Set in the suburbs of West London, this smart apartment makes an excellent base for a stay near the city. Portobello Road’s famous market, Notting Hill, and Ladbroke Grove station are all a short stroll away, so getting around – or staying local – couldn’t be easier. Inside, the space is bright, with an open-plan living and dining area that opens out onto a private balcony. There’s even a second balcony off the main bedroom – perfect for a breath of fresh air before heading out for the day.
