Description Literary Pursuits: London

This Kensington home is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a comfortable stay in one of London’s most privileged postcodes. Just a stone’s throw from Notting Hill and less than a fifteen-minute walk from Kensington Palace and Gardens, you’ve got a wealth of entertainment and culture on your doorstep.

Inside the apartment, a calming neutral palette and ample natural light provide an inviting welcome in the living area. We love the large sectional sofa that invites you to curl up on it with a mug of tea and one of the books on the shelves, while the huge window here is the perfect place to perch with an evening glass of wine while surveying your scenic street below. The dining table is ready to host intimate soirées when you’re not out discovering the many eateries in your neighbourhood, and the bedroom beckons a good night’s rest in its large bed – sure to leave you feeling rested and raring to go for another day in the Big Smoke.

Home truths:
*This home is accessed via stairs only, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility *As you're in a central location, some street noise is to be expected *There's no desk here, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *You'll receive an in-person check-in *There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and exploring London on foot or by public transport instead
