Relax on this lovely townhouse apartment's private balcony – we love this spot with its views of the pretty Notting Hill street below. Inside, stripped wood floors, golden age Hollywood movie prints, and luxurious linen curtains create the shabby chic vibe that the neighbourhood is known for. Choose a book from the bookshelf and unwind on the sumptuous lilac sofa. Then, get ready in the bathroom with its blue mosaic tiles and huge Moroccan style light fitting before exploring out and about. There are an array of stylish bars and eateries, right on your doorstep, including a Michelin-starred restaurant just a five-minute stroll away. If you fancy some shopping, the boutiques of Westbourne Grove and the antique stalls of Portobello Road Market are around a ten-minute walk. On top of all this, Westbourne Park Station is a five-minute saunter if you want to explore the rest of London. This home has the perfect location, away from the main tourist bustle, but close to the best the area has to offer – it's ideal for a couple wanting a classic Notting Hill experience.
