Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This is a vibrant, action-packed, unique home that has to be one of the most impressive in our collection. The interiors are bold and colourful with a design that mixes 1970's Kubrick inspired furniture and pop art with modern marble finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. It's safe to say this isn't for those who prefer a more subtle environment, but it will work perfectly if you are looking for a memorable stay in a high-end, designer home in an equally desirable neighbourhood.

Home truths
Please note that the double bed in one of the bedrooms is a small double and two adults might find it cramped
We would bear in mind that although the home can sleep eight guests, two people would be on a pull out bed and one person would be on an airbed that the host can set up in the single bedroom
As this home is on the first floor of the building there is not an abundance of natural light
There are steps up to the front door of the building so unfortunately the space isn't wheelchair friendly
You’ll be required to sign a digital rental agreement from the host prior to your stay for security and insurance purposes. Your host will send this to you after your booking is confirmed
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old to rent this home.

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
