Description Hogarth Road Light: London

This lower-ground-floor studio in West London is a stylish city base – and high ceilings and a generous window flood the interior designer-refurbished space with natural light, making it feel far removed from the typical basement studio. Plus, the kitchen is set up for real cooking, not just breakfast. South Kensington, Knightsbridge, and Chelsea are all a short walk away, and Earls Court Underground Station is just around the corner, making it a remarkably well-connected base for exploring the city.

Home truths:
* The apartment sits at lower-ground-floor level, so you'll descend a steep, narrow staircase to reach it – worth bearing in mind if you're travelling with large or heavy luggage.
* If you're travelling with a little one, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
* Early check-ins and late check-outs are available upon request only. They can be arranged close to your arrival or departure date.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
