Set moments from the thriving boutiques, bars and café scene of High Street Kensington, this is one of London’s most sought-after addresses. While the interiors may feel a little dated for some, it’s all well cared for, and the small private balcony overlooking the leafy quiet street below is a bonus. It’s worth noting this home only welcomes children over twelve years old, and at full occupancy, the last two guests will have to make do with a sofa bed in the lounge. Here for the sights? Travelling about is a cinch with Kensington High Street Underground a two-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*No children under twelve are permitted, and the lead guest on the booking must be at least twenty-five years old.
*This home sleeps four guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the living space. We think this bed is better suited for teens or short stays.
*The bedroom has a king-size bed, which can be configured into two singles if preferred.
*You’ll share an entrance at this home.
*The apartment is located on the second floor, and there is no lift access, so be prepared for some steps.
*This home is currently on the market, and scheduled viewings may take place during your stay with at least 24 hours' notice.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise from time to time.
