A stone's throw from Hyde Park, Notting Hill, and Kensington Gardens, this apartment is perfectly placed to experience the best of London. For a basement-level home, it has an abundance of natural light – both the living area and the main bedroom are flooded with sunshine. Minimalist and serene, you can feel your stress melt away when you return from your adventures. We're especially fond of the main suite, which has an en-suite bathroom, a desk for remote working, and a large window facing an ivy-covered patio. Factor in the proximity to Bayswater Station – a five-minute walk – and you can see why it caught our eye.

About Bayswater
