Apricot & Mint

Apricot & Mint: London

Just step through the green front door and you'll fall head over heels for this terraced home. Bright and cosy, everything about this place exudes warmth and comfort, from the striking paint colours and abundance of houseplants to the wooden floors and shelves lined with books. Each room is brimming with character – there's the comfortable master bedroom (we love the unique headboard), the geometric bathroom with a soaker tub and the sweet nursery perfect for little ones. Whether you're tucking into family meals in the dining room, curling up with a glass of wine in the snug or soaking up the sunshine in the garden, you'll feel utterly relaxed here. Plus, the location is spot-on, just a short stroll from the leafy Greenwich Park and fifteen minutes from the historic sights and bustling market in Greenwich's centre. There's also a charming gastropub right around the corner. Getting in and out of the city is easy on the Clipper boats: simply hop on at Greenwich dock and glide down the Thames – you'll even spot some of London's most famous sights along the way.

*The hosts ask that you don’t wear shoes in the house or bring food upstairs
