In the 1960s, Chelsea`s Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you`ll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it`s very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square is home to one of London`s best theatres for new writing (The Royal Court) and nearby is one of London`s best independent bookshops (John Sandoe). Oh and if you like high-end shopping then Sloane Street will be your Mecca!

I would highly recommend staying here. the flat is beautifully decorated and is just as comfortable. The brick courtyard was a great place to have breakfast and cocktails after a long day of walking through London. You can tell, the owner of this unit took great pride in the renovation of this unit. Just a short walking distance to the bus stop. I would recommend eating at pub around the corner called The Ram. This establishment has the BEST Sheppard Pie I have ever eaten. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS GEM!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2019
My wife and I are glad we booked this beautiful flat in a quiet street, away from the bustle of the city. Small in size but very charming. The bathroom is tight, but bedroom, living room, and kitchen, patio...very nice. Easy access to bus lines to take you around London. King St is close by with numerous restaurants and shops. Even close to the 606 Jazz Club, and the Le QuecumBar, Gypsy style jazz just across the river...loved that place. Great property if you want all that London has to offer, yet want a quiet neighborhood experience.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2018
I loved my stay here and would return in a heartbeat. So clean so quiet and just as described. I’m so grateful for my choice in accommodation. Will not be my last time at this rental. So lovely and tranquil.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2017
the apartment was cozy, but the bathroom was really almost claustrophobic, literally the size of two phone booths. Difficult to reach items on the upper shelves of the kitchen. The nearest tube station was more than a mile away. The neighborhood was quiet, but not very convenient to grocery stores, etc. I'm afraid we expected more for the price we paid.
