The Neighborhood: Two long high streets, King's Road and Fulham Road run parallel to the river, meaning that nowhere in the neighbourhood are you ever more than a few minutes' walk from a world-class restaurant, an exciting little boutique, or an antique shop. Snaking along the banks of the Thames, pomp and circumstance precedes Chelsea’s bohemian-turned-businessman reputation. Influential bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones lent their stardom to Chelsea during the 60s. The neighborhood’s Swinging London era fame has abated, and its cadre of punks and hippies has grown into sleek-suited business people stepping out of chic townhomes. Chelsea isn’t always polite—its residents root ferociously for their home team, Chelsea FC.
One of Chelsea’s biggest selling points is its fantastic shopping opportunities; Sloane Square, Kings Road, Sloane Street and Fulham Road to name but a few hotspots. Independent and specialist shops abound; there is a wealth of luxury furniture stores, antique shops, fashion boutiques. You are never more than a few minutes from some of the loveliest shops in London. Venture to Chelsea Farmer’s Market on Sydney Street – not, in fact, a market – for more independent businesses and restaurants; a lovely place to wander around and relax. Chelsea is blessed with a number of green spaces, including Battersea Bridge Gardens, Chelsea Embankment Gardens and Royal Hospital Chelsea, used for the Chelsea Flower Show. It also, of course, stretches along the banks of the River Thames. There are also many places of interest to while away a relaxed afternoon, including Chelsea Physic Garden, London’s oldest botanical garden, Chelsea Town Hall, home to the Chelsea Public Library and some historically important frescos, and the Saatchi Gallery, a hint to Chelsea’s artistic credentials. The area is renowned for its nightlife - lively but civilised - with lots of highly rated restaurants, bars and clubs, frequented by a young crowd. Chelsea Football Club plays home matches at Stamford Bridge, a stadium which is located on the western edge of Chelsea, near Fulham Broadway.
Getting Around: There are a number of tube stations operating in the area on different lines of the underground. Stations include South Kensington, Gloucester Road, Sloane Square, Earl’s Court and Imperial Wharf overground.
The number 11 bus takes you from Chelsea into the heart of the City – with some amazing views en route.
Other Things to Note: We kindly request that you read the house rules prior to booking and respect them during your stay. Parties or events of any kind will not be tolerated. Violation of this rule will result in eviction from the property and charges for any damages or additional cleaning required. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
There are many things I loved about this property. The location is excellent. Comfortable bed. Nice linens. The bedroom was lovely. They need to fix the small opening in the bathroom ceiling from an apparent water leak asap. It is a basement unit and some moisture is to be expected, but there is a musty smell in the entryway that can be kept at bay with the very heavy curtains separating it from the bedroom.
There was a problem with the lock, but since the communication with the company is excellent it was corrected that evening. They are very easy to reach and very responsive.
Just what we needed: clean and comfortable, good sleeping.
A couple of minor repairs are needed: The one I remember is the glass shade for bathroom light is broken.
Oh, and, I recommend clarifying directions on using heat. (We did go to the web sight indicated, but that didn’t help. We were looking for the “silver box” which we did not find. We did figure out to turn the silver knob at the bottom of the heating unit.)
We did really like the place and location!
