Probably something we all look for when we stay away is comfortable accommodation. Whether your choice is a 5 star hotel, a specialist boutique hotel or a B & B, comfort is probably top of your list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does comfort mean to you? A soft, springy bed with luxurious cotton sheets or a bathroom to luxuriate in with soft towels and sweet-smelling pamper products?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe you love something quirky. If you do we\u2019ve spotted a house in London available to rent. It\u2019s called the Rainbow House and it\u2019s located in West London in the trendy Portobello Road area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The colourful Rainbow House<\/b><\/p>\n

The Rainbow House was a typical four bedroom townhouse but its interior was redesigned by AB Rogers who just happens to be the son of the world famous architect Lord Rogers. AB obviously loves bright colours as the house is full of them \u2013 fanciful painted floors by Richard Woods and a spectacular spiral staircase in multi colours and much more. It is described as \u2018child friendly\u2019 and you can see why much of it would appeal to youngsters or the child in you.<\/p>\n

The letting agent, Domus Nova, describes the building as \u2018living art\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The master bedroom has wall to ceiling glass walls and mirrored cupboards which give it a real sense of spaciousness. The bed revolves to give you a view out over London or towards the circular bath. The freestanding circular bath which sits in the centre of the room really does look grand.<\/p>\n

When you want to go down to the living area, if you can\u2019t face those stairs, just lift up the man-hole cover and slide all the way down! Yes just like many of the recent agency offices around the world and particularly Google offices, the Rainbow House uses a slide as an alternative means of descent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The slide gives you a soft landing on what is described as a \u2018sofa piazza\u2019 which can also sink into the floor.<\/p>\n
