This modern Victorian pad is a short walk from the vibrant stalls of Portobello Road Market, the trendy boutiques of Golbourne Road and the wine bars of Notting Hill. How about that for location? This apartment is a great base for those seeking a West London locale – grab coffee from the neighbourhood cafe, spend the morning remotely working from the desk in the second bedroom and enjoy a bottle of wine in the classic but stylish living space. Need to visit as a group of three? Your host can accommodate an extra guest upon request.

Home truths
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
The second bedroom doubles up as a home study – perfect for remote workers.
While storage space is minimal, if you have a guest staying in the second bedroom, they can share the master bedroom's wardrobe, or speak to your host if you'd like a temporary hanging rail.
If you're travelling for work, you will find a desk in the second bedroom.
There is no TV or microwave at this home.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. Ladbroke Grove is a short walk away.
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
