This is a modern, pristine apartment on one of London's most prestigious streets - five minutes from the world-famous Harrods and Harvey Nichols, mere minutes from Knightsbridge tube. The apartment comes with one of the most precious items a Londoner can own - keys to a private garden square, for use while you are renting the apartment. You are five to ten minutes from Sloane Square and the fabulous Kings Road with its fashion boutiques, trendy bars and cornucopia of restaurants. Recommendations to help you wade through the minefield of London's culinary scene can be provided.

Furnishings are modest but functional and perfect for an unpretentious base while you explore the world's most cosmpolitan city. You'll find all the expected modcons: flatscreen TV with digital channels, broadband wireless internet, iPod speakers and dock, washing machine and dryer, etc. The flat itself is on the first floor (there is an elevator) of a period conversion, totally modernised and sleeps four comfortably in its two bedrooms. The sofa is convertible into a further double bed. There is a dining table, extendable to seat six, side tables with lamps and comfortable arm chairs to complete the domestic appareil. In the small but fully equipped kitchen you will find the various appliances essential for meals-at-home including a large fridgefreezer, a microwave, a dishwasher and - in an adjacent nook - a washing machine and dryer.

When travelling to a new city, particularly one of the world's great capitals, it is so easy to lose oneself - to find oneself pre-booking accommodation in the wrong neighbourhood and thereby colouring one's entire vacation, gaining a mistakenly gloomy impression of the unfamiliar environment. If, however, you site yourself correctly and settle in an upscale, desirable quarter your experience is the opposite: alluring, almost dream-like, an interloping into the lives of the city's illuminati. Knightsbridge is just such a neighbourhood and this apartment is perfectly positioned to take advantage. Minutes from Hyde Park and Kensington Park Gardens, a few hundred metres from the Victoria and Albert, the National History and the Science Museums (in South Kensington) and - for anyone who knows London - best of all, steps from your own piece of paradise: the velvet, soft lawns and mature foliage of a garden square.
