This is a duplex apartment in a great position, one minute's walk from Earl's Court tube station (District and Piccadilly lines - tube direct from Heathrow). It's ideal budget (2 star) accommodation for a family, sleeping 5 comfortably with the possibility of either a cot or good put-me-up bed for a 6th person (child or adult). Visitors to the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre (5 mins walk) or nearby Olympia (15 mins) find it particularly convenient. Car parking (needs to be pre-booked) is available for £5/day. Adrienne the owner, who lives in the lower part of the same house, has been a landlady here since 1965. Although it has been periodically modernised and redecorated, she has kept the overall style unchanged from that era. The property is clean and well cared for with well laundered towels and bed linen from John Lewis (an up-market London department store) and fresh flowers (normally lilies) to welcome new guests. Adrienne has a heart of gold and gives her guests an enthusiastic welcome, telling them all about the area and ensuring they are comfortable. Sleeping arrangements are one double, one double/twin and one single. A sixth person can sleep on a good put-me-up bed. There's one bathroom and an additional downstairs loo. |

This room has comfortable seating for 5 and a dining table to seat 6. There's a coal effect electric fire, TV (cable and satellite - so you can pick up CNN) and stereo (bring your own CDs and tapes). The apartment has its own telephone which accepts incoming calls. An easily purchased phone card must be used for outgoing calls. Next door is the small but well equipped kitchen - all the normal equipment + washing machine (no dryer but drying rack is provided). The bathroom with matching bath (hand and over shower), loo, basin and bidet is on the next half landing. |

Please note that we market this property on behalf of its owner whose procedures and arrangements differ slightly from ours. The owner herself will meet you, show you in and answer any questions you may have about the area. There is no "Welcome Pack" of breakfast goodies - however there are "24/7" shops very close by. You do still have access to the Coach House London Vacation Rentals telephone help line to provide you with answers to questions about London - what to do and see, should you need advice. |
