Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Close to Battersea Park in southwest London, this home is stylish and simple. The small garden has space for outdoor seating, and the main bedroom enjoys an en-suite and cosy private patio for sitting out in the fresh air. The kitchen is modern, but lacking some cooking equipment and utensils – fear not though, as there are restaurants nearby for grabbing a bite. There's also a school nearby so you can expect to hear some noise during the week, but this won't be much of an issue if you're planning on exploring during your stay. While the only parking available is paid street parking, the home's proximity to public transport makes it ideal for city breaks or work trips.

Home truths
Your host can provide a free cot here if you're travelling with little ones. This may already be at the home, but you might need to request this in advance.
This home is close to a school, so you can expect to hear some noise from this during weekdays.
Climbing stairs might be required during your stay.
The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in. That said, you've got the pick of London's restaurants nearby.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.

Local guide
About Nine Elms
A fast-transforming locality on the banks of the Thames, larger in area than Monaco, Nine Elms is set to become one of London’s most vibrant districts. Much has changed since its humble farmland and locomotive works beginnings; in their place now stand gleaming mirrored skyscrapers and upscale private residences that dominate the horizon. One of which boasts the world’s first floating sky pool, a leg-trembling 115 feet above the ground....
