Located in North Kensington, this studio apartment is a twenty-minute walk from iconic Notting Hill and Portobello Road. And for reaching the rest of the capital, just hop on the Tube – Ladbroke Grove station is a fifteen-minute stroll away. We love the period features here – especially the ceiling roses and ornate cornicing. With a lounge area and dining table, this place is bigger than your average London studio. Whether you’re in town for work or pleasure, we think this home a great option for a couple or solo traveller seeking a characterful base in a convenient location.

Home truths

If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance and bring your own bedding.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
