Elena’s AirBnB is the most high style AirBnB accommodation I have stayed in yet. Although it is, I believe, technically located in Pimlico, it is so close to Belgravia I was not sure that it wasn’t in Belgravia until I looked it up. The room is in a beautiful, elegant home of a type that is called a terrace house in the UK and would be called a townhouse in the US.
The room is located on the ground floor at the end of the hall so the room is in the rear of the house. It is huge and beautiful and blessedly quiet considering you are in the center of London. The ceiling is high, with lovely plaster moldings. There are large windows on either side of the room which allows for lovely cross breezes when the windows on both sides are open. The room is light and airy and spacious and will charm you.
As seen in the photos, the room is divided by a double wardrobe/bookcase unit. This allowed my husband to go to bed early, and me to sit up and read without disturbing him. The bed is comfortable and quite large. The bathroom, though compact, is luxuriously appointed. The light well in the bathroom ceiling ensures the room is well lit. The room is furnished in a modern style, with everything imported from Italy. There are loads of books and interesting art. It is styled and equipped above most AirBnBs in this price range.
It did not meet Elena, but I met her charming son and her sweet and very helpful housekeeper, Nida. It was, altogether, a lovely stay and I highly recommend Elena’s place, especially if you need an affordable place in a lovely, safe neighborhood near the very center of London. If I could give more than 5 stars, I surely would.
