Cool in Kensington

A calm, light-filled studio on a quiet residential street in Kensington, this apartment is two minutes' walk from High Street Kensington Underground Station – making the rest of the city easy to reach. Kensington Palace and Kensington Gardens are an eight-minute walk away, and Gloucester Road Station, ten minutes on foot, adds direct Piccadilly line access to Heathrow. Back inside, the kitchen is properly kitted out for longer stays, and an in-unit washer-dryer means you can pack lighter. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable whatever the season.

Home truths:
* There's no on-site car park and no private parking with the apartment. Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend arriving by public transport – High Street Kensington Underground Station is just a two-minute walk away.
* The building has no lift, so you'll be navigating stairs to reach the apartment. If you're travelling with heavy luggage or have mobility considerations, it's worth factoring this in before you book.
* If you're travelling with a young child, your host can arrange a travel cot on request – availability isn't guaranteed, so do ask ahead of arrival.
* This is a studio apartment, so you'll be living and sleeping in one space.
