The Sailor

The Sailor: London

This Chelsea studio apartment is the ideal pied-à-terre for the solo traveller. Located seconds from Sloane Square and the King's Road, it couldn't get much better in terms of location, whilst still remaining quiet and peaceful. Although the home stands at 400 square feet, the space has been maximised with a good amount of wardrobe storage and a super large TV that feels like a home cinema. The flat is on the lower ground floor but don't get put off by this, as natural light bathes the whole studio. Overall, a decent base that we love because of its location and modern amenities.

Home truths:
*This is a lower ground floor studio apartment
*Those looking for a lived in home may want to look elsewhere - this studio is more fuss-free and minimal with its finishes
*Your host leaves you cooking essentials such as coffee, tea, sugar, condiments and cooking oil
*You may find that the communal areas in the building are a bit worn and dated
*An extra single futon bed is available, but it's fairly basic and would only be suitable for short stays
*Underfloor heating is only available in the bathroom
*There is one set of keys for this home – if you're coming back at different times you can split the keys and use the front or back doors accordingly
