The top-floor jewel in the crown of a classic Edwardian apartment block, this home centres on a bright and airy open-plan living room, featuring cheery lemon tones and a charming cottage aesthetic. Light streams in through the glass doors, which lead onto a delectable little balcony - a great spot to soak up the sun whilst sipping that morning coffee. Two ample sofas furnish a cushy chill-out area, and the large dining table seats eight comfortably. The first-floor bedroom is a serene space, where soft tones and natural light are accented by attractive artwork. The principal bedroom goes one step (or rather one staircase) further, and boasts an ensuite bathroom and inviting terrace. Combining fresh interiors with vintage furniture, leafy plants, and splashes of pink, you can enjoy rooftop views of Barons Court - and first dibs on the sun lounger.
We love...
The roof terrace, obviously. Wood decking, an outdoor dining table, and comfy corner sofa, allow you to relish those sunset views (and accompanying glass of wine) in style.
The location was ideal, in a very elegant and friendly neighborhood and yet so quiet and secluded, it felt very safe walking in the area. Two underground stations nearby, and plenty of buses, made sure we could reach anywhere in Central London within a few minutes. Close to the house we could find many shops, cafes, markets, and restaurants, so our meals vere sorted easily. We especially recommend the Lebanese take away, they make the best falafel I ever tasted.
The kitchen was very well furbished, plenty of pots and pans and a spacious fridge, with a very cozy chic feeling to it. We adored the huge living room, with its many sofas and the big wooden communal table and arched windows. It felt so welcoming, and we instantly had the feeling of being in a house that was much loved by its owners.
I think this is what makes staying with SMARTER special: their properties have always that "extra" feeling to them, the choice of properties is well curated and every time we stayed in London through them, we've always fallen in love with the house.
A special thank you especially to the staff at SMARTER (and to the very kind owner of the house) for helping us when we had a little mix-up with the date. They were very kind and professional in helping us. Honestly I could not recommend them more
When spending my precious time and money to come to my favorite city I can no longer gamble on the other rental platform especially when traveling with a young child. I need to know my rental is solidly booked and managed professionally. This is why I will always work with the SMARTER team when traveling to London. Great job!
