Locations don't get much better than this. Perched above High Street Kensington, you'll have all you need at your fingertips – from shops and cafes to green spaces and galleries. Nearby Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are ideal spots for leisurely strolls, while art fiends will love the Design Museum just down the road. The home itself is cosy and comfortable. We love the window seats and the little alcove where you can curl up with a book. The kitchen is compact, but that’s no bother, as there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Even with one guest sleeping on the sofa bed, we think it's a great option for a central stay.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
*Given the central location, some noise from the road and nearby amenities is to be expected.
*The kitchen is compact and best for light bites. You'll find plenty of eateries within walking distance, though.
