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 stay in London
My friend and I stayed 5 days in London. Communication with Mark before and during our stay was absolutely engaged and perfect, he sent recommendations about the area and use of the rooms upfront. The apartment is very tasteful, complete fitted and immaculate clean. Second bedroom is small and does not have a lot of storage capacity, but for us it was fine. It is a lower ground apartment with good natural light and just 5/6 a bit steep stages to get there. All in we loved it and would definitely recommend. Thank you very much Mark!

Family Stay
We had a wonderful few days staying at Mark's apartment. The location is great with good access to buses and tube and many coffee, food and groceries options around. The apartment is very well designed. The layout makes very good use of the space and having two bathrooms is a huge plus for families. Communication with Mark was excellent. There are clearly written instructions on how to operate every function in the house and recommendations around Chelsea. Mark left many thoughtful touches around the house which really made a difference, including umbrellas to take around town and milk, sparkling water (and a lime!) in the fridge. Would definitely recommend and return.

Fabulous little apartment
Great communication, super apartment, lovely area and good value for money. The apartment in in the basement so accessed by some step steps which are narrow so need care taking. The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. It was very functional with 2 bathrooms/loos and a galley kitchen, lounge with built in dining area and comfortable seating. There were TVs in both bedrooms and the lounge. I think in the near future it would be worth upgrading these to smart versions but as we weren’t there to watch TV it wasn’t a problem for us. The kitchen had everything we needed and the 3 nights were just what we needed. The area is lovely and we will definitely return if and when we next take a trip. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely Fantastic!!!
Myself and 2 friends stayed at Mark's apartment from 3 nights and we were all blown away by this apartment. It is exactly as described and in such a great location not only for the tube (Sloane Square is about a 5 minute walk) and also the shops and restaurants in Chelsea (again only about a 5-10 minute walk away). Mark was a fantastic host, messaging with details of his favourite restaurants, bars and local shops beforehand and gave clear and concise instructions for check in and out. The apartment was spotless and had everything there we needed for a great stay. Thank you Mark for allowing us to use your apartment - we had a fantastic time!"

Fantastic stay in Chelsea
I stayed here for a weekend with 2 friends. The flat was clean, well equipped and the art and design touches made it especially enjoyable to stay in. Mark replied quickly and made some great recommendations for nearby shops/restaurants etc. The stairs down to the flat are steep which wasn't a problem for us but would flag for other guests with mobility concerns. Thanks again Mark!

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.

Wirklich wunderbar!
Die Wohnung ist genau wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos zu sehen. Bei uns hat ein Teenager hat im Wohnzimmer auf dem Sofa geschlafen, der andere im kleinen Schlafzimmer. Das ist eine gute Lösung für Familien mit größeren Kindern. Alles war sehr sauber und mit vielen Details gemütlich eingerichtet. Gerade in der Küche sind viele nützliche Dinge vorhanden (Öl, Salz, Pfeffer, Zucker, Tee/Kaffee etc.). Auch Duschgel/Haarwaschmittel sowie Waschmittel und Geschirrspültabs wurden bereitgestellt. Zudem gibt es jede Menge Reiseführer und auch mehrere Adapter für Eurostecker/USB-Stecker. Das haben wir in diesem erfreulichen Ausmaß bisher noch in keiner Ferienwohnung gesehen. Die Lage ist im Hinblick auf Bus/U-Bahn und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sehr gut, es ist alles binnen weniger Minuten erreichbar. Die Info-Mappe zur Wohnung und Umgebung ist sehr hilfreich und die Kommunikation mit Mark klappte zu jeder Zeit einwandfrei. Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir dort unseren Urlaub verbringen konnten!

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.
