Chelsea Haven

You'll find this second-floor apartment on the cusp of Chelsea. The lounge is filled with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. It's also home to a compact kitchen, best for light bites, and a dining table that doubles up as a desk. Even though the design isn't the most striking, the whole place feels cosy and comfortable. Location-wise, Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC, is a ten-minute stroll away, while nearby Fulham Broadway has an array of eateries and links to central London.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom has a double bed that can be converted into two singles upon request.
*This home is on the second floor and may lack a lift.
*There isn't a separate kitchen here, meaning prep space is lacking. We think it's better suited to rustling up lighter bites.
