Welcome to this South Kensington sanctuary, tucked away just off Fulham Road and metres from the delightful Fulham Road Picturehouse. With two bedrooms and a fantastic West London location, this ground-floor apartment is perfectly set up for a family or a couple of friends to enjoy some time together in the city. Lined with windows overlooking a lovely paved garden, every corner of the interior is touched by natural light. The interior feels modern and almost minimalist despite the period features, including original sash windows and cornice mouldings. However, it doesn't lose any of that warmth and welcoming atmosphere you tend to find in older properties. Wake up to garden views in the super king-size main bedroom before getting ready in the en-suite bathroom, or sleep soundly in the spacious second bedroom. At the end of a day spent perusing independent boutiques, strategic stops in cute coffee shops and perhaps even a Thames-side stroll or a visit to the Natural History Museum, return home for a G&T out in the calming courtyard garden and enjoy the last of the sunshine. 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...
