Quiet Chelsea Retreat
We have just returned from a wonderful three months spent in Michele's flat in Chelsea, which is located in a pretty and charming area of London. This tucked away corner is full of fascinating laneways and historic buildings, with St Thomas Moore's church right next door. Nestled by the Thames and surrounded by some of the best shopping and restaurants London has to offer, you have the great museums, parks, palaces and galleries on your doorstep, as well as Harrods, Duke of York Square, and the designer shops of Sloane St near by.
Easy transport is just around the corner, with numerous buses on the Kings Rd to take you to the West End, Westminster, Waterloo...
or a quick hop or walk to Sloane Sqaure or Sth Kensington tube stations.
The flat is on the third floor, with steep stairs but the pretty view across the rooftops to the river makes the exercise worthwhile.
Michele is a caring, considerate and thoughtful host, who was anxious to make sure everything was alright and quick to fix any problems. His charming flat is full of interesting artwork, antiques and books and had everything you might need.
We felt lucky to have found such a pretty quiet corner to retreat to from London's frantic, endless parade and fortunate to have had such a caring and considerate host as Michele.
