Sweet Like Candy in Hammersmith, London

Sweet Like Candy Self-Catering

Mixing traditional elements with contemporary features, it isn't surprising to discover this home was designed from scratch. While the living room and kitchen stand out with pops of bright colour, the bedrooms represent a more traditional, laid-back aesthetic with statement wallpapers and plush carpets. There's even a study that could easily double as a TV room. Families will find the versatility of the twin bedroom useful, and the Kensington location, not far from the High Street and Kensington Gardens, is an added bonus.

Home truths:
* Please note that this home is set on the second floor of the building with no lift, so there are a fair few stairs to climb
* The second bedroom beds can either be used as two singles or pushed together to make a super king sized bed – please let your host know which you would prefer
* The fifth guest in this home will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the study
* The carpet in the communal hallway of the building is fairly worn
