Carlton Vale apartments IV

It is easy to get around the city from home, and you have the benefit of returning to a calm, residential neighbourhood after a busy day exploring. It will suit those looking for a laid-back base in a peaceful location. The bathrooms and the kitchen, in particular, have been newly renovated, so they are definitely standout features with their high-end marble finishes.

Leafy Maida Vale is one of London’s most sought-after residential areas and for a good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC’s Maida Vale studios mean that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
