Gorgeous Place in a Great Neighborhood

We loved our stay here- the apartment was exactly as pictured and full of charm. It has so many beautiful details, luxury bathroom, and was so wonderful to come back to after exploring all day. I really appreciated the fully stocked coffee station! The only thing to be aware of is that for check in the key is picked up at a shop a few blocks away. Otherwise we loved our stay and can't wait to visit again!

Hi Abby, glad you enjoyed your stay 😊 We have looked at moving the key collection point but this is the nearest key point that has such long hours, and we wanted to give guests the widest window possible to collect keys. If one pops up even nearer with the same hours, we will change it 😊

Awesome spot in Chelsea

A great jewel in a great part of Chelsea. Everything about this rental was spot on. The description was accurate, the unit was clean, everything worked perfectly and the host was excellent. Accurate and timely communication and comprehensive information on access and use of the unit. This is a true studio with a generous common room, a very nice accessible balcony, loft bedroom and a small but functional kitchen. Perfect for singles and couples and walkable to lots of great shops and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood so sleeping was uninterrupted. Will definitely rent again if it’s available.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Williams

Host profile image

I’ve lived in West London for 40 years, first in Notting Hill, and now in South Kensington. As I spend a lot of my time abroad in Italy, I’ve let out my pied-a-terre and been delighted with the pleasure it’s given others to live in and enjoy this beautiful part of London. For those interested in design and the arts, it’s a paradise, with amazing museums, showrooms and shops on the doorstep. The apartment is surrounded by cafés, restaurants, pubs and bars in nearby streets, but is in a quiet enclave. Hyde Park is a short walk away for those who enjoy a break from the city, or turn left and head down to the riverbank in Chelsea. The building is Victorian white stuccoed, classic in style, and the apartment is on the principal - first - floor - with soaring ceilings and the balcony overlooking the street below, where you can enjoy morning coffee, evening drinks, or even dine.

Why they chose this property

As an interior designer, West London is the hub, and the apartment is close to the Chelsea Harbour Design Centre, a myriad of shops and showrooms, Chelsea Hospital with its annual flower and antique fairs. There are so many different bars and restaurants, you can dine the world on your doorstep, and the museums are world class, in arts - the V&A - science and natural history. It’s also only a short hop to Soho, Westminster, Notting Hill, or central London, so it’s a great location for sight seeing.

What makes this property unique

I’d like to think 2 things make the apartment stand out. First is the reason I bought it - it’s the classic dream London apartment - in a porticoed stuccoed building, and on the first floor, with the high ceilings, the balcony, and the floor to ceiling French doors onto the terrace. The second thing is that I hope it’s benefitted from being owned by an interior designer, who has sought to make it chic and glamorous whilst also retaining the original features.
