Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This classy apartment is close to the US Embassy and Battersea. While street parking is available, you'll be just a five-minute walk from the nearest bus and tube stations. The neighbouring houses are close-knit, so there is the potential for noise, especially if you're in the garden. Said garden boasts plenty of seating for alfresco meals and drinks though, making it the highlight of the home. Your host can provide a cot and high chair if you're travelling with little ones, and some basic supplies can be refreshed by the guest manager, ensuring your stay will be a breeze.
