The plump sofas are waiting for you and are the perfect spot to kick back after a long day exploring London. Located just two minutes from the Thames and its towpath, we recommend an evening stroll to watch the city sparkle. In the other direction, guests will find the Kings Road and its various shops, cinemas, galleries and bistros.

It has a bright, elegant reception room with dining table for 6, large T.V. and WiFi.

Should you have any questions or queries regarding the property or the area it’s located in, the team will be happy to help. Their contact details will be supplied once your booking is confirmed.

Explore London like a local with so much at the doorstep of this flat. Boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and gastropubs are all nearby. Kings Road, the Saatchi Gallery, Hyde Park, and the River Thames are all easily accessible.
In the 1960s, Chelsea`s Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you`ll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it`s very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square is home to one of London`s best theatres for new writing (The Royal Court) and nearby is one of London`s best independent bookshops (John Sandoe). Oh and if you like high-end shopping then Sloane Street will be your Mecca!

A Gem in Chelsea !!!!!

I would highly recommend staying here. the flat is beautifully decorated and is just as comfortable. The brick courtyard was a great place to have breakfast and cocktails after a long day of walking through London. You can tell, the owner of this unit took great pride in the renovation of this unit. Just a short walking distance to the bus stop. I would recommend eating at pub around the corner called The Ram. This establishment has the BEST Sheppard Pie I have ever eaten. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS GEM!

Chelsea Gem

My wife and I are glad we booked this beautiful flat in a quiet street, away from the bustle of the city. Small in size but very charming. The bathroom is tight, but bedroom, living room, and kitchen, patio...very nice. Easy access to bus lines to take you around London. King St is close by with numerous restaurants and shops. Even close to the 606 Jazz Club, and the Le QuecumBar, Gypsy style jazz just across the river...loved that place. Great property if you want all that London has to offer, yet want a quiet neighborhood experience.

Great Flat in Quiet Neighborhood

My husband and I stayed in this flat for two weeks in May. It was well situated to bus stops, tube stops, and shops. London is such a great city to walk in so we took advance of being so close to the River and had regular morning walks there. (I would highly recommend a walk to Battersea Park, it's just across the bridge and is a wonderful and quiet retreat from the city.) Back to the flat..., we really enjoyed coming home to a quiet space at the end of our busy days. The bed is super comfortable and we easily slept through the night. The outside area is nice and we had beautiful weather to enjoy it. I would highly recommend this flat for anyone looking to stay in Chelsea.

Lovely property in great location!

We were pleasantly surprised by the property. The pictures were an accurate representation of what we hoped it would be. The small patio was a joy to relax in on a sunny day and the design makes very efficient use of a small space. We used public transportation for the entirety of our stay and found it to be quite convenient.(approximately 45 minutes to Leicester Square by bus/tube). The cabinet doors require some work as some do not stay closed, but that was a minor complaint.

Small, intimate and very quiet

This place is small but cozy and cute. Perfect for a couple (but probably not more than two adults), and a great location from which to explore London. We loved the fact that it was so quiet, both during the day and all night, and that it was within easy walking distance to all sorts of public transportation (river taxi, tube, hop-on hop-off bus tours, etc). The only possible drawbacks are that there is no in-house thermostat, so the heat has to be adjusted by the owner upon request, and, if you are a big guy like me, the bathroom is truly tiny. But actually, once you get used to it, the smallness sort of adds to the intimate feel. Ann and her crew are great hosts, and we very much enjoyed our stay. We will be in London again next year and will definitely be looking to stay here again.

A lovely flat in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here The flat was well located for all our needs with the Kings Road and it's buses within a few minutes walk and a great local pub the Chelsea Ram less than 5 minutes away.There is also secure parking outside the zone available in Edith Grove. The next few comments are suggestions not criticisms We would have liked bed side tables in the bedrooms,the mugs provided were a little to large and smaller cups and saucers would have been ideal We did struggle with the size of the bathroom and the closing of the fridge door to ensure no frosting.The light in the fridge should be renewed and some of the kitchen doors were difficult to secure.There were no scissors in the kitchen.We stress these are minor items for us but the property is offered at the top of the rental scale. Finally and this was a big problem for us the folding doors to the patio and outside eating/relaxing are we did not use due to the screaming and shouting of two children close by.we could not open the doors due to the racket which went on sometimes until 11 at night.Children do of course make noise that we accept but this was a disgrace and no attempt was made by the parents to take control This must be a terrible problem for the residents particularly the nice lady living in the flat above Beware any future tenants !

