Pretty Portobello

You can't beat this location. Just a five-minute walk from Portobello Road, this apartment puts Notting Hill at your fingertips. This is the place to be if you're looking for delicious restaurants, vintage shops, or trendy cafes – though if you're keen to venture further afield, Ladbroke Grove Station is a three-minute stroll away. Back home, the bright living space is instantly welcoming. You'll find a compact kitchen complete with all the necessities, a hallway bookcase stacked with interesting titles, and a comfortable bedroom with a small conservatory. We think it's an ideal hideaway for couples and solo travellers.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the first floor and doesn't have a lift. You'll need to be comfortable climbing stairs.
*There's portable air conditioning and fans in the bedroom.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and high chair upon request.
*The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Though the kitchen is a little small, it has all the essentials. That said, with so many excellent eateries nearby, we suggest dining out.
