Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking for a well-connected home, well, this lovely apartment is a two-minute walk from Maida Vale Underground Station. Or take a short wander over to Little Venice, known for its pizzerias. Then relax in the leafy garden with its decked patio. Inside, we love that both bedrooms are en-suite, though the second bedroom has a glass-walled bathroom and, although covered by a curtain on one side, it does not offer much privacy. But this home’s beautiful aesthetic more than makes up for any compromises. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Maida Vale
Leafy Maida Vale is one of London's most sought-after residential areas and for good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC's Maida Vale studios means that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