Charming Chelsea flat

The flat is stylish and comfortable, with good quality fuurniture and fittings. It is also very light and sunny, with large folding glass doors from the living room and kitchen into the small private patio. It is situated on a quiet street close to the river. Good restaurants and pubs are nearby.

nice, but off the beaten track and quite small

the apartment was cozy, but the bathroom was really almost claustrophobic, literally the size of two phone booths. Difficult to reach items on the upper shelves of the kitchen. The nearest tube station was more than a mile away. The neighborhood was quiet, but not very convenient to grocery stores, etc. I'm afraid we expected more for the price we paid.

This flat in Chelsea was a wonderful home away from home for us. Beautifully presented. Loved it!

The flat is in a lovely area, close to the river and underground station. The bed was very comfortable and the property in a very quiet area so great for sleeping. Also spotless! We loved the elegant furnishings - was lovely to come home to after being out and about all day. We would definitely love to stay again on our next trip to London.

Exactly as described...

My stay here was exactly as expected. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, but close (walking or transit) to the hustle and bustle of the city. The flat is comfortable and clean. It's small, but so functional. I was the only one there, but it would easily accommodate two people. My favorite part was the deck. I spent every chance I could out there. Communication with this host was great. If you're looking for something that will give you a bit of downtime while in the city, I highly recommend this flat.

It was a fantastic place to rent. Really enjoyed staying there!

Everything on the listing was just as expected. No surprises. The appartment had everything we needed. It is very cute. We were lucky to have great weather and had breakfast everyday with the doors all open on the patio. What a nice way to start the day. As I said, the appartment was perfect but, the equally important part was that the owner and contact people were just great during the whole aspect of the renting and staying there. They were extremely accommodating. They had great communication and customer service. We would highly recommend renting to others and for sure would stay there again ourselves.

Lovely comfortable property

The flat is well located close to public transport, Shopping and restaurants. With this it is very quiet area and safe to walk around. It is easy to feel like a local. There is a hospital close by for emergency - if you ever need one. unfortunately we did need this. The booking process was good and any concerns we had while we were there were sorted very quickly. It is comfortable and lovely when the sun comes out. Could have stayed longer. would definitely go back.

Great Flat Near Kings Road!

We had such a great stay in London, partly because of this property. It is very nicely furnished and had everything we needed and more! The outside courtyard was the perfect place to drink our morning tea and coffee - we were lucky to have warm sunny weather for our few days there. Very walkable to transportation and Kings Road. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay at again next time we're in London!

Our stay was very comfortable and met (exceeded) our expectations.

Ann Louise and the service team were responsive and made our stay a pleasure. The location is perfect for walking and commuting around London. There are restaurants and shops nearby. Buying the groceries we needed was easy and a short distance from the flat. The neighborhood was quiet and we slept comfortably on the king sized bed. The living room provided plenty of space to relax and the high speed internet was super-fast. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the outside terrance was a nice connection to the outdoors. The bathroom is on the tight side but did not present any problems. It is well-fitted and the shower quite large. We don't spend a lot of time in the bathroom and all the other rooms were spacious and comfortable for us. We recommend the flat and plan to stay again on our stays in London in the future.

This lovely apartment in Chelsea lives up to its online description.

Clever use of space and mirrors together with a rare private courtyard make this Chelsea apartment a wonderful home away from home. Stylishly well equipped and furnished, the apartment contributed to the enjoyment of our London stay and much to our surprise we thoroughly enjoyed being a little out of the way of central London. Although we never actually had the chance to meet the owner, nor her representative, all our needs were catered for and any question was promptly responded to via email or text message. I would readily recommend this apartment to friends and relatives with only one small warning to be very careful not to trip over the unusual change in level between the living room and bedroom.
