Umber & Gold

Umber & Gold: Greater London

You'll find this apartment in Knightsbridge, one of London's swankiest postcodes. Shopping and sightseeing are a breeze here. Not only is Harrods a short walk away, but Hyde Park, South Kensington, and Buckingham Palace are also within easy reach. The best spot to relax is the apartment's balcony, which boasts views of the neighbourhood church and the area's emblematic red brick buildings. Inside, the design is a tad traditional (particularly the kitchen), but the gold accents and the sumptuous seating are hard to resist.

Home truths:
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts, particularly the kitchen.
*Please note that CCTV is in operation in the building's communal areas but not in the apartment itself.
*There's a lift in the building, but it’s quite small.
*Though there isn't air conditioning here, your host provides portable fans.
*Your host supplies salt and pepper but not cooking oil. They also provide a few bathroom toiletries, including toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. These are not replenished during your stay, but you'll find a few grocery stores a short walk away if you need to top up.
