Just a short stroll from the waterways of Little Venice, this apartment makes a great base for a breezy London getaway. Stroll tree-lined streets, admire the colourful narrowboats and discover canal-side restaurants. It’s also less than five-minute stroll to Warwick Avenue station, meaning it’s easy to explore further afield. It’s worth noting you will need to climb two flights of stairs to reach the apartment, but once inside you’ll find everything you could need to switch off and unwind. There’s also a handy office for remote workers and the second living room doubles up as a bedroom thanks to the sofa bed.

About Maida Vale

Leafy Maida Vale is one of London's most sought-after residential areas and for good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC's Maida Vale studios means that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
