This swish little apartment may be in the centre of the action – practically standing on Kensington High Street – but it’s just a three-minute walk to Hyde Park if you want to get lost amid trees and lawns. There’s a tube station right across the road to explore every corner of London in minutes. The living area is bright and open, with a comfortable lounge area, dining table and a full kitchen. For those working remotely, the main bedroom has a laptop desk tucked in the corner, making this the ideal bolthole for business or leisure in London.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
*Your host can provide a cot for infants on request.
*Quiet hours are in effect between 11pm and 9am.
