About us
Refined London living,
made effortless
A refined collection of homes, with service to match.
Urban Nest Estates is a London based short and medium-term rental management company. We operate a portfolio of serviced apartments across London, from Notting Hill and Kensington to Paddington, Marylebone, Limehouse and the West End, alongside property in Manchester. Every one is chosen for its transport links, so guests are minutes from a station and a short ride from the centre.
Behind every stay is a team carefully managing each detail, from presentation and pricing to housekeeping, maintenance and guest care. Guests enjoy a seamless experience, while owners have the confidence that their home is being looked after to the highest standard.
