Nestled in the vibrant heart of London, specifically in Kensington, this charming four-bedroom home offers a unique blend of historical elegance and modern convenience. Accommodating up to seven guests, it is designed to provide a comfortable and stylish retreat. The property boasts a variety of amenities including WiFi, a welcome pack, toiletries, area tips, cleaning services, a fridge fill service, a cafetière, and 24/7 support, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a pleasant stay. The home’s rich history as a former milliner shop adds a touch of character, making it a delightful choice for travelers seeking a taste of London’s past while enjoying contemporary comforts.
The design of the home is particularly inviting, featuring swathes of pine and blonde wood that create a cozy atmosphere. Guests can relax on the white sofa or recline on the chaise longue, soaking in the natural light streaming through the sash windows. The drawing room, adorned with a piano, serves as a perfect space for socializing or unwinding after a day of exploring. The proximity to Kensington High Street, known for its elegant boutiques, and the iconic Hyde Park, where the sounds of horse hooves echo through the paths, enhances the allure of the location, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the quintessential London experience.
While the home is beautifully appointed, there are some important details to consider. Spread over five floors, the property does not have an internal elevator, which may be a consideration for those with mobility issues. Additionally, while there is an off-street parking space available, guests are encouraged to inquire about it during the booking process. The double bedroom lacks permanent storage, but collapsible wardrobes and hanging rails will be provided for convenience. It is also worth noting that the fireplace in the sitting room is ornamental, and air-conditioning is only available in the kitchen and dining room, with fans provided in the bedrooms during the warmer months.
To ensure a smooth booking experience, guests should be aware of the payment policy, which requires full payment prior to check-in. A secure payment link will be sent after booking, and the lead guest must be at least 25 years old, with identification verified at check-in. A £1,000 hold on a credit or debit card will be placed, which is released upon confirmation of no damage. The property’s prime location in London City Centre places guests within easy reach of notable landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch, as well as popular shopping destinations like Oxford Street and Westfield London Shopping Centre, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
