The Home
The apartment occupies the third floor of the building. Entering from the shared hallway, the bathroom lies straight ahead and gives an immediate hint of the comfort that awaits. It features dual wash basins — convenient when two guests are staying — a full bath and an overhead shower attachment. To the left of the bathroom is the combined living and dining area. A three-seater leather sofa, two armchairs and a flat-screen TV make it a relaxed space to unwind, while bookshelves stocked by the owners provide browsing material. The dining table seats four and offers rooftop views; it can also serve as a workspace, and fast Wi-Fi is provided throughout the apartment. Additional cupboard storage is available in the living and dining area and in the hallway. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with countertop space, quality appliances, cookware and utensils. A small table and two chairs sit within the kitchen, with a window that looks straight down Old Brompton Road. The double bedroom is beautifully presented, with the bed overlooking a decorative fireplace. Two integrated wardrobes provide ample storage for clothes and bags. Worth noting: as this is a top-floor apartment, the slope of the eaves reduces headroom slightly on the window side of the living and dining room. There is no lift in the building, so stairs must be climbed to reach the apartment. There are also a few steps from street level up to the front door, which is shared with occupants of the apartments on the lower floors.

Further north lie Imperial College London, the Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park, the Serpentine Gallery and Kensington Palace. Other nearby points of interest include Harrods in Knightsbridge, Stamford Bridge near Fulham Broadway, and Tate Britain in Pimlico.

The apartment's central location also means that many attractions are within comfortable walking distance.
