Home truths
At capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed.
This is a basement apartment in an old building, so you may notice some signs of wear and tear and hear some street noise and underground trains.
The bathroom can sometimes smell damp after using the shower. Please note that the shower pressure here isn't the strongest.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
