Description Up on the Terrace: London

Just a few minutes' walk from Earl's Court and West Brompton stations, city explorers are well-served in this London home. With the host able to provide a cot, it's perfect for families, while the desk and fully-equipped kitchen mean it's ideal for longer stays. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area – as the French door doesn't have a blind, you'll probably want an eye mask. Without a lift, the climb up to this third-floor home is a bit of a workout, but we think the private roof terrace makes it worth it. Nearby are several trendy bars and cafes, while Gloucester Road Overground Station is half a mile away.

*The double bed is against the wall on one side.
*Your host can provide a cot, baby bath, and high chair for free on request.
*The terrace is for your sole use here.
