Filled with old-world charm, this bright apartment in Swiss Cottage dazzles with beautiful period features, like high ceilings, a decorative fireplace, original shutters and huge sash windows. Light pours in through the living room’s floor-to-ceiling panes, with peaceful views of the neighbours’ garden creating a tranquil setting for meals around the window-side table and evenings relaxing on the sofas with a glass of wine. Head out to your private balcony for morning coffees ahead of a day of sightseeing, or end nights on a high with an alfresco nightcap. The bedrooms are simple yet elegant, with more antiques and curios giving them plenty of character, as well as a library of books in one to make unwinding before bedtime blissful. When you’re not hanging out in your chic home, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a twenty-minute walk from both Hampstead Heath and Regent’s Park, while a thirty-minute stroll will take you to bustling Camden. We recommend packing an evening picnic and climbing to the top of Primrose Hill (twenty minutes away on foot) to watch a spectacular sunset over the city.


Home truths:
*The home has lived-in charm so expect a level of wear and tear
*You'll be sharing the space with some of the host's belongings
* There's no TV in the living room although there's one in each bedroom and in the kitchen
* The master bedroom is on the street side so you may hear some street noise
* There's only a small chest for storage in the second bedroom
*The second bathroom is on the older side so expect traditional fixtures
*There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of London's excellent public transport instead – Swiss Cottage station is a four-minute walk away
