It's no wonder this colourful apartment was featured in House & Garden Magazine. The design highlights vintage aesthetics that perfectly complement Notting Hill's eclectic atmosphere. A cottage-style kitchen is well-stocked if you fancy a home-cooked meal, while the window seat is the ideal spot to curl up with a book. But the cherry on top of it all is the location.
