The Camera Loves Me

The Camera Loves Me: Greater London

The host of this home is a photographer by trade and often uses the address as a studio. It's not hard to see why she does this. For a start, the set of skylights and the huge glass door means that the main living room is treated to a bountiful amount of natural light. The interior design is effortlessly stylish and takes in a range of influences, from the mid-century-inspired furnishings and the industrial-chic light fixtures to the chic monochromatic bathroom. Perhaps the biggest showstopper, however, is the home's private terrace, which has plenty of seating and even a small lawn. If the weather's looking good, there are plenty of spots nearby to enjoy this stroke of luck, as we're in one of London's greener corners. Cannizaro Park is fifteen minutes' walk away, while Fishponds Wood Nature Reserve can be reached in just over half an hour on foot.

Home truths:
*The home has an allocated parking space for one car, as well as free on-street spots
*The apartment is down a few steps to get to the front door, and is step-free inside
*Breakfast can be provided by the host if desired
*The kitchenette is on the smaller side and not conducive to cooking up big meals
*The bed is accessed only on one side, so this home is best suited for a solo traveller or couple
*You may be sharing the courtyard patio and lawn area with guests from the host's other home, if it's rented out at the same time
