Let London’s signature charm work its magic on you with a stay at this beautiful apartment nestled in a tranquil mews, just moments away from Gloucester Road and South Kensington. While you’ll be able to reach the hustle and bustle of Chelsea and Knightsbridge in no time, you’ll also appreciate returning to your urban oasis at the end of each busy day. We love this home’s inviting ambience – from the moment you set eyes on the enchanting exterior, you’ll be just as dazzled. Inside, the ground floor awaits with two cosy and elegantly decorated living spaces, with gas fireplaces providing warmth on those chillier London evenings. Snuggle up with a movie or a book, and let the stresses of the day fade away. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and the elegant dining area invites you to gather for family feasts. You may also opt for an evening of wine and laughter out on your private roof terrace – a truly delightful spot to relax, no matter the time of day. Should you have some work to catch up on during your stay, you’ll be happy to find an office space with a desk and all that you’ll need to get inspired whatever your work may be. For a night of restful sleep, two cosy bedrooms await upstairs – wake up feeling reinvigorated and ready to make more London memories. This part of the capital is particularly beautiful, and it’s filled with activities and landmarks to keep the whole party happy. Between the world-famous museums, parks and exclusive shops and restaurants, there’s truly something for everyone.

Home truths
This home is spread across two levels with no internal lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility – both bedrooms are on the upper floor
Your host occupies the lower apartment within the same building, so will be on hand should you need anything – you will, however, have your own separate entrance and a completely private stay in the apartment
Parking in central London can be tricky so we recommend discovering your area on foot and taking advantage of the city's excellent public transport system instead
This is a lived-in home – you should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay
You'll likely need some extra towels here
