Fresh Flight

Fresh Flight: Greater London

You’ll take a journey around the world in this bright and characterful West London home. The hosts have collected vintage furniture and art from the many countries they’ve lived in, including the Indian wooden dining table and the quirky light fittings. Not only are they keen globetrotters, but they're also taxidermists, too — keep your eyes peeled for butterflies and the artfully arranged pheasant in the living room. The large, open-concept kitchen is the real heart of the home, with French doors leading out to a pristine outdoor patio, which has a verdant plant wall and a barbecue ready for those summer evenings. The local neighbourhood is largely residential and consequently, quite peaceful. The banks of the Thames can be reached in under a quarter of an hour on foot should you feel in the mood for a riverside stroll. That being said, you can also be in Central London in around twenty-five minutes on the tube via the Piccadilly Line if you want a change of pace at any time.

Home truths:
*The hosts have a dog (and are happy for dogs to stay) but if you have sensitive allergies it might not be right for you
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
*There's a cot in the second bedroom, so the home can sleep an additional baby or toddler
*The home is spread across two floors, although there is a bathroom and a sofa bed on the ground level
*The master en-suite does not have a toilet, but the bathroom next door does
*There's no car parking space, although Baron's Court tube station is only a nine-minute walk away
*This is a quiet residential neighbourhood, so there are not loads of attractions on your doorstep
