The name Chelsea is synonymous with two things - affluence and football. Characterized by historic, yet chic buildings, there’s no denying that this area’s history is strongly linked to the British aristocracy, a past that, much like the rest of the city, runs deep. Set aside some cash for a shopping experience like none other. As you stroll through King’s Road and Sloane Square, you’ll encounter plenty of posh stores, some with eye-watering price tags but others with prices closer to the ground. If shopping isn’t your thing, be sure to drop by Stamford Bridge, the iconic stadium that’s home to Chelsea Football Club, or hit one of the popular rooftop bars in the area. Whatever you intend to do, be sure to book a hotel in Chelsea, as your home away from home can make or break your vacation. But if you’re inclined to non-traditional stays, read on to learn about the best Vrbo holiday homes in and around Chelsea, London.

There are two bedrooms here in which, as the host puts it, there is high-quality Egyptian cotton linen on luxurious beds.

4. Stylish luxury apartment (from USD 200)

Minimalism is the word that comes to mind when you see this apartment. The interior has only what guests need: a couch in the living room, a television in the corner, and a circular, three-seater dining table with chairs. Free from all the clutter of modernity, you have enough space to move about within. However, there are certain bits and pieces that give this apartment some character, for instance, the singular piece of wall art in the living room or the elegant vase with flowers on the dining table.

With one bedroom, this rental is ideal for couples and, from here, you’ll be able to easily explore London, thanks to the Earl’s Court tube station, found just two minutes away.

6. Luxury executive apartment

This apartment is modest in its size but emanates a luxurious appeal, perhaps because of the modern, chic furniture, the stylish fittings, or perhaps because of the breathtaking city view via the windows. Whatever the case, this delightful rental is bound to leave you spellbound. The interior, as mentioned, isn’t very expansive, with the living space also doubling as the dining area. However, the clever design makes it feel as spacious as any other Chelsea apartment.

There’s a dedicated kitchen, a compact space, but fitted with all you’ll need if you’re planning to prepare your own meals. And there are two bedrooms, each with a double bed. Combined with the sofa bed in the living room, a total of six can comfortably call this home. From here, simply stroll to the Natural History Museum or Hyde Park, which are both an easy walk away.
