Looking for a fuss-free base in a prime location? This Bayswater apartment fits the bill. It's about a fifteen-minute walk from Portobello Road and Kensington Gardens, and close to a bevvy of shops, eateries, and Tube stations. On summer days, the private terrace will be hit – it's the perfect spot to enjoy a few tipples as the sun goes down. Even inside, you'll glimpse the elusive sunshine thanks to glass walls and skylights. The split-level layout makes the whole place feel extra roomy and ensures a bit of privacy for the two guests on the sofa bed. We think it's a no-frills option in vibrant West London.
