In historic Portobello, just a stone's throw from the canal, this red-brick townhouse couldn't be better located. It's a five-minute walk from Camden's trendy eateries and pubs, a twenty-minute stroll from the shops on Grafton Street, and thirty minutes on foot from lively Temple Bar. Although the home dates back to 1893, the interiors are quite contemporary, and it's packed with all the essentials. There are two en-suite bedrooms, a breezy lounge with a sofa bed for two, and a dedicated workspace if you're travelling on business. Outside, a small patio is an ideal spot to enjoy a Guinness in the sunshine. You'll feel right at home here, we're sure.
