilings and ornamental fireplace. You'll notice the crushed velvet furnishings and ghost chairs add that extra level of refinement – perfectly in-tune with the classy pavements below. Elsewhere, with pearly-white decor and a copper-toned chair, both bedrooms have an air of understated elegance – which just about sums this home up. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
