The Contemporary Haven

Spread across three floors, this modern London apartment puts you within a stone's throw of the beautiful green of Queen's Park. But even better is its proximity to public transport. Hop on a tube and visit the iconic sights like Buckingham Palace or Big Ben. Though the sleek kitchen is well stocked with the equipment you'd need for cooking meals, where's the fun in that? Stop off at nearby takeaways and enjoy your lunches alfresco on the decked terrace. This also happens to be the perfect place for an early morning coffee and contemplation.

Home truths:
*There’s free parking for one car in a private bay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair for free. You'll need to request it in advance. *There are stairs to climb here. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Though there is no air-conditioning, fans are available upon request. *While we love the overall design of this home, the third bedroom is lacking in natural light. *A weekly clean is included here so you have less to worry about.
