A very liveable and attractive apartment wonderfully located! Near transportation, good restaurants, neighborhood food stores, plenty of shopping and a lovely neighborhood to explore. Road construction blocked our street much of our stay, but I assume that was temporary. A Place Like Home staff were responsive to our few requests. We were very happy with this flat!

Ten days in Chelsea
We had a lovely 10 days in the flat at Draycott Place. However, some things need attention. A couch had broken springs and the overhead shower rose in the bathroom was broken. Additionally the kitchen utensils and crockery were past their best and not organized. They just didn’t come up to the standard we expected from a place of this class. The flat is spacious, quiet and is in a fantastic location in the heart of Chelsea. Overall if more attention was paid to these things it could be rated as excellent.

Comfortable and Convenient
We greatly enjoyed having an apartment to ourselves, rather than stay at an hotel. It was clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location.

Lovely Flat Near Kings Road
The flat is simply adorable. Spacious, conveniently located on first floor walk up. Quiet upscale neighborhood in walking distance to a charming little street filled with a butcher, cheese shop, bread shop, wine shop, general store and a restaurants. The lighting in the flat is amazing. Two bathrooms as well. The pillows and mattress might need updating (a bit firm for my taste) but it’s a very beautiful apartment one can instantly feel at home in. The staff were very responsive to every question, even after hours. Really great find!!!
