Just a six-minute walk from Paddington station, this elegant flat exudes class and style. Though compact, it has everything you need for a comfortable and stress-free stay in London. We love the silver diamond-patterned feature wall in the living room and the pretty dining nook, perfect for starting mornings off over coffee or enjoying a meal at home when you’re not out sampling London’s fine dining scene. Speaking of things to do in the city, you’ve got plenty of entertainment within easy reach here. Stroll over to Hyde Park – ten minutes away – for leafy promenades first thing, then walk just twenty minutes to Notting Hill where Portobello Road’s antique shops invite an afternoon of window shopping. With Paddington station so close by too, you can access the entire city with ease. In the evenings, treat yourself to an at-home massage or ask your host to arrange tickets for a London show. When it’s time for bed after a day of excitement, you’ll find a luxuriously comfortable bed waiting to cradle you into a blissful night’s sleep.

• Your host may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in time (from 1pm) and a later check-out time (until 2pm) for an additional fee of £150 each.Cost on request
