The Modern Ambassador

There's a lot to like about this apartment. For starters, the location is convenient and well-connected. Battersea Power Station is a twenty-minute walk away, Nine Elms Station is reachable in ten, and the US Embassy is just down the road. We also like the sleek design, though it could use a few more personal touches to give it that homey feel. The living space is bright and boasts great views – there's even an indoor balcony from which you can enjoy them. Factor in the duo of bedrooms and bathrooms, and we think it's a practical option right by the Thames.

Home truths:
*Given the central location near a busy railway line, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay.
*If you plan to work from home, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*There's no free parking in the area, so we suggest leaving the car behind and exploring on foot instead. You can walk to Nine Elms Station in ten minutes and Vauxhall Station in fifteen.
