WE'VE GOT AN AWARD!
Plum Guide Star is like the Michelin Star for Vacation Rentals. This home has been tested by hospitality experts against 150 criteria including: great location, great beds, great living room, great host, great restaurants, great bars, great vibes and great value. Only 1 in every 100 homes is given this award, so you can be confident that this is one of London's best holiday homes.
LOCATION - The apartment is situated in a beautiful tree lined Regency terrace in the heart of London's most exclusive Knightsbridge - Step out of the flat and find all that London has to offer: theatre, history, culture, fine dining, shopping and the world famous Hyde Park. Take a quick trip to Harrods or venture a bit further to Kensington or Buckingham Palaces.
The flat is smack bang in the middle of the smartest boutiques and department stores around, from Harvey Nichols to Harrods. And when you've shopped to your heart's content, head down the road to museum mile, where the delights of the V&A and the Natural History Museum await, or amble north for a scenic walk around the Serpentine.
Beauchamp Place is just around the corner with its fabulous choice of restaurants and boutiques.
THE SPACE - I am an interior designer and have had great fun completely renovating this spacious (105 sq m) apartment. With regards to the design, we have tried to give the apartment as much personality as possible whilst appealing to a broad range of tastes. The design is bright and breezy, clean and uncluttered. It's eclectic, modern and Midcentury. I used to have an art gallery - so there are also plenty of interesting art works on display to capture your interest.
But it's not all about style, comfort is also key for our guests. So in the spacious living room there is a large comfy sofa in the lounge for guests to use - where you can put your feet up in the evenings, kick back and relax! The living area is also home to the dining area, which is the perfect spot to enjoy some local delicacies.
Top tip: try out the magnificent food halls in Harrods (steps away) - you will be sure to take home some edible delights from here!
If cooking a gourmet meal at home is more your thing, then rest assured the kitchen will have everything you need in it including oven, induction hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and even a Nespresso coffee machine.
We provide all the basic condiments, and as an added extra we make sure that there is also always plenty of tea and sugar so that you can make yourself a traditional British cuppa in the morning! And so you don't need to rush out to the shops after a long journey, we provide you with a welcome pack of essential snacks. We really want to ensure that you have a comfortable stay here in London!
There are two bedrooms in the house. The master bedroom has a super king sized bed (mattress size is L2m x W1.8m) and a stylish private conservatory space for enjoying tea, reading or dressing.
The second bedroom has a double bed (mattress size is W1.4m x L1.9m) and is located at the back of the flat with a luxurious walk-in shower. Both bedrooms are uniquely designed so you get a feeling of luxury staying here.
Block-out curtains and blinds ensure you don't get woken up too early by the light. There is also plenty of storage space for guests to store all their belongings. Guests using the rear bedroom may use the wardrobe in the hall.
The property also benefits from 2 ensuite bathrooms. Both bathrooms are bright and contemporary in style and one has a bath (which really is a real treat in central London!) and another a walk-in shower. The bathrooms will always come stocked with plenty of white fluffy towels and all the essential toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel and hand soap that you need to ensure that you have a comfortable stay in London.
Guest access
The apartment has its own private entrance. The apartment is on the lower ground floor. Whilst I can definitely say that this is not your typical basement apartment as the rooms are so spacious and bright, there are a few outdoor stairs down to the apartment which may make it unsuitable for people with mobility issues.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
The apartment is cleaned professionally with fresh luxury linens, it's prepared for each new visitor. Two sets of towels (one large and one small) per person provided as well as bed linen. On request for a separate fee we are happy to stock up fridge prior arrival or arrange mid-stay cleaning and change of bed linen and towels. Please request at time of booking.
Facilities include a washing machine, dryer, an iron and ironing board - so that you can look fresh for exploring the city or for any business meetings!

Please remember to bring comfortable slippers or thick socks to wear in the apartment as there is a no shoes policy in the flat.

The closest tube station is Knightsbridge which is less than 2 minute walk away from the apartment. This is on the Piccadilly line. This means that on these lines you can get directly to famous London sights such as Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Buckingham Palace (get off at Green Park tube station to get here!) Travellers coming from far and wide will also be pleased to know that you can hop on the Piccadilly line straight to Kings Cross St Pancras station - for national and international trains, and hop on in the other direction and you arrive directly to Heathrow terminals 2, 3, 4 & 5.
