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.
