An ideal base for those in search of the finer things in life, this luxurious Knightsbridge apartment is ready to welcome you into a world of refinement. From its crystal chandeliers to its state of the art features (we particularly love the TV art frame that displays a Renoir painting) and plush details, every inch of this home feels wonderfully curated with relaxation in mind. The stone arches leading to the kitchen give the space some Old World charm, while the cubby dining room is as chic as can be. The master bedroom is a masterclass in style with its sumptuous bed and spa-like bathroom, and there’s even a desk space here too should you need to mix business with pleasure. The home also comes with access to the private resident’s garden, a calm oasis of green that invites sunny picnics and quiet mornings catching some rays with a good book. With the city’s high-end shopping streets right on your doorstep – including Harrods a seven-minute walk away – you can indulge in some retail therapy along Brompton Road or on Chelsea’s King’s Road, a ten-minute stroll from your door. Factor in South Kensington’s world-class museums (the V&A is also... a ten-minute walk) as well as some of London’s most prestigious restaurants and bars in your neighbourhood, and you’re all set to experience the city in class and style.

Home truths
A cot and a travel cot are available – just ask your host when booking
The second bed is a junior double (122 cm) so it will be a tighter squeeze if two adults are sharing it – as such, an air mattress is available on request if needed
Guests are asked to keep noise levels to a minimum out of respect for the neighbours
Your host lives nearby, so will be available to answer questions and provide help should you need it
You'll have access to the private resident's garden that's shared with the other apartments in your building
Paid street parking is available, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of London's excellent public transport instead – Sloane Square and Knightsbridge stations are both a ten-minute walk away

Local guide
About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge. This is London at its most grand and lavish: an area where many of your neighbours think nothing of picking up their daily groceries at Harrods and taking their dogs for a walk in Hyde Park before breakfast. Ideally located for exploring many of central London's key sights, Knightsbridge is also a mecca for high-end shopoholics. Thrifty types should look elsewhere!
