Canfield Gardens

Canfield Gardens: Greater London

Positioned on a beautiful residential street, within walking distance from the area’s best attractions, this is a much coveted home that feels sophisticated and elegant. It's set within a characterful red brick building and while the home is fully modernised with a Sony Smart TV in the living room and video intercom, there are classic features such as the shutters and even a working fireplace. With spaces bathed in natural light, the home feels very peaceful, while the collection of contemporary artwork brings in pops of colour. The south-facing balcony is an idyllic space with plants and a sofa to sink into and soak up the sun.

Home truths:
* While this isn't a central location, it's a very pleasant residential area and just an eight-minute walk to Finchley Road station
* There's a single sofa bed in the study (the third bedroom) which offers flexibility for a larger family or group, it has a futon mattress so it would be on the firm side
* An internet booster has been added, so there is good wifi connection throughout the home
* For longer stays during the summer months, your host will need a little help with watering the plants and flowers
* No shoes can be worn inside the home
* The home is located on the first floor of the building, so you will need to climb some stairs to reach the front door
