You'll find this mews home tucked away in a prime location, a short stroll from Kensington Gardens and the Serpentine Gallery. There's an array of transport options nearby too, so exploring the rest of London is easy. This homely and traditional house has plenty of room to entertain. Thanks to the French doors, the living space is light, and there's a decent-sized galley-style kitchen for creating homemade meals. There's a bench at the front of this place, too – perfect for a glass of wine at the end of a busy day. This home is ideal for a family looking to get the most out of this vibrant city.

Home truths
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
A couple of the bedrooms overlook a brick wall, so some of the views aren't the most inspiring.

There is one car parking space at the front of the property - you will need to display the parking permit in your car - your host will leave the permit in the living room for you
