Elegant and sublimely modern, this bright apartment in Chelsea features a beautifully curated interior design and plenty of natural light. Pops of colour in the living room’s cushions and abstract art add a dash of fun to the sophisticated furnishings, while two sets of French doors open up to let the breeze flow through freely. We love that one set of doors opens onto a wrought-iron balcony, a quintessential Kensington touch and makes for an ideal spot for breakfast or sundowners. With a comfortable, pared-back bedroom and a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to, you’ll feel recharged and ready for a day of sightseeing. Walk seven minutes to shop along the famous King’s Road, or stroll twenty minutes to visit South Kensington’s world-class museums. With plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques in your neighbourhood too, you’ll want for nothing when it comes to fun and entertainment.

Home truths
As the front of the apartment is near a main road, some street noise can be heard at times
On the first floor of the building and with no elevator, this home isn't best suited to those with limited mobility or those bringing heavy suitcases
As this home is in a residential area, please keep noise levels to a minimum
There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of London's excellent public transport instead – Earl's Court station is a twelve-minute walk away
Some guests felt the bed was a bit snug for a couple – the mattress is also on slats and not a box spring
The kitchen could do with some more supplies – there's only one tea towel, one cutting board, two knives, and one set of mugs

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
