If you're looking for a central base, this homey, family-size apartment with plenty of outside space is a great pick. Located in residential Bayswater, with artisan coffee shops, Italian restaurants, and green areas nearby, including the Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park – both less than twenty minutes away on foot – you're perfectly placed for exploring the city on foot. Alternatively, you're less than a ten-minute walk from several underground stations, connecting you to places of interest such as the Royal Albert Hall and Madame Tussauds with ease. Stepping inside, you'll immediately feel at home with the stylish decorative details – from the textured rug, throws and cushions to the modular sofa and bookshelves filled with board games and interesting reads. There's even a desk area for those travelling on business. The home's ideal for younger families, with a playful kids bedroom and a sleek marble kitchen that will make cooking breakfast a delight. Slump down in front of the TV after a day of sightseeing, or better still, head up to the rooftop terrace – a real standout here – and take advantage of your outside space, overlooking the surrounding city skyline.
