Some places just have a sense of ease as soon as you step inside. This two bedroom apartment at Aykon Nine Elms in London honestly gave me that exact feeling. I wandered in and took my time, letting my eyes travel over the soft light on the hardwood floors and those unmistakable Versace touches everywhere you look. There is a calm here that is hard to explain until you actually set foot inside.
You enter and the living area just kind of opens up with that modern open plan vibe that always feels good. The kitchen is not just for show either, you can really picture yourself making something special on a weekend morning. The stone countertop stays cool even when the space is filling with sunlight, there is just something pleasant about it. Appliances are all premium and they look as if no one has ever cooked on them. Even the little details, right down to the curved door handles and the splash of Versace gold here and there, feel very deliberate. If you look up, the lighting sets this inviting glow that somehow softens the city just outside.
Both bedrooms are proper sanctuaries too, honestly speaking. The hardwood under your feet is smooth and rich in color, not slippery but not sticky either. The built-in wardrobes are actually big enough to fit a London wardrobe, which is not always a given. Sometimes it feels like you could just curl up with a good book and not think about much else for a while. Each room sort of wraps around you, thanks to thick doors that block out any hint of traffic or city sound. There is storage where you need it, never in the way but enough so you don't have to stash extra things behind doors.
And the best thing is every bit of the apartment is swept up in this design story by Versace. The fixtures and fittings were actually chosen with the brand in mind, you notice. You do not get lost in showy details though. It just feels slick but also homely. The kind of place where you can entertain friends if you want but also just lay low for a quiet night in.
Now, Aykon Nine Elms itself adds a completely different layer. As you make your way around the building you run into these surprises that make city living better. The gym is glass walled so you never feel closed in, even when you are tackling a workout. The pool has these mosaic tiles that honestly sparkle whether it is morning or evening. The rooftop garden is absolutely the sort of spot you end up drifting to after dinner. I stood up there for a minute and just watched the Thames flow by, lights flickering on the water. There are plenty of lounge spaces plus a private cinema that feels more boutique than blocky, and of course bits of Versace, even in the smallest corners.
Kids have their own special play area and when I was last there a couple of little ones were giggling by the window, just watching the city go past. It struck me as the kind of place where you could raise a family or just enjoy a quieter pace, even though you are so close to the heart of London. Weekend coffee spots are everywhere around Nine Elms and honestly you are only ever five minutes away from a good flat white or fresh croissant. You get full concierge service if you want it, plus help with housekeeping, dining, and even valet for those days when you don't want to deal with parking.
Nine Elms itself is changing all the time and there's a real sense of energy on the streets. Sometimes you glimpse couples out walking along the river or kids biking to school. It is that mix of city and community that not every neighbourhood has.
