With quirky interiors and plenty of space, you’d be forgiven if you mistook this three-bedroom Chelsea home for a Tate Modern exhibition. Packed full of contemporary art, expect a life-size horse lamp, a sculpture of a Swiss Army knife, an orange-shaped coffee table, plenty of technicolour prints and our favourite piece – the blue elephant on the balcony. The bright white bedrooms are simple yet wonderfully comfortable, with eclectic ornaments giving them vibrant pops of colour and king-size beds inviting you to enjoy a dreamy night's sleep. If you’re visiting on business, the zesty second sitting room has a great desk space, so you can plug in and get to work as soon as you arrive. On sunny days, you can take a ten-minute stroll to the iconic King’s Road to wine and dine in top-class bars and eateries. Exhibition Road, home to three of the city's best museums, is just a twenty-minute walk away from your front door. And, if you want to head into the city centre to go shopping or catch a show, you can take a twenty-minute taxi ride or hop on the tube – Gloucester Road station is a twelve-minute walk away. Please... note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
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...
