Things to Know
The single bedroom can accommodate one additional person on the pull out bed. Please let the host team know how you would like the room to be set up for your stay. As there is no permanent storage in both the master bedroom and the single bedroom, we will provide a hanging rail and a collapsible shelves for your stay. Off-road parking is available at the home, but only for smaller hatchback cars as the parking space isn't the biggest. This home has air-conditioning in the both bedrooms and the sitting room. Between May and September, we will provide fans for each room that needs it. Please let us know if you'd like fans outside the summer period. This home is spread over two floors with no internal elevator.

Style Notes
Loft living. This contemporary conversion incorporates features from its workshop past to create a quirky, airy space with an industrial but cozy feel. The high pitched ceiling, raw brickwork and beams combine with sky lights and large glass windows and doors to create an airy, relaxed environment. Artworks and textiles add soft pops of color and the handcrafted floorboards create a homely softness to the living and sleeping areas. We love the traces of the residence’s working past, combined with smart modern touches for ultimate comfort. The bijou terrace space is a welcome addition, offering the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee.

Fulham, London
Parks, football and the Sloaney Pony
This upmarket West London neighborhood is leafy and affluent with a gastro pub on every corner and several parks. It’s easy to get into central London from here - just six stops on the District line - and it has a sprinkle of wizarding magic as the place where Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe grew up.
