Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Not only is this compact apartment a perfect base for exploring trendy Notting Hill, but it's also got the style to match. Original features like the grand fireplace and decorative ceilings pair with pastel furnishings – and the mezzanine bedroom offers the perfect vantage point to admire the thoughtful design (though the low ceiling might be a problem for taller guests). There's certainly plenty of space for two guests to properly settle in, but with so many attractions on your doorstep, you might not find yourselves home much. Just around the corner are the trendy cafes and shops of Portobello Road, and it's a short walk to Kensington Palace and Hyde Park.

Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout, and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
Taller guests should take care on the mezzanine level, as the ceiling is quite low here. Additionally, guests with reduced mobility should be aware that there is no handrail on the staircase to the mezzanine.
