Description Knightsbridge Bright: London

A private garden attached to an architecturally designed London apartment is a rare find, and this one delivers it steps from Holland Park. The chic, considered styling inside makes the apartment itself worth arriving for – a calm, well-judged retreat after a day exploring the city. And the city is very much on your doorstep – Notting Hill's cafes and independent shops, Kensington's museums, and the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park are all within easy reach on foot.

Home truths:
* You'll need to collect the keys from a separate location before heading to the apartment – worth factoring into your arrival plans, particularly if you're arriving late or with a lot of luggage.
* While this home is in an apartment building, there are no concierge or housekeeping services.
* Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
* While there's no air conditioning here, your host can provide fans for the warmer months.
