Artsy and eclectic, this apartment bursts with character. Whether you're taking a bubble bath in the main suite or reading a book in the cosy living area, you'll feel right at home here. There's even a small terrace – it's not the biggest, but it's still a sweet spot to decompress after exploring. Speaking of location, Bayswater is particularly handy for sightseeing. You've got Notting Hill, Hyde Park, and Paddington within easy reach, while nearby Tube stops make zipping around London a breeze.
