This regal apartment situated in the heart of London’s elegant Holland Park is a rare gem, offering its guests a chance to stay in one of the most desirable areas of the capital. And while there’s plenty to explore in the vicinity, we won’t blame you if you find it hard to pull yourself away from your urban abode. Spread across two floors, the place offers both minimalist simplicity and carefully designed finesse, seamlessly blending together to create a warm and welcoming interior. We love the light-filled living room, with its plush sofas, gorgeous bookshelves and unique art pieces scattered about. Snuggle up and enjoy a relaxing evening of movies and wine in the company of your loved ones. You’ll be able to put together tasty meals in the modern kitchen and share them at the small dining table – that is unless you decide to head out and try one of the countless fantastic restaurants in the area. Get a good night’s sleep in the comfy bedrooms and wake up feeling gloriously refreshed and ready to head out and experience London living. With Notting Hill and Kensington just a short distance away, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it... comes to iconic sights and exciting city attractions to explore.
