An unforgettable stay awaits at this contemporary townhome. You'll find it in Chelsea, nestled between the museums and cafes in South Kensington and the boutiques and high-end restaurants on King's Road. But if the swanky postcode doesn't win you over, then we reckon the breezy interiors will. Between the modern living area, eat-in kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms spread across the home's four floors, you'll have more than enough room to stretch out. Our favourite is the top-level main suite, with its luxe bathroom, soaker bath, and desk for remote working. There's also a small patio outside – it's not the biggest, but it does the job for a morning coffee.

Home truths
This home is spread over four floors, so climbing steps will be necessary. However, there is one bedroom and a bathroom on the ground level.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot.
We think the kitchen could be better stocked with more cups, glasses, and tableware.
Parking isn't provided, but a car isn't necessary in this location. You can easily explore on foot, though there's also an underground station and a short walk away.

South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
