Set in a quiet corner of Notting Hill, yet with buzzy Portobello Market and Westbourne Grove a stroll away and the underground even closer, the location of this apartment is hard to beat.

And there's no dodgy sofa bed set-ups here – instead, expect two well-proportioned bedrooms as light-filled as the next.
