Holding Court

Holiday Rental Description

With Earl’s Court station a three-minute walk away, you’re right in the heart of the action at this apartment. It’s also one of London’s most prestigious addresses, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, putting fine dining, luxury shopping and myriad museums and galleries on your doorstep. The home itself is a classic London pad with big bay windows and wooden floors. The living room was built for entertainment with shelves and shelves of object d’art and DVDs surrounding the TV. A minimalist kitchen hides all the appliances you need behind pristine white cabinets and there’s a skinny balcony overlooking parkland and tennis courts, ideal for a pre-dinner drink in the evening sun. Come bedtime, sprawling queen-size beds ensure a sound sleep, and both bedrooms have a TV if you want some downtime.

Home truths:
* The second bedroom is considerably smaller than the master suite
* While it has everything you might need to make a meal, Masterchefs may find the kitchen size a little restricting
* The fifth guest will be on an airbed or sofa in the living room
