About this property

Chelsea Charm in Historic London Neighbourhood, with all Mod Cons!

Situated in Draycott Place, a charming period street in Old Chelsea which is steps away from Sloane Square and the King's Road. Walking distance to shops of Knightsbridge and the museums of South Kensington this apartment is owned by an interior designer.

The apartment features one master bedroom with a UK King/USA Queen bed (5' x 6' 8") with an ensuite bathroom with a tub (but no shower). There is a second bathroom with a full walk-in shower (but no tub). A second smaller guest room can be made up with either one or two single beds -- though it is tight with two beds (more suitable for kids to share). And, in a pinch, one can also sleep a fifth person on the living room sofa, the base of which is an upholstered mattress -- think of it as a day bed.

There is a very small patio at the rear which is suitable for die hard smokers, but there is no smoking inside the apartment. As the apartment is 'Lower Ground' there are steep narrow British stairs leading to the front door, so all guests must be agile!

The apartment has three TVs, Blu Ray & DVD multi region system, cable, wireless internet and a cosy dining nook off the living room, with a skylight overhead.

The nearest underground line is Sloane Square, but you are also within walking distance of South Kensington station. I prefer to take the number 19 or 22 bus to the Piccadilly Circus if I am headed to the West End -- ride on the top of the iconic double decker red London bus and get a birds eye view of all London has to offer.

Perfect for our trip
The location is wonderful - we loved using Sloane Square station to access the circle and district lines because it was so much less crowded than the bigger stations. Marks and Spencer was so convenient, as well!The space fit our group of 5 perfectly and we were all comfortable. I didn’t realize it was a basement but that was probably my lack of attention to details, but there was plenty of light. We felt very safe.

Outstanding host and property
Our host Mark went beyond with little touches to his home including fresh flowers, cookies on arrival and a tree to give us some Christmas cheer. The property was perfect for our family of 4 (2 teens) and very close to shops, restaurants, buses and the Tube. Access to the property is down a very steep outdoor staircase so not the best if you have mobility issues. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Perfect Family Stay in Chelsea
We had an excellent stay in Chelsea with our family of four, including our two kids (ages 8 and 10). The apartment was perfect for us—comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious enough for everyone. The location is fantastic, offering a great representation of London. It’s an extremely walkable area with plenty of shops, restaurants, and charming streets to explore. Plus, it’s just a short walk to the tube, making it super convenient for getting around the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our London adventure!

Amazing stay in London!
My family and I were so impressed with Mark’s listing. The photos don’t do it justice! We felt like we were staying in a beautifully curated hotel with amazing art, decor, and the location was an added bonus. It’s close to all the trendy shops and restaurants. I wish we stayed longer. It is walking distance to the tube and bus stops. Mark gave us some great recommendations as well and was helpful throughout the entire stay. We will definitely be back! It’s such a beautiful home!

Great apartment in top location
The apartment was such a great find. It’s in a brilliant location. So many good pubs and restaurants close by but also easy to stay one to breakfast or cook if you want. Mark welcomed us with recommendations and donùts and showed us around, which was appreciated. It does have steep steps down to the apartment but my children were old enough to navigate them. Having a washing machine and dryer was also brilliant. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Watty

Host profile image
I'm an interior designer based in London for many years but originally from Vancouver, Canada. I appreciate all London has to offer and my apartment in Chelsea is an ideal base close to all the attractions, shopping, restaurants and arts events. I have a wealth of local knowledge so if you have any questions please contact me!

Why they chose this property

I loved the period nature of this property. Looking down the street you can imagine you were in the 1880s. However I extensively (but sympathetically) renovated the interior so that has all the modern amenities one would require.
