Swish Swish

With blue velvet furniture, shiny marble accents and heaps of living space, this West Kensington apartment really is quite something. We love how fresh and inviting this home feels – it's swish, elegant and super bright, thanks to the huge windows that flood each room with natural light. There's also a small balcony off the living area, which is a sweet spot to savour morning coffees and enjoy evening cocktails. Begin the day with breakfast around the sleek dining table, then head out and explore all London has to offer. Situated in a quiet area on the cusp of West Kensington and Hammersmith, this neighbourhood is more residential, but the nearest tube station is only a ten-minute walk. Across the street are a few charming eateries, but head towards Kensington High Street and you'll find even more options. Also worth a visit is Holland Park, which is ten minutes on foot – the Japanese garden is the perfect place to enjoy a breath of fresh air.

Home truths:
*This home is in a residential neighbourhood – though it's only a short stroll to restaurants, shops and transport links, it's not in the centre of the city
*Your host has several homes in the building, which means your apartment may look different from the sample photos – but it’ll be just as stylish and comfortable
*If you wish to use the parking on-site, you have to use a car lift to get to the garage
